Comments:
Some of you have asked me how I managed to wear tights in a country as hot as Panama. Well, I only wear them on days that I know I will be indoors most of the day. In Panama, most places are air conditioned (and when I say most I really mean all of them). So wearing tights is quite acceptable.

Plus, I try to wear tights mostly at night where the weather is cooler. During the day, I wear a different version of the same outfit that is cooler and more weather appropriate. Today for example, I wore this outfit to go shopping:

Today's outfit was actually inspired by an outfit by Jessica from What I Wore. I really loved the idea of wearing colored tights with shoes of the same color; so I did the same with my burgundy tights and burgundy pumps! I like how this trick elongates my legs.

Do you ever wear colored tights with shoes of the same color?

Here are all the ways in which I've worn this polka dot dress:
