official pantyhose count

It was part of my list of things to do during this two weeks, so I've done it: tried on and surveyed my current pantyhose options. Only one had a run, and that was small, near the toe, and easily fixed with nail polish.

iridescent lavender kneehighs
purple tights
green tights
navy tights
silver sparkly tights!
black tights
black rose-print tights
navy/green/wine argyle tights
reinforced-toe ivory pantyhose
reinforced-toe tanner-than-I'll-ever-be pantyhose
sheer-toe charcoal grey pantyhose
sheer-toe ivory pantyhose
sheer-toe tanner-than-I'll-ever-be pantyhose with lace fake-garter detail

You know, for someone who doesn't wear skirts often, I've grown quite a collection of pantyhose over the years. The last ones I remember buying were the purple tights, bought sometime in the past three years for wearing with my crazy purple dress. Amusingly, the pantyhose that remain are almost all cheap Walmart-type brands (Hanes, etc), while the Victoria's Secret pairs I remember buying on sale but still for horribly expensive got runs in them rather quickly. Do they suck more, or did I wear them more and subject them to cat claws? I don't know.

Maybe I should wear skirts more often. Some of those tights have never seen the outside world. Including the silver sparkly ones, and that's just a crime.

To sum up this experiment, I have several pairs of useful interview pantyhose. Yay!
