Lady Smaggle has a lot of tights. That I can tell from her daily style pics. When she made a necklace out of her laddered tights, that well and truly left me going 'Doooooh... all this time I've been making arm warmers and headbands with my tights...when I could have done THIS!'. Time passed and I never did get round to cutting up tights into delicate strips and doing some very easy-peasy, sitting-in-front-of-Masterchef-Professionals (don't you just love Michel Roux Jnr saying "This is close to perfection...") knotting action. No, instead, Lady Smaggle took pity on my woeful lack of 48 hour days and said "Susie, your DIY Expert category on your blog is a sorry state of affairs. I'll bloody make the damn necklace for you!". To which I meekly nodded and accepted like the sorry-ass DIY-dummy that I am...
What with American packages being held up due to possible storm action (my Lanvin jacket and jumpsuit is holed up somewhere in Florida...), I haven't had much fashion newbie cheer in a long time. The last time I went shopping was such a distant memory. So Smaggle's necklace was a much needed perk-me-up. I'm now thinking whether the possibility of extending the necklace with my own laddered tights will work, adding different colours/textures. Maybe I'll start some sort of Smaggle Stocking chain, sending the necklace around the world allowing all femmes to add their discarded wretched laddered tights to make a lycra extravaganza that will end up on Bjork or someone of the same ilk who can pull off said accessory.
P.S. I realise the last sentance is completely down to my loopy delusions and deliriousness due to lack of shopping. You send me one necklace and I just completely doolally...
