Hey everyone! I'm so grateful to Whitney and Monica for having me today! I'm Alex from Peppermint Plum, where I blog about my life as a wife, momma, writer, and photographer in California.
Alright roomies, here's my inquiry... Printed tights are like six month old babies; you really want to take them out in public because they're just so darn cute, but you're a little bit afraid that they will be a tad too loud for the average stranger. As it just so happens, sometimes I like to take my six month old baby girl out in public, while wearing my fair isle printed tights; yep, I'm crazy like that.
So how do you feel about printed tights? A fun alternative to the mundane black legging? A vibrant accessory to an otherwise drab grey sweater? Or a juvenile attempt at warming up my dress and boots look?
At least if you all tell me I'm crazy for sporting these tights, I can roll them up and stick them in the back of my sock drawer; my baby, not so much. Plus, I'm pretty sure her precious little face and sweet smile would win them over.
Are you wearing printed tights this season? What are your thoughts on them??

yes yes YES to printed tights! Who cares what the average stranger thinks?
I think the tights are AWESOME and super stylish...and if random strangers don't agree...pshht...well then, good thing you will have your baby to distract from the loud (but again, awesome) tights :)

Yes they look great, I think this outfit is pretty much the perfect way to wear them. Since they are so 'loud' throwing on a solid colored pieces and a bright colored scarf really keeps them under control.
Totally cute!
Alex, you can pull just about anything off. I love the tights (and the entire outfit!). Miss you and your darling family!

I LOVE those printed tights! I say go for it!
I personally love them! They're not really my style, but I admire women who can rock them. I say go for it!
Those tights are fantastic. I'm a sucker for tights, however. I say wear them loud and proud!
Awesome colors! I love that scarf!

Great outfit and the tights are really the icing on the cake. The cute yellow scarf and simple solid grey sweater really make the tights the signature piece without overpowering. Plus the boots and socks? Forget about it, you are adorable!
Adorable! They remind me of leg warmers also- breaks up the line in a nice way.
This is the cutest look I have ever seen in my life. I wasn't planning to wear printed tights this season, but now I am.
This look is absolutely adorable! The way you styled the whole outfit is great. It's not too over the top, so go for it!
such cute cute style!! LOVE!

thank you thank you thank you friends!! I'm glad I'm not crazy...well not all the time at least :) oh and I miss you too Lindsay!!!
Definitely yes to printed tights, especially these. The way Alex is wearing them is perfect.
I agree with the rest of the readers, not only are the tights great, but pairing them with the solid colors makes them stand out in a good way. I love this.
You look adorable. For you, the patterned tights are a definite yes.
Shut up -- I think they're ADORABLE! Especially with those boots.
