apricot’s closet: fishnets.
Friday, September 5th, 2008
shirt, from American Apparel; vest & fishnets, from Target; shorts, from Ross; red shoes, from thrift store; jewelry is miscellaneous.
My new favorite thing in the whole world — other than my smile inducing husband — are these fishnets. To say that I adore them would be an understatement; I simply lust after them, even more so now that I have them.
I found them sporadically at Target, after longing to have my very own pair for months & months. I gasped when I saw them hanging on a rack & I suddenly didn’t care that I hadn’t gone to Target for my own personal gain (the trip was only for moving necessities, & to that I say: boring!) & bought them anyway. & I knew exactly what I was going to wear them with: shorts, of course! & any kind.
I don’t know what it is about fishnets that appeal to me. Maybe it’s the seemingly skankiness of them; maybe it’s because I’ve always been fond of actual fishing nets. I don’t know. But what I DO know is that my inner bad-ass & sex kitten alter-ego (who doesn’t have a name at the moment) comes out boldly when I prance around in these tasteless little things. I just love them.
I only hope that it doesn’t make me look like a hooker.
This was the last outfit worn in our old apartment. I hardly miss it at all. & thank goodness for having internet back in our own dwelling place. I was beginning to feel completely cut off from the world.

I love tights with shorts — and fishnets are particularly awesome too. They make you look like you’re from the chorus of Cabaret or Chicago. :)

I love the look!
I just wish I could pull of tights & shorts. I think I may need to get some tighter shorts or something…

Elegant — not hookerish at all.

Not hookerish at all. I love fishnets, really need to get some for myself.

Nah, you don’t look like a hooker. You look stylish and cute. These are not for me, but they look awesome on you.

Haha, my grandmother thinks fishnets are hookerish. I find that hilarious. I, on the other hand, love them and think you look fabulous in them!! :)
