rodarte vs spiders

It's a bit weird with timed posts as I can't see if anyones already posted about this! You might have flicked through i-D and seen the ah-mazing editorial with Jourdan Dunn and noticed the Rodarte tights they used above, which are probably an insane price and highly unattainable, and then the cheapie, semi-kinky body stocking they used below that from afar have a similar budget effect. Look closer and they are noted as the Music Legs Spiderweb Body Stocking from Love Honey- for sexy and secure adult shopping. Not usually the site I browse but at £9.99 with free delivery these are a steal! Up close on the website they do really look like spiders but with a little ripping they are a close resemblance to something a bit warped and tattered looking.

Also it's a body stocking. Do any of you own a body stocking? I wonder if they feel constricted or cosy or super sexy? It could allow you to wear a short sleeveless dress with a lower neckline in the day time as effectively you are covered up. Or would it seem like you had a matching top and tights? I think I might invest in the H&M lace leggings are seen on Miss Woo of Cheapskate Chic (or super chic in my opinion!) first as tights are the best way to dabble in trends, I can see lace and tartan hurting my eyes soon!

i love your blog! & congrats on being teenvogue blogger of the moment/week/month (haha i forgot)

personally, i'm not a fan of those tights...they're not exactly my style. even for halloween i would opt for regular tights. the texture is interesting, i must admit.

please visit my blog, http://la-couturier.blogspot.com!! =)

I bet you could get the spider ones to work to your favour. I bet if you checked out some costume stores then you could get some like that for even cheaper!
I was tempted once to order a Gareth Pugh striped body stocking once that was on MAD sale. I'm not sure what happened to that idea...
Anyways I don't think it would be all that uncomfortable, I hike up tights up to my rib cage anyways so it would feel the same to me! lol

Ugh.. 9.95 pounds may be a steal for you, but for me it's like HOLY GOD LOTS OF MONEY. That body stocking does look pretty rad, although I think my mother would have a fit if I bought that..

That body stocking is amazing--you'll have to let us know how it feels...

as soon as i saw the i-d editorial a few days ago, i went straight to lovehoney! i was highly amused to find out that it was an adult site...but happily browsed the tights. i didn't purchase though...still considering if i can handle a body stocking...

but rodarte's cobwebs? can't get enough!

ahh I love rodarte! *swoon*

I love experimenting with tights in the winter so will definitely have to keep an eye out for some tights like these. Not sure about a body stocking though, to be fair haven't worn one since i was about 10, how do you go to the loo in these? are there poppers along the crotch? (ha ha you can tell when i last wore one!)

I actually have some spiderweb tights. The problem is, mine aren't stretchy. They sort of have these thick seams that slice up your thighs when you sit down. I'd recommend getting them in person so you have a chance to check their texture, if at all possible.

I giggled at the "sexy and secure" adult shopping, though the spider web onesies is quite nice!

and thanks for the mention, did you get them in the end? :D I wanna go back for the white ones too once the work pay arrives!

The spider web bodysuit doesn't look too comfortable...which isn't a problem if one only wears it for an hour at most. I don't think it'll be very practical to wear for a whole day or something even though it looks so hot in the editorial...

i bought the H&M ones youre talking about, i got them in a reddish brown colour, theyre so comfy! i may change them for the black ones though as they might be a little less noticable as im finding it hard to wear with the right outfit without looking like a hooker o-o
got any ideas on what to wear gorgeous lace leggings with?

xoxo
