New Tights!

I don't consider myself a "Curvaceous" woman in any way shape or form, but for some reason every pair of stockings I've come in contact with treat me like an anorexic popsicle stick. So while I was taking part in my ritualistic retail therapy at the beginning of the paycheck, I came across 'Razza matazz Curvaceous pantyhose'. Having a look at the back of this pack and a normal set of the same brands stockings, I seem to be on the borderline of normal and curvaceous because of my height! So taking the advice on the back of the package that I "may prefer the larger size" I proudly took home my first pair of 120D stockings.
(Note, there are 2 sizes to choose from, 1 or 2. Size 1 is up to 175cm in height and up to 100kg. Size 2 is up to 185cm and 125kg.) I can probably say that I could almost, almost go home with either size really. I hate having too tight tights(oh the irony!) I like them to be comfortable and functional of course, but who said they have to cut off the circulation to stay on?! Anyhow, they are *very* comfortable and the 120 denier make these oh so worth the $10 I spent on them. They are very soft and because they are of the nature of most hosiery, I think anyone with 'a little bit of leg' could manage these.
I also think that because they are almost as opaque as my leggings, that I might just use these instead! And yes, this is a late winter purchase but it's still bitterly cold outside, and I needed new ones!

Final verdict I guess is that even though you are shelling out a bit more for only one pair, they feel like they will last much longer than normal stockings. They are also comfortable for pretty much anyone who can't stand even the X-tall of most normal stockings.
Where to buy - I bought mine at Big W but I know you can get them at most places like Target and Kmart.
Price - This pack was $10.83 at Big W in the City, not sure if price varies much from that though.
Also, I bought myself some new hairspray since I have been out for weeks/months/I can't even remember the last time I had hairspray. I mainly bought it because I tried this last night;And it didn't stay up like it was supposed to because I had no hair product in my bathroom whatsoever!
Regardless, I will prevail! Tonight I am making steak and kidney pie, and possibly peanut butter cookies!
