I saw a girl the other day wearing a lovely green and white patterned dress. It fit her perfectly and the colours were delightful on her. Unfortunately she chose to pair it with heavy black tights/pantihose and heavy black shoes. There wasn’t a problem with either of the separate elements, it was just when she combined them together it all fell apart.
There was no black in the dress, so it didn’t balance at all with the tights, and it was a warm day, so the heavy black tights looked out of place anyway. If the dress had black in the pattern, she might have been able to pull it off, but as it was, it wasn’t working.
Please people, when you put an outfit on in the morning, make sure all the elements work together. If she’d lost the tights she would have looked fine. As it was, she looked silly.

Sounds a bit like she was influenced by Zooey Deschanel, perhaps? (Who, on her own, can wear black tights with anything and look lovely. That doesn't work for all...)
Ashe, I think if she'd had any black at all in the dress she would have been fine. It was just that it was such a summery dress with such heavy winterish stockings that made it fail for me.
What if the tights were white, or some other fun POP of a colour?
White would have been great, or if she could have found the green from her dress it would have been outstanding!
