Amused Musings On A Slightly Absurd World

For the past year, I have received approximately a thousand hits concerning my dilemma of being unable to find economically priced pantyhose in a flesh-colored shade suitable for women of color. See here. Although I used to work in the corporate world and was able to shell out $8-$10 per pair for a name-brand at the department store, I’m now a civil servant and can’t afford to go that route anymore. Also, the older I get, the cheaper I become. more discerning I become about my hard-earned dollars. Since Target discontinued my favorite sheer Hanes Solutions pantyhose in “Honey,” I’ve been in a perpetual fit. I tried a pair of Brown Sugar hose I found in the grocery store and which is supposedly also sold Wal-Mart, but it had a run the first day I wore them and the color was a bit too dark for day sheer. So, I’m resolved to do what I did last winter and wear tights. Right now I have a lot of black and brown, but I need to branch out the color spectrum. I’m interested to know what other ladies of color are doing to keep their gams warm and still be professional in this cold world of retailers who don’t care about us. Drop me a line.
