Sarah Peterson is the fabulous blogger behind Cloud of Secrets!

  Sarah has a fabulous sense of style, in addition to  being both a busy wife and mother. He readers love her unique writing style and absolutely breathtaking photographs! Sarah describes her blog as her "hidden place to be fascinated by fashion, shopping, baubles, luxury, color, and beauty"


Sarah was nice enough to take time out of her busy schedule to do a fantastic review of We Love Colors microfiber tights in maroon. Here's what Sarah had to say:






When you are getting ready for your day, does the idea of tights usually get you excited to get dressed?
I haven't thought about tights much over the past few years.  I've been wearing a lot of jeans while I raise little kids in a pretty casual city.  But I'm excited about the colors, soft texture, and opacity of We Love Colors tights, and I would like to try more easy day dresses and casual skirts with them.

If not, what could make tights a more central accessory in your wardrobe?

My own willingness to try new things -- I'd like to wear daytime dresses and skirts more often, now that my kids are a bit easier to manage.  Good tights will provide shapely leg coverage in cooler seasons.  They'll be useful 3/4 of the year in northern Wisconsin!

 We Love Colors has tights for women of all shapes and sizes: How important is fit when it comes to your clothing choices?
I pay attention to fit.  I find that billowing clothing, minimalist straight lines, and overly tight items aren't the best choices for my figure.  I'm always seeking shapes and sizes that fit and flatter, skimming gently.

Do you just throw on what you have, or are you meticulous about everything fitting properly?

Depends on whether I'll be seen in public!  I quickly check at least 270 degrees of my outfit if I'll be seen quite a bit.  If I spot a problem, I'll work with belting, tucking, buttoning, unbuttoning, a different cardigan or jacket shape, camisole, different undergarments, or distraction with accessories.  I will have a tailor tweak timeless pieces like wool slacks and pencil skirts.

Comfort is important to most moms, but we generally would like it if our "comfortable clothes" also look awesome! Did you find your We Love Colors tights to fit in the "comfort zone?"

Absolutely!  I -have- worn tights a lot in years past (pre-kids and finding flattering jeans), and I'm fussy about them.  The We Love Colors tights were soft and thick; I felt my lumps were controlled, yet I felt entirely comfortable, confident, and cozy.

What is your favorite color to wear? To decorate with?

I love to wear teal and other green-blues, but I often decorate with burgundies.  I plan to add more of it to my wardrobe -- like these maroon tights!

Why do you love these colors so much?
They are rich and exotic.  They go well with either gold or silver and all sorts of neutrals.  They flatter my skin tone, eyes, and hair, which sit between cool and warm.

Compared to tights that you have previously worn, what did you enjoy most about wearing a We Love Colors product (ie: durability, thickness, tag in the back)?
The tag in the back will be so handy!  Why don't more companies do this?  A tag tells me who made the tights I like best so I can purchase more; and it tells me in an instant which is the "back" side. I also appreciated the smooth, soft thickness, the opacity, the sturdy but comfortable toe seam, and the prospect of so many colors to choose from.





Thanks so much to our Two in Technicolor team and to Sarah of Cloud of Secrets!

Two in Technicolor - Melissa of A Working Mom's Closet!



Two in Technicolor is a team featuring two lovely bloggers and friends of We Love Colors...
Kimberly of Fashion Momma and Collette of Statements in Fashion!

Every other week Kimberly and Collette will feature a fellow blogger they've recruited to get the scoop on We Love Colors tights. Kimberly and Collette are both fashionistas AND mothers so we're so excited to send them out into the blogosphere with their unique perspectives!

Melissa is a full-time working, single mom of a sweet little girl. She writes the blog, A Working Mom's Closet, which is not only a look into just that, but truly an inspirational look into the life of a very busy mother and how she juggles all aspects of life. Melissa is known across the blogosphere for her colorful accessories and affinity for belts. She can pretty much take anything from a suit to a tube dress and make it professional with a bit of creativity and a colorful twist. Melissa took We Love Colors footless tights in Teal for a test run, and here’s what she had to say!

When you are getting ready for your day, does the idea of tights usually get you excited to get dressed?
Absolutely! Tights have the uncanny ability to make or break an outfit, just like shoes! Having a new pair of tights is doubly exciting!

When grabbing tights to add to your outfit, would you rather have neutrals or several color choices at hand?  
Colors. Definitely colors. I have an affinity for wearing pops of color and mixing fun combinations so the ability to do that in legwear makes me happy!

We Love Colors has tights for women of all shapes and sizes: How important is fit when it comes to your clothing choices?
Very important. In order to feel good, you have to FEEL good. What woman is going to be confident wearing something that doesn’t fit well, that’s constricting or bunching or pooling around the ankles?

Do you just throw on what you have, or are you meticulous about everything fitting properly?
I would say that I fall into a middle area here. I’m not quite meticulous about proper fit, but I don’t just throw on what I have either.

Comfort is important to most moms, but we generally would like it if our "comfortable clothes" also look awesome! Did you find your We Love Colors tights to fit in the "comfort zone?"
Absolutely. I went through a very long stretch of time where I simply refused to wear any kind of tights or hose because of how uncomfortable they were. They were difficult to put on, they bunched, they twisted, they turned and they snagged and ran so easily! These tights were comfortable all day long, throughout a morning with my three-year-old daughter, a two-hour car trip and then a late night out too! No bunching, no feeling like I’m packed in like a sausage, just comfort and fun colors!

What is your favorite color to wear? To decorate with?
To wear would have to be purple. Apparently. :) My favorite color is green (actually more of a teal, hence the teal tights!) but for some reason purple dominates my closet. In decorating, I’ve found myself being drawn to a neutral palette of browns and beiges with pops of bright colors (blues, greens, etc.).

Why do you love these colors so much?
I think they’re fun! They’re cheerful, inviting and soothing all at the same time.

Compared to tights and hose that you have previously worn, what did you enjoy most about wearing a We Love Colors product (ie: durability, thickness, tag in the back)?
I liked the fact that they were so sturdy but not at all constricting. The color was rich and vibrant and the fit didn’t leave me with marks all over my tummy. As a single, working mom, the last thing I want to mess with in the mornings is taking forever to get a pair of tights on and then having them snag or run before I even get out the door. The We Love Colors tights were not only easy to get on, but easy to wear and stayed intact throughout a VERY busy day!

Two in Technicolor - Folake of Style Pantry!



Two in Technicolor is a team featuring two lovely bloggers and friends of We Love Colors...

Every other week Kimberly and Collette will feature a fellow blogger they've recruited to get the scoop on We Love Colors tights. Kimberly and Collette are both fashionistas AND mothers so we're so excited to send them out into the blogosphere with their unique perspectives!
Click here to read the first installment of Two in Technicolor!




Folake Huntoon is the popular blogger behind Style Pantry. She truly is a wealth of fashion information and inspiration! In addition to having one of the most unique and fashion forward styles I've ever seen, Folake is also an amazingly talented woman who is the owner of her own children's clothing line. Folake was gracious enough to take time out of her super busy schedule to try We Love Colors Splash Matte Leggings in #7306 and answer a few questions for us!


When you are getting ready for your day, does the idea of leggings usually get you excited to get dressed? If not, what could make leggings a more central accessory in your wardrobe?
No, I certainly don't get excited about the idea of wearing leggings when getting ready. In fact, I don't like leggings. They tend to be itchy and uncomfortable. But these pair that I have on right now have changed my perspective. They are 100% comfortable and I love the fabric. I also like that it's high-waist and makes my abs look toned :) 
We Love Colors carries leggings for women of all shapes and sizes: How important is fit when it comes to your clothing choices?
Fit is key. That is the foundation of every outfit or clothing. Without the proper fit, everything else goes wrong.

Comfort is important to most moms, but we generally would like it if our "comfortable clothes" also look awesome! Did you find your We Love Colors leggings to fit in the "comfort zone?"
Yes, most definitely. As mentioned earlier, I'm not a big fan of leggings (unless they can pass for a pair of pants, the fabric is thick and/or features some sort of special accents). These We Love Colors Tie Dye leggings are great.

What is your favorite color to wear? To decorate with?
I'm a fan of colors. Give me any bright-colored piece of clothing and I'm good to go.

Why do you love these legging colors so much?
They are fun, unexpected (for leggings) and quite daring. Sums me up :)

Compared to leggings that you have previously worn, what did you enjoy most about wearing a We Love Colors product (ie: durability, thickness, tag in the back)?
Comfort, durability, thickness, high waist, and the elastic waist does not roll down like other brands do.
