I love patterned/ coloured tights to brighten up an outfit but find the variety available on the highstreet a bit lacking, hence why I have an occasional binge online - so as long as I buy a few pairs in one go to get the free shipping, the price works out much the same (I was a bit surprised that 4 pairs turn up in a cardboard box when one of those floppy packing bags would do just as well and fit through the letter box, but as I hadn't paid the P&P I really didn't mind). Pleased with the tights themselves (website images had depicted them well enough and the sizing was appropriate) and they arrived in good time :)
