fishnets...skanky or sassy?
So...I have a formal dinner to go to. I have a black cocktail dress and peep toe patent heels. I also am PASTY ASS WHITE. I do not do so well w/any fake tanning sutff, and fake-n-baken is not an option. So my question becomes do I own the Frosty the Snowman look, or try to switch it up a bit.
here is what the dress/shoes resemble...sorry it is not a link, it would not let me. OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

Re: fishnets...skanky or sassy?
I love your dress and the shoes! But I think fishnets are seriously a no-go for something formal. (or anytime except Halloween, really, but that might be just me!)
I just rock my whiteness. I have used that lotion that adds a tan super-gradually before, it has a nice bit of sparkle. Because I am not to be trusted with real self-tanner.

Cute dress and shoes...I would rock the whiteness! Add red fingers and toes and a rose in your hair!
I do think fishnets can sometimes be pulled off but I don't know if I'd do them with that dress...
The fishnets were not even a thought, until I started googling
Probably should just stay with my own boring first instinct. PS...the nails are french manicured and the toes are a shimmery light silver. Was going to do red, but got a gel manicure and wanted something that I would not get sick of in a week. Maybe I should have done red toes though...
As a fellow pasty pale chick, I'd just embrace the whiteness. However, if you really want to have something covering your legs, what about a plum-colored pair of tights?
Something I've been seeing in a few fashion blogs is layering a textured tight (like fishnets, but usually something with a more subtle pattern) over a colored tight. Not sure if it would work in this situation (unless you went with dark stockings as the under color - but I think that would be too much head-to-toe black). Just something to consider though!
what about pattern nylons?

Sooby-
Did you do an open/closed toe shoe?My shoes are peep toe and that is what is throwing me for a loop.
So I was totally going to answer FISHNETS all the way, but then I saw your dress and I think fishnets would make it more costume-y looking. I would do bare legs or black tights with this dress. If you had a more fitted/plain bottom of the dress I would say do a pattern tights or small fishnets
