colored tights

Brightly colored tights are my personal must-haves for Fall. My wardrobe is fairly neutral - mostly blacks, greys and creams - so colored tights are a great way to add an interesting twist to an otherwise plain outfit. I recently bought a pair of copper-colored tights at Target for only $5.99. I was really surprised at how wonderfully they fit. The waist isn't uncomfortably tight and doesn't reach up to my armpits like a lot of tights tend to do. I definitely plan on going back for more colors. Though the ladies above pull off the color quite well, I'm personally a bit wary of bright blue. Maybe because of the Superman connotations? I'm thinking of getting a pair in ruby red and eggplant.

If you don't have a Target nearby or are looking for a wider selection of colors, here are a few online shops you might want to check out:

what's the hold up?

I've been in the process of moving and haven't had access to the internet for the past couple of weeks, which explains the absence of any new additions to Ninja Vintage. Once I get settled I'll be adding dozens (yes, dozens!) of new things to the site, including dresses, sweaters, shirts and scarves. I'm very excited for this update, I hope you will be too! Thanks for all your patience.

I love makool

I recently discovered makool clothing by way of cut+paste, and I am completely and utterly smitten. In addition to their lovely screen-printed clothing (the faux cross-stitch alphabet print is so clever), makool also carries cute fabric birds (each with its own distinct personality) and a collection of whimsical circus-inspired bags. It's difficult to decide on my favorites because I literally love everything on the site, but here are a few notable pieces:
