Be a good friend, care for her seam line

Back in the day, whenever you would wear tights or stockings with seam lines, girls used to help each other to make sure their seams were straight. So I messed around with the idea and created an image for my theme of the day:

My friend Elsa sent me a link where you can buy amazing tights: www.upfactory.com

I also found out another great website….. but that I’ll keep for later, hehehe

I want to keep you on your toes. Here is some pictures of what you can find.
