Sheery in pink Wolford Neon and OW Collection Dress

It is probably no surprise or really even a secret that I’ve always been drawn to the color fuscia. It’s bright, sexy, feminine and something I never dare to wear as me in male-mode. It’s also no secret that I’ve pushed for Wolford to bring back that gorgeous shade for their Neon 40 tights. That was nearly TEN YEARS AGO and guess what? They did bring it back for sale but I never caught on to it until way too late. Damn you Wolford!

However, there are those savvy sellers on eBay that know rare shades of Neon 40 can become collectors items. Then they stock up and sell these at collector item prices for crossdressers, errr, people like me. So of course I shelled out more than I should have for a pair (actually TWO pairs, you know, just in case the other pair rips). Anyway I tell the story about that purchase in a previous post.

Slipping into those brand new fuscia Wolford Neon 40 tights was like a dream come true and, WOW, they really are bright! The only thing, though, was that I didn’t have anything to go with bright fuscia tights. No lingerie, bodysuits, dresses, ok well a matching lipstick shade I do have but nothing else. So then I thought why not just celebrate my Wolford Neon win by getting a lovely dress and heels matching in the same color if at all possible.

That it was!

Over the course of the next month or so, I kept my eye out for anything that caught it. First I randomly stumbled on a pair of heels I immediately fell in love with… and even in that perfect shade of fuscia I was after. These 14cm (5.5 in) stilettos are from Le Silla and were even more stunning when I took them out of their box and slipped (and stumbled) into them. They are TOO TALL as well. Definitely the tallest pair in my arsenal of stilettos.

And, not to mention, they perfectly matched the shade of fuscia on the Neon 40 tights. Now we’re getting somewhere!
