Stocking up on style

In a perfect example of the stars aligning, me having ESP, or some other amazing interplanetary forces connecting, my desire for Swedish Hasbeens as illustrated a few days ago was made all the stronger when I spotted these tights by Prada (pic thanks to Style.com). Whether they know it or not, these tights were practically MADE for wearing with Swedish Hasbeens, don’t you think?
I’m wondering whether I can replicate the fabulousness by stitching a plait made from cord or something on to the front (or even the back?) of some of my tights… seeing as it’s 28 degrees C today it’s not really something that requires immediate investigation but this is definitely a look that I’m planning to trot out this winter.
