i am soliciting fashion opinions from the coquettes here. i have the "function" this weekend, and i am going to be wearing a short black cocktail dress, i want to know whether to wear natural colored hose or sheer black hose. What do you think? i prefer opaque black, but it is too hot for that.

I forgot about the thigh highs. Good idea - definitely more comfortable than hose with the kind of weather we're having.
