Finding Hosiery to 'Control-Top' the Dollar

If  you have read my personal blog, you may have come across the post about my quest to find high-quality and fashionable pantyhose (for women of color - namely me) that didn't break the bank, Hanes Solutions - Transparent Sheer. I have been comparing every other brand since finding this brand, and have yet to find one that can top both it's cost and quality. I have only been able to find it in Target stores, who may be an exclusive retailer of the brand. When initially finding Transparent Sheer last year, I enjoyed paying a little over $5 per pair. However, while shopping for more this weekend, I noticed that the price has gone up...WAY up; now ranging $7 - $8! I'm sure this is due to the sales success of  a higher-end brand with a cuter name. Unfortunately, For 'whatever reason' I am not able to easily find them online (side eye), as I am with other Hanes hosiery (except through ebay) - double side eye. So, my search to find reasonably-priced, quality hosiery for women of color continues...stay tuned.

The back-story: An excerpt from Considering All Things:

...While searching for that perfect pair of pantyhose, I stumble across a very cute cardigan that would go perfectly with my 'little black [but corporate] dress' (every girl's gotta have one). "This must be a good sign" I thought. I headed to the hosiery department and looked at the usual brand, only to find that they didn't have my shade of 'nude'. Shocker, right? By now, I'm approaching the point of complete frustration, until I go to the other aisle and see a shade of brown that could not be any more perfect. Ladies (or maybe the unusual type of guy that would buy hosiery for a woman in his life-if you exist, call me): I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT MATCH!!! If you ever want to know what brand to get, may I please suggest Hanes Solutions - Transparent Sheer. This match (Gentle Brown) was so perfect that the girls at work didn't know I was wearing pantyhose. And they are by far, the most comfortable pair I have ever worn (so soft). I had the ladies doing the touch test on my legs. They feel like they won't be running too! But if they do, you'll know by tomorrow - promise...Today's got to be a good day, considering all things...
