Outdoor Hose Report - Warmnut Hosed

It was one of the similar sun-turn-rain day, where the sun was extremely hot before lunchtime, and the weather dips to the other end of the pendulum, with a heavy downpour that lasted for an hour or so.
Having this being an off day from work, I decided to do an offskin shade hosewalk since it has been awhile since I have a chance to go out in the earlier hours of the daylight in such shades.  Chose Propeds Sheer Support, Nutmeg shade to go with my favourite, slimcut grey berms, doublefolded and matched with my Wtwo grey boat shoes.  Love these shoes as their lowprofile style extends the exposure of those hose-wrapped legs.
Took a walk to a bus stop where the bus journey's much shorter to the nearby, more bustling town but detoured back for a quick meal as it was late in the afternoon and I had not ate at the regular hours.  The sunlight had began to creep over the passing grey clouds, hence the shade of the Nutmeg toned legs are moving from a grey-purplish hue to something of a warm grey with a pale hint of purple, which flatters the legs much more than Smoky Pearl shade.
Had my meal at a sandwich bar, which became crowded with patrons after I was halfway into my meal; no special notice was spotted throughout my walk from home to this detour.  Done with my meal, took the crowded escalator up and then the route back to that "express route" bus stop, mandatorily stopping at traffic light junctions, but I decided to put off any mental concerns of whether anyone will look at my hosed legs.
Waited about 8mins, took the bus ride, up on the upper deck seat (it was unusually crowded for a midafternoon) and chucked myself into the window edge of a loosely occupied aisle seat.  The bus journey was pretty smooth and soon, I reached my destination.  The exit area which was near the staircase, was a "hot sight" area, but I couldn't really be bothered whether those women at the priority seats, or those near the door will look.
Took a slow walk to the traffic junction, crossed the road, with offskin shaded legs in full view, but from my radar no exceptional glances or stares.  I took awhile to locate the library as it was located at the edge of the town centre.  This required me to walk past crowded places like coffeeshops, retail shops and pedestrian walkways.  Eventually, I found the place and planted myself in a reading room seat to do some stuff on my tablet.  Everyone in the room was engrossed reading newsprints, hence no one noticed my hosed legs.  Moreover, the warm light (unchanged in this town's library) is still of the warm temperature shade, hence my legs' hosed shade could not been seen obviously.
When I was done, I took the circumferencing walkway back to the bus stop which would bring me home.  Past many stores, pedestrians and past a grey hosed OL, who too, was oblivious of my hosed legs despite it becoming more obvious in the falling sunlight.
Once again, took the upper deck, sat beside a schoolgirl who was completely unaware despite the white light brightly lighting up the bus interior and showing my nylon-clad legs.  Reached home shortly, walked through estates while noticing the nutmeg shade becoming warm, past another OL in Nude shade, also oblivous to my leg shade, and into the lift with lady who was engrossed with her smartphone.

Outdoor Hose Report - Paling it Down

One of the quiet evenings where I decided to talk a hose walk down to the nearby town since I'm done with what's needed for the day.


Had dinner, freshed up and took a glance through my hosiery inventory.  Since Astigu 強 wasn't worn often, I decided that it'll be this pair tonight.  Slipped into Color 152 of this make, complete with grey-trimmed white muscle tee, pale blue linen berms double rolled, and Flips Bare Pin Stripe Denim Blue boat shoes.  The shade looked pretty alright in the neutral white light so here it goes.

Took the lift down and then a walk to the bus stop that brings me to the more bustling town centre which is about 30mins bus ride from hometown.  As the bus interior was also brightly lit in neutral white light, the hosed legs appear more prominent, however, I didn't let it bother me and went to upper deck.  Not many passengers in this direction as everyone was on their way back via the opposite direction.

Walked through several stores in the mall, window shopping, and also took a stroll to the shops lined in the "heartland" areas.  Saw what I needed to find, occasionally glancing at my hosed legs which this shade simply goes well.  No doubt it's a little more to Nude shade, the overall color effect is still far better than the pallid appearance given by Nude shade.

After I was done with the hose walk, I headed to the "advance" bus stop to ensure guaranteed seating i the bus as it was away from town centre.  As the bus stop was less crowded, I decided to snap some shots of my hose legs.  While there are passing pedestrians, none of them were bothered at what I was doing, hence I managed to snap some till I was quite satisfied with what I saw.

A short journey back after boarding the well-lit bus, passing commuters and getting to where I wanted to seat.  No one bothered to the best of my observation about the less "natural" skintone shade of my hosed legs this evening.

Soon I reached the alighting point, took the brave walk down and ignoring if standing commuters will look at my hosed legs from behind.  A short walk and soon I was home James.

Hosed Mission successful.
