Aimee, Target has a house brand, the one that begins with an M, that has brown opaque tights. or at least they did a few weeks ago. And Macy's had some too, but those cost more.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but whenever I open a magazine I can usually point to exactly where photos have been retouched.
They're all retouched. Except maybe Halle Berry. Otherwise, it's fantasyland perfection.
As for the economists, my gut feeling is that economics, as a field of study, is similar to where psychology was before they had tools to measure things like neurotransmitters and brain activity. It's a bunch of competing theories which are - in essence - broad complex metaphors bolstered in part by data. (Which may be an apt description of any science, I suppose. But I'm not saying either/or but rather place on the spectrum from mostly theory to mostly scientific fact.) I don't think it has the rigor of something like aeronautic engineering. Everybody understands the principles involved in getting a plane in the air, and they can all build planes that fly. Not everybody can agree on the principles which make an economy function. Not yet anyway. Supply and demand, though? Still a useful concept!

I think I would say that compared to some others, economics is perhaps especially prone to having complexities reduced to soundbites with an eye to supporting particular agendas. But "fully understand" is a pretty high bar to set for any discipline.

Of if you are willing to be really indulgent and you want tights that are both cottony, and comfortable and will last season after season these the best ones I've ever had.

Yes, I bought dark brown tights at Target earlier this Fall. (Merona?) I also bought some fun "tweeded" gray tights there.

Actual adult sized tights are a pain in the ass to find, even here in Chicago. I really don't get it.
I did find some last year at Urban Outfitters, Aimee, if Target doesn't pan out.
