In the second half we meet Julie Thompson a resident of Toronto Ontario Canada is a mother of two. During the day she is a full time police officer, and at night she works full time on her business, Skights.
Skights came about shortly after she returned from maternity leave with her second son. Julie thought someone should makes tights for little boys, and since there was nothing she could find in the market she created her own product.
In January of 2013 they launched their premiere product, Lil' tights by Skights, made for boys but girls still allowed!!
The item is created with a stay put design, so the tights can be worn comfortably underneath any piece of clothing or wore on their own. The tights are padded at the knee, perfect for little crawlers. Plus they are perfect for that toddler who refuses to keep their blankets on at night.
Fun, affordable but most of all practical Lil' tights by Skights, dress for sock-cess!!!! Visit www.skights.com for more information.
