I was so loving my outfit today, I felt comfy and flowey and layery all day long...ahhh. I feel like all the layers and prints on top balanced my bare legs, as did the socks with my wedge sandals.
One of my mom's favorite phrases when we were growing up and getting into trouble was:
"Hey! Knock it OFF!"
(to be read in your best nasal California accent)
This, of course, meant:
"You girls better quit whatever it is you are doing or someone is gonna be in trouble!"
At the time, the phrase made no sense to me, but now, as I find the phrase boiling up to my own lips, it has all become SO clear. Love you, Mom ;)
This brings me to the topic of the day. I have been seeing an awful lot of socks with sandals and pumps over the last few months and I thought I would take a crack at it. Typically, I'm not one for blindly following trends, but there seems to be a bit of practicality in this one. As we embark into chillier months the socks allow us to keep on rocking our summer footwear, while still keeping the tootsies cozy and warm. Blister protection is a bonus too!
So, to my millions of readers out there (cough, cough) I ask you:
Green dress: thrifted $3
Black and white floral dress: thrifted $4
Scarf Vest: Sweet Charlotte on Etsy
Wedge Sandals: Grandma snagged these babies for me before they went on the shelves at her volunteer thrift store...$3
Socks in question: Target $1
But, I think I'm already sold.

I say you can "rock those socks" all you want, but I'll have to pass. Socks don't work too well with sandals with a split at the toes!
You pull that off quite nicely. I actually work with a couple of late 20 early 30 year old men who wear them like the grandpa in Bermuda. Doesn't work so well for them....Seriously!!
Hm, good try especially on the thriftiness. To balance the look, I suggest something closer to the picture you have posted. Chunkier sox (and probably not black like grandpa's) and a higher and clompier sandal over all. Otherwise it's just a bit nerdish.
