Sock it to me!




Perhaps I am a fashion prophet...more likely just  a lucky guess!! It was around 2 years ago, maybe more, that I first told my sister-in-law and now business partner, about my thing for socks with heels. Her horrified look quickly confirmed that I was alone in my obsession. But I was convinced! I had witnessed the first inklings of this trend whilst living in Japan. Those Harajuku girls...yes they really do got some wicked style. I had also seen it emerging in a few runway shows...Burberry Prorsum SS 08 deserves a notable mention. Didn't take much convincing me...loved it on the spot. 

My first foray into sock vs heel came with the purchase of some black and grey argyles. More disapproving looks from the SIL. Anyhoo, fast forward to now...THE SEASON OF THE SOCK!!! 
Everywhere you turn and you will run into it...team a wool blend with your ankle boots, some bobby whites with your wedges or some beige scrunchies with your courts or strappies...too cute. And what better way to revive your summer sandals during the colder months. Adore! So, enjoy these few snippets of great ways to work this trend...Oh...and, just quietly...there are a certain pair of PRADA cork wedges at Vintage Doll right at this very minute that are just screaming for a cute pair of socks to spend the day with!!!
