| jacket & shoes~Marshall's blouse~Century 21 jeans~ |
In order to show my sandal/sock combo off, I chose these capri style jeans. Not knowing how the weather would go, I dressed in layers; long denim color tee, my fave summer silk blouse and a boiled wool swing jacket.
The socks? Fish net knee highs! From the recommendations on my last sock/sandal post, most of you wanted to see a darker sock. I tried out three: first one too light, second one too dark, and third one was just right. (maybe just a little too dark)
The jacket is a tough one to wear--its a swing coat and it can make me look a little too big on top~if I want to be critical.
I am going to look for some other socks.....Socks and Sandals---Make it stop?
I really love the top! I think the jacket works great with it. I know what you mean about trying on 3 different jackets with something. Sometimes decisions are so hard to make! LOL I'm going to pop you an email soon....just feel like chit chatting. ~Serene
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you go with not only a darker sock, but one that was sheerer. The notion of an almost wooly sock with summer shoes is hard for me to wrap myself around. Yes, I know they make polarfleece socks for wearing with Tevas/Birks, but then we aren't talking about womanly fashion.
ReplyDeleteTip for fishnets w/open toes. I put a pair of nude knee-highs under them. Then your toes can't poke through the netty part.
I am a huge fan of these swing jackets and I like how you've paired it with the silk blouse. I think I've categorized socks and sandals with leopard prints and much I'm trying to break a few of mental boundaries, I doubt that is one combination I'll try.
ReplyDeleteThanks Serene and look forward to chatting!
ReplyDeleteRose, I do the nylons underneath also--for the cold mainly. I like the mash-up, break the rules type thing; I'm an old hippie at heart...
Terri~lol on the trend thing--its fun for me--like to push those boundaries....
nay to the cotton/wool ones, but a big yea to any kind of nylon ones works with sandals. i grew up in the '70s and always liked the look of hose with sandals. it was lovely then and it still is.
