Knee socks and thigh-high socks are hot for this fall. I've made that abundantly clear. But what I haven't written about is funky, colorful socks, the ones that are good with color-blocked outfits and can make you look cool in a kooky sort of way. Susie Bubble has been experimenting with Prada socks and layering different lengths of colorful tights over one another, and I've been itching to try the trend. Prada socks aren't really in my reach, and I'm a bit too lazy and cheap to buy a bunch of tights only to cut them up. But check out these socks:
Great, right? The colorful dots are actually knee pads, and the socks are thigh-high. I love'em. You can also buy them striped. I think these will look so fun and unique with a black dress or a colorful dress and colorful tights. The $18 price tag is more than I would normally spend on socks, but I'm thinking they might be worth it. The purple and orange ones are the only ones available, but I don't mind 'cause they're my favorites. What do you think? Would you wear them?

Knee Sock Dreams
This girl has convinced me that I need a similar pair of grey socks for this fall, to be worn with a black sweaterdress and flats. These will do nicely for cold days, I think, and these will be comfortable on the warmer ones.
The Free People catalogue (which includes about 500 items I adore above all else but could never afford) has convinced me of my need for these exact socks, as well as the fact that they must be worn over simillar tights with my motorcycle boots. Ideally I'd wear 'em with flat granny or combat boots, but if I'm going to be buying $24 socks on a regular basis, new boots are out of the cards.
The adorableness of this Free People picture wasn't lost on me either. Don't the socks and moccasins look cute/cozy? Free People is tempting me for sure, especially with this gloriously beautiful rustic wool coat.
Apparently knee/above-knee socks are on the menu for me this fall. I'm really feeling the fall clothes this year. I'm sick of summer...bring on the colder weather!
