When in Rome....wear SOCKS!

Welcome to my blog, my name is Olga and after a recent fashion business venture (A-Glo' Boutique) and my love for fashion I have decided to start my own fashion blog. I want to say thank you for taking the time to read my blog posts. You will uncover that my posts are based on different and unique fashion discoveries of mine. Being new to business (fashion), I am learning a lot and all the research is exciting. Sooo... I've decided to share the finds, likes and dislikes with friends and readers as I embark on this journey. Hope you enjoy!

When in Rome....wear SOCKS!

I have been noticing this little 'trend' among some celebrities and in fashion ads. It appears that ankle socks with heels are  making a comeback or a debut. At first glance  I couldn't help but think, "bedroom foreplay," but, then after some more careful consideration I started to warm up to the look.

There are an infinite amount of styles and colors available to accessorize any outfit. From ruffles to lace to corset style laces! White tends to be the most popular "color." Though I am keeping an eye out for a pair of black lace ones with ruffles :)

Here you see Rihanna looking fabulous in her simple white ankle socks. Not to mention I am in love with that dress!  

Here are some pros and cons I found with this new fad:

Pros:

Great Spring accessory! Seattle in Spring, where nylons tend to be a little out of session and bare legs are little to early to be in season, a pair of socks could be just the thing to show some leg, a mini skirt and heels!

When in Rome...be different! Take a little risk. After countless conversations with friends of how un-fashion forward Seattleites tend to be. Its great to bring a little attitude and creativity to spice up your style.

Inexpensive! They are cheap ladies! You can find a pair to fit your style anywhere between $5-15!

I decided to try a pair of my own after I found these really adorable and versatile white lace and lace up socks that could even be worn with jeans/pants for only $10!

You can find them sold by A-Glo' Boutique. Just ask me for details and how you can have a pair of your own!

Cons:

Only When in Rome! They are not appropriate for an office or formal work environment. I find this look to be more of a fun out on the town or a day of shopping with girlfriends.

Confidence is Key! As I have always lived with the notion that if you act like its great, people will think its great! In my opinion this is NOT a subtle look. Some people will probably think, "Wow she has some balls to pull that off!" So get some fashion balls!

When in Rome...don't wear white after labor day? Because white seems to be the popular 'color' it is easy to get them dirty! And if you live in Seattle, rain can stain! There will be nothing cute about a big smudge on your white fashion socks. So if you are uncertain of the weather save your pearly whites for another day!

On the contrary: Because they are affordable, grab a couple pairs, one being in a darker color if you just cant wait to strut your stuff!   

Overall I am fan. I think they are cute, fun and sexy! I am huge on accessories and these will definitely be making an appearance in my wardrobe.

If you like the idea, but are not ready to take the risk just yet...try knee high socks.

As you can see from this ad they look great (in my opinion), will keep you warm on those cooler days, more of a practical "color" (black) and not as visually aggressive:)

I would love to know what you guys think? Love it or hate it?

Would you sport some ankle socks? If you have a pair would love to hear your story!

Thanks for stopping by!
