Socks with Sandals – Would You Rock it?

to besock thy foot or not to besock thy foot… that is today’s sartorial conundrum.

What do you think, friend? Is the socks & sandals trend school girl cute or get the feck oot?

it’s a debate as old as time itself.

… okay maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

It’s actually a debate that’s as old as Fall of 2009ish within the fashion community (give or take a few seasons – I do live in Canada and suck at fashion, after all).

For me, it’s a debate as old as an 8th Grade field trip to Niagara falls when I stood my proud germaphobic ground and refused to take off daddy’s white tube socks – even after the other girls told me I looked like a dork.

Apparently, wearing knee-high mansocks with Nike slides, demin minishorts and an oversized Gap sweatshirt was not looked upon favourably by the 12-year-old fashionistas of Chatham. Little did those betches know, I was just being fashion forward.

Obviously, I’m all for this look. I’m a die-hard lifetime sock fanatic (I hate bare feet) and I’m all about the lolita chic aesthetic.

I’ve been experimenting with this trend a bit this year, pairing dainty nylons with pumps and mary-janes when appropriate – but I’ve yet to go all out and strap someopen-toed espadrilles over a pair of socks. yet.

I think I may just try it out this weekend… I’ve got the perfect pair of Michael Kors Nikis, I just need the right sockies to wear them with! I wonder if my mom kept these puppies?

SHORTBANGS FTW!
