Still need to be convinced to pull a pair of socks out of your top drawer this summer? Think about these facts: socks are super cheap,cheap Baltimore Orioles Hats, surprisingly versatile,Wholesale Baltimore Orioles Hats, can add color and interest to any outfit, and umm….Tavi’s wearing them.
Here, I imitated Alexa Chung’s school girl look from the link above. Classics (shirt, bag, flats, pearls) are updated with a fun polka-dot skirt and ruffle-hemmed ankle socks. Think this look isn’t your style? Don’t shy away from summer socks just because you are more rock and roll than ladylike prep. Taylor Momsen rocks sheer knee-highs with total tough-girl edge. No matter what your style, you can work a pair of socks–you just have to experiment a little.
