Starting with Fall 09 many designers started showing ankle socks with dressy shoes or oxfords and skirts or dresses.

Verrier Fall 09
Andy & Debb Fall 09
The trend continued this Spring and Forever21 showcased the bobbysox look heavily in their new Forever21 Twist collection.

Now I had resisted slightly at first considering myself way to old to sport such a look, but when I had found that pumpkin sweater at the thrift store I dipped my toes in and tried it. I really loved the vintage vibe it gave off.
You may remember this from Fall. I only had the nerve to wear the socks with shoes and skirt outfit once.
Now though, I have totally succumbed to the charm of socks and shoes. I have worn the combo three times this week!
Nebbie the kitty was in a feisty mood after seeing my shiny red shoes with socks.
I layered a red sweater over my dress as it is still quite chilly out. Another cute pair of red shoes.
This look made me feel like a vintage pin-up model. I wore it to go to the bank and pay bills around town. That chore was a little less painful.
Not once has anyone given me weird looks. In fact I have been complimented on how cute I look.
So while this trend is in style I shall rock it as hard as I can!

Great! I love wearing ankle socks with skirts. It is a great look and it will be really big this spring. I especially like the red shoes- would be cute with some white fold-down anklets, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I plan on getting some white anklets soon. I didn't have any! I will shop the children's section. The prices are better there :)
ReplyDeleteCute, you are workin' those socks and shoes! I like how you picked up your outfit colors in the sock shoe combos too :)
ReplyDeleteLove all these looks, your socks are darling! And I love that you have so many red shoes!
ReplyDeleteRed shoes are a weakness for me, I think I have at least 6 pairs!
ReplyDeleteCute socks, I love thin anklets. Hope we get to see your white anklets, too, soon. Love light pastels, too, especially with little fold-down cuffs. Nordstrom has some precious little anklets in their girls dept (Nordstrom Organic Cotton Blend Socks with Turn Back Cuffs) that should fit up to a 10 shoe. Anklets look perfect with your legs and shoes. Like them with dressy flats, too. Fun clothes.
