Sheer, Sporty, Lacy or Plain? Calling all Lolita's.

...Whichever you choose, knee-high and thigh-high socks are it.

From Alex Wang's s/s 2010 runway to East Village streets, tall socks are coming out of the woodwork and hotter than ever. Not only are they adorable, but they're also functional when bought in a thick knit and worn for warmth.

Knee-highs have a classic charm stemming from Catholic school-girl outfits, and give off a distinctly Lolita vibe. However, worn modernly knee socks can be grungey rather than only sexy. Whichever way you choose to style them, they're always a rad addition to your outfit.

Good, interesting. I do wonder that you don't do more links. That's one of the things you have available to you writing for the web. Can you think of some creative ways of using them. Also, while I really like your style in this blog, I wonder if you can dig a little deeper with each fashion. Again, how will you separate your blog from all the others out there? B
