We finally got some nice cool rain today
and we have cool new socks to go with it
longer tabis!
I know we'd like them even longer, but...
these are the longest tabis we can get...
midcalf with lightly ribbed arches & calves
This pair is cream and is the only color we could get them in large, they also come in medium as do the grey & brown. There seems to be a large tabi shortage. The large ankle length are getting low. I haven't been able to reorder them for over a month and may not be able to for at least another month, we have plenty in black, but are out of white and red and low on several colors, they offered me a pumpkin orange in large so I added them tonight too. The medium supply is fine though. This fall I'll bring in a fleece version, hopefully by then we can find some really long ones too, but no promises...
speaking of long, did you see these?
cool leaf green, one of my new favs
they came in this week and were added in last night, I really love this shade of green, so cool & refreshing! and just like the rest of the M40s they are soft, stretchy & comfy with that great stay up power. We also got them in yellow & royal blue...

I used to think this combination was a bit much, now I adore it...
lap it up!
pink & red is sumptuous & sexy
...and now we have these deliciously rich M Stripes and a couple more new ones.
I've worn these the last two days, even though it's been a bit warm for long socks, I just wore shorter skirts to compensate ~;)
they totally stayed up, though I had to tug them back up once in awhile to get rid of the slack around my ankles. In a perfect world they wouldn't do that, then again, I kind of like it and we all know there is little sexier than a woman straightening her stockings...

Before I do anything else...
Quack quack quack quack....              Quack quack quack quack....                 Quack quack quack quack....
Thank you E.G.!!!
they definitely caused smiles ~:)
especially when I squeeze the wing to make them quack
Jake doesn't know what to make of them ~;)

Well, it's not fall just yet, but you should get prepared with some Neeley-Ham Dancer Leg Warmers.

Now, I've never been a fan of leg warmers, the very phrase conjuring up images of '80s TV movies and aerobics, but the pics Niqkita did of these made them look so yummy that I just had to try them. I wasn't disappointed. These aren't your typical leg warmers; they're classier! ;) They work great at keeping your legs nice and toasty, but not sweaty, and they look great over heels such as these:



This summer I've kept them tucked into my bag for work, since it's so hot outside that I can't wear long socks, but my workspace can get quite chilly. Whenever I've added all the jackets that I can, I stick these on over my shorter socks, and I stay nice and cozy! I also recommend these for taller ladies and gents! I do not recommend these for larger sizes, as they're pretty snug and may be uncomfortable for those of you with ample calves. Oh, and have you noticed the thinning aspect? These have a little scrunchability around the ankle for movement, and make your ankles look so lithe! :) So, if you always hated leg warmers, but think ballerinas look pretty cute in 'em, try these! I did, and I love 'em!

Comfort & stripes
sheer striped leggings and mix up bootsocks
Has it been a crazy or strange week for you?
I've talked to far too many people this week who've had strange occurences, injury, illness or malaise. When life gets like that I put on my comfiest socks and think happy thoughts. So far so good...
I'm wearing my Ozone sheer striped leggings, they are made of comfy stretchy cotton so even though I'm feeling kind of bloated my tummy is totally comfy and I get a special happy feeling from those neat transparent stripes around my calves.
Of course bootsocks always make me happy, especially this pair because the black & white mix ups are a tad smaller than the rest of the bootsocks fitting nice and snuggly on my size 8.5 feet.
It's supposed to cool off right? I hope so because I have some incredibly pretty new M Stripes & M40s to try on and show off.
My goal is to add the rest of the current new stuff this week so I can spend the next few weeks focusing on getting my bits together for the new site. So after this week no new stuff, next month NEW SITE!!! yeah, I've gotta get my socks together and get on it!

Remember these?
super loose 30 inch socks, cosplay style
the supplier owed us a half dozen from an order nearly a year ago...
They just showed up but I took their page down awhile back & don't want to put it back. So, if you are one of those several people who has written me about them this year now is your chance. Six pairs, only $15 a pair because I wanna get rid of them quick.
Happy Monday toes!

Okay, they're all gone now!!!!!!
Thanks to everyone for helping out with that! ~:)

A year ago yesterday...
lovely layers
the white fishnets with pink lace are gone, but we still have the anklets (I think they are some of our sexiest anklets). We do still have some styles that are like those fishnets, one is an opaque white thigh high with the same lace (we have only one pair left and I'd be ever-so-happy to sell them), there are some similar fishnets that come in plus sizes. The white ones didn't stay up on me and I had to use garters, I think the others are probably the same but have never actually tried them. I know, bad me! but I cannot try everything, can I? maybe, maybe I should be trying harder...
