Two toe socks…

a few days ago we sold the last pair of these in black & white. Foot Traffic is all out & won’t have more til fall. We have some that are close here, they aren’t full stripes, just top stripes (we’ll get the stripes next time, later in June). I needed to get some better pictures up, since I only had taken pix of the black & whites to begin with so first I tried on the rainbows…

pretty! and as you can see they fit right into cute shoes just as if I were wearing “normal socks” but strangely they are a little less comfy than the red & whites which are really soft & just a little thicker…
close toes

why is it strange? because they are both made by Foot Traffic with the same fibers. Next time you see those rainbows I’ll have cut the tips of the toes off & painted my nails….
I’m dreaming of playing toesies in my toesocks…

Water Stripes

Soon we’ll be heading into full-fledged summer, so get a jump on cool feet now with the water stripes!!!

These nifty little anklets feature horizontal stripes with sheer parts in between. They’re nice and stretchy, and fit my size 12s just fine. They fit snugly, so that the see-through parts look right (no bagginess here), but they have lots of yummy stretch. I found them extremely comfortable and extremely nifty, and now they’re extremely versatile, in white, black, or bordeaux!

Extreme!!! :)

Pot Holes

Well, they were brought in due to my request, so I sort of have an obligation to model them!!! ;) Plus, they freakin’ rock, so I wanted to anyway. :D

The new Lycra Large Hole Tights, also known as Pothole Tights, are amazing! They’re black and look almost like crochet, and have large holes that create a very stunning effect from far away, and a more intricate look up close! Definitely different from your same-old fishnet (as if fishnet ever really got boring!), these would look great with miniskirts, heels, hot shorts, and boots!

They also feature smaller patterns at the toes to keep your toes in and not strangle or pinch like some of the larger fishnets can do, and the pattern is attractive enough that you could wear these with open-toed shoes!

As far as size range, I’d have to give these an A+! Their label says one size: 90-160 lbs, and I’ll agree, but add that these will work for anyone from about 5′3″-6′3″!!! Their unique stretchiness comes from the fact that the holes are large enough to afford more room; just like fencenets will usually stretch further than smaller fishnet patterns, these can accomodate larger legs from top to bottom!

Also, there’s no icky, ugly, thick waistband, so these won’t noticeably pinch you in, AND they’re roomier in the waist than most anyway, so you can fold them down onto your hips to hide them if you’re wearing something a little more low-rise than the tights!

Overall, these new guys get a rave review!!! (just watch out for strange patterns on your legs after long periods of sitting!!!) :)

About last night…

I’m still wearing my new arm warmers and realized something (after I posted last night) that was so obvious I feel silly for not thinking of it sooner. If I fold the elastic parts over they are alot more comfortable, especially for sleeping, I didn’t take them off in the night this time. Another thing that was bugging me last night was the price so I double checked this morning and it’s correct, $8. I know this seems odd if you consider that the M stockings & stripes are also $8 and have alot more to them, perhaps it’s because I buy those directly from the makers so there’s no middle man mark up. These are the kinds of things that keep me awake at night sometimes…

New stuff, now & for the future

from the same supplier as yesterdays new leg warmers, we have these funky little arm warmers. They are a nice soft knit acrylic, made in the USA. Arm warmers really came into fashion this year, but they are an essential for people who get achey joints in their wrists (like me) so it’s nice to have choices. My only complaint about these is the elastic around the hands is a tad tight, I wore them to sleep the first night and yanked them right off sometime early in the morning. During the day they feel fine though and I’ve been wearing mine for several days now. One thing I like is how easy it is to slip my hands out to wash them without having to take the whole arm warmer off (like you have to do with the fingered kind). They also scrunch quite well…

(btw, the socks I’m wearing in these pix are the 45+ inch white longsocks)
So, did those new socks show up today?
Yes they did! they didn’t look much different at first, then I put one on and WoW!!! nice & comfy, they should fit about 25/26 inch thighs, maybe even larger, I’ll need to have one of my larger friends try them to be sure, but I’m already sure I’ll be ordering these in lots of colors.
Look for the first batch to start arriving in a couple of weeks (I can’t bring them all in at once you know). They aren’t as thick as the boot socks, but they are close ~:)
