Niqkita's Sock Journal

We shot these at my fav antique store here in Portland…
kinda quickly so no one would notice, so they came out a little fuzzy, but I absolutely love the way they look so I added some effects to bring out the mood even more.
The stockings are from Music Legs and are a style I wasn’t initially interested in because when I saw them all I could think of was how they would be a pain to put on with all those big diamonds.
When I realized that there really could be a demand for them and that they come in plenty of colors I decided to give them a shot.
We now have, ready to order, Lycra Diamond Thigh Highs
in black, red, purple, turquoise, lime green, fuscia (that really just looks like neon pink) and white. Here’s a more detailed shot…

They list the size range as 5′- 5′10″ 100-175 lbs, I’m in the middle of the height range and the low end of the weight range and I think they would work best on taller people & should easily fit people taller than 5′10″. They came all the way up to the tops of my legs and those diamonds are so adjustable that I just know they’d go alot further if you let them. The toe is completely enclosed so that isn’t a problem, but the heel isn’t so if you were going to do much walking in shoes wearing these I’d add a pair of booties to protect from blisters (I have a little one for not thinking of this sooner). I wore them with & without tights under and found that I prefered them with, they really stand out over a contrasting color, you won’t get blisters in shoes and there’s the added benefit of hiding any flaws like freckles, stubble or bruises. They don’t need garters, they’ll stay up no matter what you do, but they will need to be hand washed & hung to dry because they’d be a mess if they found their way into a machine.
