Niqkita's Sock Journal

Two new space dyed tights and four new socklings.
The color above is called falling stars and the one below is peacock…

Peacock is also one of the new socklings and you can see in the image above that they are different peacocks between the tights and the socklings.
And the confetti socklings look little like the confetti otk’s.
But that is all part of the fun of space dyed, they are always a bit different…
for three of the socklings I just layed out variations and took pictures…
(if you really want one of a certain look we can always try to pick that pair for you)
The sandstorm is browns with a bit of golden to it, there is also a purple passion that is purples and nothing but purples, very passionate indeed!
Right now, I’m in love with the peacock, purples, greens & blues, sooo dreamy!!!

For those of us in the northern hemisphere today was the start of spring…
for those of us in the Northwest spring has been here nearly a month, but today, it’s official and to celebrate we have another fresh batch of toe socks ready to go home and warm your toes and balance your feet.
These are from the TOETOE label, previously AllThere toesocks, my personal favorite toesocks EVER! Not that there is anything wrong with the other 20 or so choices we offer, in fact, you might like some of them better, but for me these are perfect! The toes fit each and every one of my toes to a T, no slippage on my baby toes, even after many hours of activity or sleep. One reason they may not be ideal for some of you is that, unlike the Feelmax versions, these have formed heels, not good if you happen to be out of their size range, but it is a generous size range so chances are these will fit (we’ll get some smaller & larger opinions in soon too).
Not only did we get these in 4 fun stripy choices that are nearly knee high (on shorter legs like mine), we got their anklets in black, white & rainbows and a half dozen solid midcalf choices too. If you remember my longtime fav elephant toes, we have those back, now they call them smoke.

I washed each pair last night to fluff them up because they arrive looking pretty flat.
Then I put on each pair to take pictures. The last pair were the leopards and since I liked them the best I kept them on for the rest of the evening, even slept in them. After wearing them for my morning work I tossed all three pairs back in the wash for a little extra fluffing before having my helpers put them on…
So here’s what we each thought:

Small feet owned & run by Xilia, women’s size 6:
Tiger toe socks are very cute, but if you have little kitten toes like mine they are not worth it! It took forever to scrunch the sock over each toe and then kept poofing back out over the tops of my teeny weeny toes. Not only did this look kinda funky, but in a shoe the material was in the way and was getting wedged this way and that so was also not very comfortable.. they ARE really cute though, and I am keeping my pair from the shoot. They are cosy and comfortable enough to wear around the house where it wont bother me that my toes wont stay in place.

Medium feet owned & operated by Niqkita, women’s size 8.5:
They slipped onto my feet nicely. Due to the looser toes I find it easy to get my toes in place, but my pinky toes are small and curl under so they tend to slip out, especially while I’m sleeping. The rest of my toes stay in fine and they stay up just under my knees unless I scrunch them down, which I also think looks cute.

Larger (male) feet managed by Bsti, men’s size 9:
A little tight going onto the toes, but that’s expected with toesocks.
Once in, they snuggled the digits.
They stay up mid-calf just fine, except in long pants which pushed them down. Really warm, soft, and comfortable, moreso I’d say than other toesocks I’ve worn.

I bought this t-shirt from the Red Cross last week and it arrived super fast…
Now it is my favorite shirt, so comfy, and special.
I think we should sell t-shirts, Sock Dreams & Fetishize Me logos with Xilia & my images blazen across them, Yet another project I’ll put on the back burner for now, but I think they’d be hot, or cool, or whatever…
Also so hot they’re cool are the new slouch socks in army green!
and if that isn’t green enough for you…
we’ve got new Green knees with lemony yellow stripes…
Tomorrow, more new stuff!!!

Another flimsy frilly garter belt or a practical inexpensive accessory?
perhaps a little of each?
These are from Leg Avenue and come with a little lace thong.
Just in black for now, we can also get them in white & red if you think we should.
My favorite thing about these is that the clasps are metal so they won’t break the first time you attempt to attach them to something thick, unfortunately the clasps are small and are difficult to attach to anything thick.
Right now (in the shot above) I’m wearing them with the purple pluto EG Smith cotton otk’s. Tricky, but not impossible to clip onto, I think it should be about the same for the M Stripes.
In the image below I’m wearing the E.G. Smith no foot boots in black:

This required fitting the rubber grip (the nipple-like bit) through the knit of the sock before attaching the clasps, this would not work with all socks and would surely do some damage if you wore them like this alot. This would also work with the Pippy Longstockings and the M40s. Size wise, they will slip down the hips of really skinny people but had good stretch up and over 40 inches, not too much over or they will dig in. My opinion is that these will work best with styles that stay up reasonably well on their own on people who are medium to large…

Until recently I’d never heard of MP tights.
Then, a couple of months ago, I got a rash of requests for these mysterious Danish tights and the timing could not have been better because I happened upon a rep in Seattle who handled them. The first thing that struck me when I saw them was their colors. I wanted so badly to get everything they had but a few things prevented me from doing it in good conscience: they are high end, a big investment at a time of year when I really have to watch the budget, heading into spring is not the best time to invest in warm, the rep, helpful as he was, was not terribly knowledgeable, and finally, size options, three of them, with little to no clue how they fit within each range. So I narrowed it down to these three options above:
cotton stripes in antique rose…
a pretty red & pink in small, medium & large.
& superwash wool tights with cotton on the inside…
off white or black in small, medium & large.
Because there are so few and they are so high end I’m going to pass on trying them this time around and am hoping that without the help of personal reviews we can sell these on their reputation alone (and so far it seems to be working).
Don’t worry, I also placed a much larger order from their new fall line and am looking forward to learning more about them, ordering even more of their great styles, and of course, testing some this coming fall!
