The first batch is on their way down to meet the press…
Sock Dreams Press Release
Sock Dreams is a female-owned and run sock shop in Portland Oregon with an amazing and ever growing selection.
After more than five years of selling socks exclusively online Sock Dreams has a strong international base of sockaholic customers who come back time and again to collect the many unique styles made in the US and around the world.
Sock Dreams has gained attention with their private line of Dream Stockings,specialty socks that are longer and wider-fitting than average socks. This line is ever expanding with new styles and colors. There are plans in the future for a walk-in boutique so sock lovers can come and experience ultra sensory sock overload.

They include variations of current styles & one new one, left to right…
Black Not sO Basics~
(Our black O Basics with pretty ribbons on top)
M Squared knee highs
and lilac O Chevrons Extra Long
none are currently available on the site but we will be offering this exact box to our customers after we get them all ready so that you can treat your toes like stars.
We’ll get pictures of how they all look on soon too ~:)
…and in case you’re wondering, the case is a train case from Two Five Inc
…I just got it this week, it’s fabulous!!!

Here is a very incomplete list of things I love:
Chocolate waiting on my car seat when I leave work
Pretty pink satin gloves that stretch & feel lovely
pretty striped thigh highs socks that only stay up til I move real fast
comfy slouch socks that reach my knees scrunched to my calves
crinoline skirts in new colors
(sadly, the new black ones were shorted on our last order)
Happy Valentine’s day!!!

Comfortable temperatures have been blown away by chilly winds here in the Northwest so it is a perfect time for me to test out the MP cotton lined wool tights. They are as soft as can be on the inside, no itch from the wool at all thanks to the cotton lining and the stretch is as good as their other tights. I’m wearing a small pair and there is plenty of give going in any direction so it wouldn’t matter if I had bigger feet or hips, both or anything between, well worth the $45 dollars in my opinion…
I wore a light dress yesterday to be sure and get a good testing while I ran around town on errands. I did add a pair of O Chevrons in natural with black details which I thought looked especially nice over the black tights. But even when I took the socks off and sat in the backyard with the dogs late in the day my legs were warm enough to be comfortable…

Today I’m going to wear the tights to work with another pair of socks then I’ll wash them on gentle and wear them some more because the temperatures are going to keep dropping this week…

Yet another black over the knee option, this one from Foot Traffic…
acrylic, medium thickness, just about 4-5 inches above my knees at best
They are just like the rainbow OTKs with more stretch than the argyles to fit up to about 16 inches around comfortably while saying up well.
They come in black and white…

The petticoat is our latest from Leg Avenue…
also our shortest and silly me only ordered 6 and added them to the site before reordering so we might run out for a day til the new order arrives ~assuming they are still in stock, a couple of other newly added items are currently out like those super cute net stockings with ribbons ~:( If they are in stock I also have them coming in white, pink & red. It’s not super scratchy but I haven’t washed it yet, I’m thinking it could handle the handwash cycle in my front-loading washer, but I might be wrong about that, I’ll follow up on that in the comments here on another day.
This is the shortest of the crinolines and has lovely venise lace, it’s totally short & totally see through, so wear it accordingly ~;)

To be honest, these are thinner than the usual Sock Dreams styles that I am used to, but it’s still cold here and I’m sure I’ll be greatful for that thin-ness come spring.
They are like dress socks, but with a rebellious flair that the boss never needs to know about. They are quite comfortable, fit my 9’s nicely and would fit quite a few larger sizes as well. They stay up okay, the real test will be when I wear them with shorts in warmer weather. They’re called men’s socks, but as most know, I consider a good number of the Sock Dreams styles gender-neutral so these would look just as smashing on the female stem.
These were a bit thicker, but not much…

…and they have a 13 hidden on their heels

They will go all the way up to the knee, but I like them about mid-calf.
Good, quality socks they are, something I’d buy even if I wasn’t in the sock biz.
(By the way, thank you very much Shelleopard for the boots seen in the second pic!)
