Swirls & checkers
These Swirl socks are “high end” and I was reluctant to order them
but how could I resist such pretty colors & patterns?
They had funny names that I didn’t use, the two blues were turquoise & atoll, neither of those is as bad as the green being vanilla. At least that is what I think they were, none of the labels actually list their color so even we would be confused because really, vanilla & atoll??? even funnier, to me, is that the black was actually listed as black which really makes no sense at all. So green, light blue, dark blue & black it is, at least we’ll send you the correct pair now when you order some ~;)
…and why should you order $20 anklets? because they are worth it if you have the budget for them, think of them as an investment, gorgeous socks to go with your best shoes. Made in Italy for the very stylish Jonathon Aston of London. The checkered cuffs look equally nice up or down, the toe seams match the second color in the checkers, they have a satiny sheen and so far have tested to be quite durable despite their sleek sexy appearance. As usual, larger feet may find the heels fall short, but the fit is still great!

Rebeckah, I ended up ordering a pair of smaller footed Super Stripes – you asked me to let you know how they fit. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised – they fit my tiny size 5 feet without being loose (but they weren’t super snug like if you put small socks on big feet?), so a tick from me and I will order more :) I tried on a friend’s Super Stripes and they were definitely too big for me.

I just got these in black and they are lovely. They are quite possibly the most expensive socks I own since I bought new dansko mary janes to go with them.

ooo, thanks for letting me know Elissa. Were they baggy up the legs? Like enough to look good instead of just *big* looking? Do you know what I mean? I have really thin thighs & was concerned they’d be just baggy, but not big *enough* to look neat… like how the great whites fold.?

Those are quite pretty… If I bought them though I’d still end up wearing them daily and wear holes in the heels.
