Same socks, different looks

Since I haven’t ordered any new socks for a while (a month) I thought I’d make a post telling about some of my older socks. This is the first time I try to post on my own. Before I have e-mailed my reviews to Niqkita and she posted them. But now I’m on my own, so if it looks like crap it’s all my fault :)

These are SuperStripes in navy and lime. I know they look black, but they really are a very dark navy. For me, who wear a lot of navy (it’s one of the colours I look best in) the difference of course is crucial ;) They match a lot of my skirts and tops.

This is how I dress for work. The SuperStripes won’t stay up on me unless I use sock garters or a garter belt, so I’m using a garter belt here to keep the socks stretched and tight on the legs.

For slouching at home, or anywhere else than at work, I love wearing them without garters. They never fall below my knees and I love the relaxed, careless look you get with slouched socks. I have pretty sturdy legs but these are big enough to give lots of folds around the ankles and legs. The last picture is taken an hour ago or so. It had been raining most of the day today, but in the evening it begun to clear up and I took a walk.

I have worn these quite alot and they have been machine-washed several times, but they still are as bright as they were when I just got them.

    I agree – the white knees are tempting. It’s almost winter so I might put them off until Spring since they feel more Springish :)

    I love that last shot, with the sky reflected in the puddle :) And I love that you say you have “sturdy” legs–I’m going to start using that! I’m rather sturdy myself ;)
