Show me your socks!
Here they are, the Vertically Inclined Stockings.
When we launched the new shopping cart just over a week ago I asked you all to give it a test run, offering surprise socks in return with a special request that you tell us your favorite sock from Sock Dreams and your fav color. I used those as guidelines and in a few cases chose something entirely different to send some of you. For those who didn’t get a pair don’t worry, you’ll get a chance soon, but first, I want the rest of you who did get a pair to send us your photos of them, post links to them here in the comments if you like (bonus points for proper use of HTML tags~;) We’ll choose the photos we like best to use on their page, that’s right, this is your opportunity to get your sock shots used here at Sock Dreams, for all the world to see. I’ll also gladly post your photos and reviews here in the journal once we have them on the site to sell. Images should be 72-100 dpi jpgs at 400×600-ish and I’d like to get this done by next week because each of you got one color and there are five to be had! and yes, we can do them in light shades too, but first, the dark shades of winter.

Interesting, excited to see these in other colors soon too!

Ooooo!! I will certainly have some photos for you! =D And I even have someone slightly experienced in photography that can help me out. And I have pretty good html kung fu–I think my website is enough evidence of that, considering it is 100% designed and operated by me. Most likely, I can provide a few photos for you to choose from, considering that my “photographer” would be delighted to take way too many pics of me in these wonderfully sexy socks.
November 20th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
just the socks, most hopefully…
November 20th, 2006 at 10:18 pm
Oh, what a nice concept! I got a pair of these in lovely black, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit! yay!!!
November 21st, 2006 at 12:10 am
It’s about 444 by 600, I hope that’s close enough. If not I can probably fiddle with it some more.
November 21st, 2006 at 12:15 am
Wait, are we only supposed to do pictures if we got a pair of those vertical striped things? I was so excited about my socks that I just jumped right in, lol.
November 21st, 2006 at 1:12 am
I’ll get right on that! Once the boyfriend is awake anyway . . . He did something weird with my camera settings and I’m going to make him fix it. (It’s not nice to set your girlfriends camera to weird low light non focusing modes to try and take pictures of the kitten in the dark . . . lol) Thanks again for the lovely Vertically Inclineds! They’re soooo pretty! I like how the color part is very light, almost like mesh!
November 21st, 2006 at 4:26 am
ooo those look nice, too bad I didn’t have any cash to do an order when you were doing the favourite thing…. s’pose I’ll have to do one in the next couple of weeks though, To buy dad some B Chevrons for giftmas
November 21st, 2006 at 5:51 am
They’re super stretchy — my calves are about 15 1/2″ around and they fit quite well. Similar fit to the O Chevrons, I think. I have to upload a picture too! I got the Kelly Green and Black ones and I LOVE THEM! I wore them yesterday!
November 21st, 2006 at 6:32 am
yes these look beautiful…i was also no dough….needed a vehicle to drive to work so that comes first…oh well such is life :)…and amanda i dont know one way or the other but whatever the heck these lovely socks are you got on are to die for.
November 21st, 2006 at 10:02 am
I got mine last week, they’re great! I have fairly long legs (35/36″) and they went up past my knees and stayed there better than most. Mine are in the laundry now (which I’m doing tomorrow), so maybe I’ll get a picture of them later this week. Oh, and mine are Magenta. :)
November 21st, 2006 at 11:22 am
I got mine in black/magenta, and I’m going to take some pictures tonight hopefully, once I get home for the Holiday^^. I’m very excited to put them on for a while, I’ve only gotten the chance to try them on for a little bit so far, they’re very pretty.
November 21st, 2006 at 12:21 pm
aw those are scrumptuous! Is the coloured part the mesh or the stripe? I won’t be able to buy anything until next month at least, so I’m ok with you not updating socks yet. lol. ;) I’ll upload an angora review today you can post whenever you want.
November 21st, 2006 at 12:53 pm
Today I wore rainbow thigh-highs to school (not showing, though–it was too cold to bare my legs) and we had a math quiz. I felt really confident and smart in my socks, and I’m pretty sure I aced it! These socks have magic powers! Thanks again!
November 21st, 2006 at 7:33 pm
Trying again:
November 21st, 2006 at 7:34 pm
Ok, images disabled? linky.
November 21st, 2006 at 8:27 pm
Yeah, I remembered about the images only AFTER I’d tried, oops! heehee.
November 22nd, 2006 at 2:21 am
Those are purty, Eva! and :P right back atcha, Cheryl! ;) They knew I’d love the black and grey the bestest. :D
November 22nd, 2006 at 7:31 am
wow…these really are fantastic….and i love the solid foot sole as seen in Shell’s linky….really beautiful these are….i think these might take the place of my favs the ink-lined. wow again….lovely pics everyone….really great ppl here as always.
November 22nd, 2006 at 10:34 am
Woooo Eva! Yours are so pretty! They look almost blue! Alas, I too was unable to buy some socks, hence receiving the specially lovely vertically inclineds… I suppose I’ll just have to wait until I can purchase them. : )
November 22nd, 2006 at 12:06 pm
No pictures, but I just got my order and I figured this is as good a time as any to reply! I LOVE the vertical stockings. They’re totally amazing. The walnut/lavendar stripes are beautiful. And my cat enjoyed the string you tie everything up with. Thank you!
November 22nd, 2006 at 12:42 pm
That makes me wish I got my pair already! I’m guessing they’re still in the mail :\
November 22nd, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Lots to say about these… I think I’ll do a full review on them soon! In the meantime… bigger legs be not afraid, these can actually work on 17″ calves :O)
November 22nd, 2006 at 6:00 pm
EG! Vel’s in the way! ;) (when I was trying to take my pics, BOTH of the cats kept getting all up in the shots, lol!)
November 22nd, 2006 at 10:15 pm
and who is that little cutie pie admiring your socks?
November 22nd, 2006 at 10:20 pm
Oh, good, I was wrong about that being the only decent picture from the set I took. I just hadn’t uploaded the others, out of fear of being considered too vain or sock-obsessed or something. Daft, I know. Anyway, here’s another view of the black.
November 22nd, 2006 at 10:29 pm
That’s my Mom’s Chihuahua, Taco. (We’re puppysitting…) hee hee He’s a little sweetie and actually not so little at 8 lbs. :D
November 23rd, 2006 at 1:02 am
Nice pics, everyone!!! *claps*
November 23rd, 2006 at 9:46 am
oooo I can’t wait to get me some of these. Nice pics you all have.
November 23rd, 2006 at 10:45 am
I’ll get my pic up of the black and green tommorow… I’ve been busy with work and Thanksgiving this week. =(
November 23rd, 2006 at 10:56 am
Happy THANKSGIVING everybody!!! :O)
November 23rd, 2006 at 10:57 am
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 23rd, 2006 at 1:17 pm
I’ll get my pic up of the black and green tommorow… I’ve been busy with work and Thanksgiving this week. =(
November 23rd, 2006 at 6:44 pm
Gah! I just realized, after taking pictures of my magenta/blacks, that I forgot the USB cable for my camera back at school! I was way excited to upload them, but I suppose I’ll have to wait until I get back Sunday. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, wearing the socks was great, they’re so comfy, and they stayed up amazingly well, better than my O Chevrons!
November 24th, 2006 at 9:46 am
my vertically inclineds were inclined to be inclined so I wore inklineds instead. lols
November 24th, 2006 at 10:18 am

November 24th, 2006 at 11:07 am
I love number 4! That carpet is great also!
November 24th, 2006 at 11:51 am
ohhh the red/black ones are so pretty Cheryl!! and I adore your shoesies (sending Vel over to steal them for me).
November 24th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
WOW… the green are great! I love your kitty’s eyes! All these people with great socks and great pets! Perhaps there is some sort of cosmic pet-sock connection hmmm? tee hee
December 1st, 2006 at 9:48 pm
Oh WoW you guys!!! now how am I s’posed to chose favorites??? okay, this weekend right? I’ll get it done!
December 4th, 2006 at 11:38 am
*giggles* I told my boyfriend that my shot ended up getting used and he’s all elated about dating a sock model…I’m highly amused and willing to let him keep thinking like that…as long as he doesn’t start listing it as my profession…which he very well might “That’s my woman…Student, Artist, and SOCK MODEL!!!” XD
December 6th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
I’m pretty sure mine are actually with grey details (though it’s my pasty white legs that make it look so much whiter… oh wait, I’m supposed to call it alabaster, or milky white skin right? (makes it sound so much prettier than pasty.. lol).
