Delicious!!!
The super long cable leg warmers are soo very yummy!
It isn’t often that those of us with both larger AND longer legs get warmers that fit us with decadent loose folds and extra length. Most of the time the styles of leg warmers I see on the more petite girls would truly only fit me as an armwarmer.
But these are MINE MINE MINE :O)
They fit me with extra length going well up into my mid thigh, lovely cascades of folds and draped excess… And yes, they even went easily over my big ole large calves too. I have to say that these lovely longer warmers fit my legs perfectly!
The texture of these is really fun… Very fuzzy, perhaps even hairy? I want to say they are like mohair but am not sure that’s quite right. Either way, initially I was a bit nervous that they would be scratchy… But on they feel wonderful and not itchy at all, they even soften up quite nicely in the wash.
They don’t stay up on their own for very long (especially after lots of washings and wearings)… But I’ve found that my snappy garters hidden under a lovely OTK cuff keep them up just fine for me. I think I need to get myself one of the ankh garters now (the black and sliver of them would look amazing with these warmers).
There was some talk about which end is up when it comes to warmers… Ruffle foot or ruffle OTK… Well these have a ruffle on both ends :O) but still… When I am putting them on, I keep my eye on which end I’d previously worn up on my thighs (if you have ample pins like mine, it will be noticeable), and I make sure I always wear my thigh ends on my thighs. It keeps the ankle ruffle pretty.
I grabbed two pairs of these before they last ran out… The new colors are now in, I absolutely MUST have two pairs of each of the colors. These come in so handy for days around the house… I wear my lace trimmed boxer shorts with them, and couldn’t possibly be more comfy. Don’t even bother putting these away in the sock drawer… keep em handy cause you’ll just keep reaching for them over and over again.
LOVE THESE… LOVE LOVE LOVE EM!

Wow, I had no idea these were this fuzzy. They look so cozy though…even for larger legs! I can’t wait to get a pair :).

Exactly my feeling! My legs are short, but it was nonetheless amazing and wonderful to have warmers that go over my thighs with ease and room to spare!

I like your post alot EG. My response is mainly about Vel.
I saw him in the sock drawer picture link hangin’ out in your drawer. My cat Olmo loves to sit in my clothes drawers too. They love to feel close to you and even the clean clothes smell like the owner.
I read about Vel on your Myspace page and thought it the one of the best love stories I’ve ever heard about a pet and his owner. Though we all know they own us.
Peace & Good Fortune to you both

Ive been in love with the charcoal ones for months but unfortuneatly I came across them after they sold out. Ive been waitin for them to be restocked and I was so happy to see they had been yesterday. Imagine how excited I was to see there now two more new colours! I can’t wait to order all three later tonight. I may end up living in these. : )

I have two pairs of the shorter ones and love them.

Great post, cute pics as always! I think the burgundy ones look nice. :)

I’m so happy they came out with more colors, especially since they are so long & stretchy!!!

maybe I’ll get a pair of these next order… the ivory looks nice :)

just to mention: I’m not sure on the longer style, but on the shorter ones the ivory doesn’t have that fuzzy mohair look to it. They’re more a plain solid colour knit. Still fabulous, but different than the coloured version.

I’m so indecisive about these! I think they look lovely, but I keep bouncing back and forth as to whether they are for me or not.
I have a totally off topic question, if anyone can answer this for me. The Wooly Anklets w/Flowers, the chocolate combo, I’m having a hard time really making out what the “chocolate” is, I assume brown, but they look very dark pinkish to me. What are the colors? Or does anyone have (or can create) a picture of them up close to show the colors better? I’m really considering these sometime soon, but I want to make sure what those colors look like, otherwise I will get the black ones.

Now that you mention it, I think the ivory ones are the only ones that are not fuzzy, the mocha ones aren’t as much as the charcoal, but the burgundy & denim definitely are. It’s weird though because it isn’t really a noticeable difference in them side by side…
The wooly anklets are brown with pink and grey. Their little flower is gold with a brown center *

oh good I was hoping the ivory would be less of a fuzzy look lol, they didn’t look as fuzzy in the photos.
