A Little Lace & A Little Love
Foot Traffic’s Lace Topped Rag Socks…
These are sort of a sleeper of a sock, one I secretly adore, then wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t love them as much as I do. They are topped with the kind of lace that isn’t so frilly it can’t go through a normal wash load with the rest of my clothes. Thick enough to be a slipper sock for around the house or add that extra bit of padding in looser shoes, they make a perfect boot sock too. They may be one of our thickest short socks (the New Zealand Bedsocks are perhaps a tad thicker), but I still enjoy wearing them even on warmer days because they breathe well, I even managed to stretch the toe out a little to wear comfortably with my flip flops yesterday.
I only have a pair of the pretty rose tinged oatmeal, but am sure to have one of each before long. Because, you know, you can never have too many socks!

I LOVE the look of these… so super comfy looking and cute! I see a whole sweet flowy outfit in my head… a summery one none the less… layers of off white and white, ruffled ankle length petticoats worn under knee length cotton (eyelet) lace slip, little white tshit under the frilly top of the slip, with maybe some mstripes in the white/natural color cut off as arm warmers (and perhaps an extra one to tie my hair back with)… OH I WANNA WEAR THIS!! Don’t you just hate when single pair of socks makes you want to go out and create a whole new outfit around them :o) These are gorgeous!

I have a pair of the oatmeal and although I haven’t worn them anywhere yet (too blasted hot for footwear here) I can attest to their cuteness and softness.

A little lace, a little love, and a little leg! Nice.
Meg, I just cant imagine it ever being too hot for footwear! I’d no sooner go out without shoes and socks than I would pants! And it’s supposed to be 108 tomorrow!

Wow! Amanda thanks for the Toms link. Wrap around boots, yes!
And, well, not to nit-pick or anything, but I was under the impression that all the sock orders were put together by fairies.

Oh, I love these! I have been coveting a pair of the oatmeal, but it’s just too blasted hot here for them right now. I still wear my socks, but right now I want light and lacy!
I wish these came in more colors, though.

Ooh! I just ordered these!
Hope they live up to the hype!
They’re just toooooo pretty! <3
