Niqkita's Sock Journal

It was a gorgeous weekend here in Portland and a joy to be outside with a view of the Willamette River and people watching galore. Hundreds of people stopped by to talk to us and buy socks, it was really awesome to see so many people happy to see us, many have already shopped with us or have seen our billboard or have heard of Sock Dreams via friends, coworkers & family members.

This lovely hoop girl had stopped by our shop earlier last week to get her fishnets and leg warmers for the parade (which indeed had socks o’plenty proudly worn in many colors, especially rainbows)

I wore my sweet pea Dreamy Stripes paired with Betsey Johnson peek a boo shorties on Sunday and antique Super Dreamies on Saturday and proudly showed them off all day. With the help of my ever amazing crew of Sock Dreamers the weekend was not only a joy but a complete success. Thanks to all who worked it with me and to the many people who stopped by to say hi!!!

and oh-so-much more!!!
the black & gold fishnets are a sneak peak at the Betsey Johnson Metallic Magic Fishnet Shorties. Our full order just arrived today and will be live shortly…
The shoes? I found those on Etsy, hand painted by Hippy of Doom.
Lovely, I absolutely adore them, especially with these socks.
Oh, how I adore Betsey Johnson and her sexy styles!!!

When Raubynn & I went to Seattle last month I brought these along with way too many others, if only we’d had a whole week for taking pictures! these were my fav’s, the fishnet capris were just stunning! oh, and wait til you see the Grrr Fishnets!
They are subtle and were tricky to get a decent shot of. I loved how they looked and fit, really nice fishnet that felt great on and the pattern was evenly printed all over without gaps, overlaps or mismatches.

This isn’t even all of it…

We have among our latest arrivals being tested & shot this week:
E.G. Smith Eco line of Green Socks
