Black Knee Socks
"The most beautiful colors chase the sun
They wrap her trail in a taunting gesture
That seems to sing out loud,
'this is what you're missing'"

Ensemble message: Today was one of few meetings, and they were all with people I've been working with for a long time. In other words, it was safe to experiment with knee socks! Let me tell you, I had many doubts leaving the house... but it finally got to the point where I was going to be late, so I just went for it. Lo and behold, I actually got a lot of compliments! So I'm glad I took the plunge.

What do you guys think about knee socks? I see them all over the fashion blogosphere and on Chictopia... I think they look great, but you have to be careful about how cutesy the outfit is. Unless that's your thing... super sweet and cute isn't really my style ;)

Ensemble message: Today’s outfit says that it’s fall, but not freezing cold yet! I was so lucky to score this dress from Shop Delightfully Tacky. Very happy to help Elizabeth fund her cross-country Winnebago trip, especially since I got a fun dress in return ;) As soon as I saw that this dress was for sale, I e-mailed her because this had been one of my favorites on Delightfully Tacky. Between the ruffles and mixed print, I just had to have it.
Here’s how she styled it:
I kept my look simple but will be experimenting with different layers, tights, and shoes in the (near) future. The footless tights were fun, but next time I want a color that pops more!
