| Inside was this pair of socks from Leg Avenue:
I *think* this particular Leg Avenue design is a knock off of a Japanese brand’s design but I can’t for the life of me remember which brand though, so someone correct me please! ANGELIC PRETTY design (thanks for the correction Tash!). They are designed to mimic lace up boots. Very cute idea!
I quite like this design because they can be dressed up or down while still providing a point of interest. For example this is how I wore them in a casual way for grocery shopping…
And this is them dressed up to go out to dinner later that night.
I found that the socks themselves were made from very comfy cotton and even though they are designed to be knee high socks, I am quite short at 151cm so I wore them comfortably over the knee all day and they didn’t slip down at all.
I was wearing stockings under them this day because it was freeeezing outside but you can see the over the knee-ness here:
They feature lace around the top with a small polka dot bow. The lace wasn’t great quality but it doesn’t actually touch the skin so the scratchiness didn’t bother me. I am thinking that replacing it with cotton lace would be very easy to do, though I always wear them under longer dresses so no one will ever see the tops anyway…
Nice close up of the details, my favorite part are the little hearts! I don’t think these are “brand” quality socks but considering they only cost $8 while brand socks cost $30ish I am very happy with them.
Overall I am very happy with the quality and comfort of this pair. Very versatile for co-ordinations too! I’m looking forward to seeing what else they start stocking at The Sock Boutique!
If you would like your own pair you can buy these and others from The Sock Boutique.

Cute socks! And may I say, I LOVE your oxfords :P

So cute!! I love your definition of ‘casual’ wear; just like I love wearing Alannah Hill to BBQs ♥

Did you know that Alannah hill copies designs? Eg ETC.
I did, and that’s why I don’t shop there. She has also copied graphic design by local artists :(
Hahaha :D I’m so great with the casual thing…
I love the socks!

Yay! I hope you like them :D
I really love these!! I’m not usually a fan of socks for myself, but I lolve how these look like fancy tights or leggings, when worn with stockings underneath. They remind me a little of Gwen Stefani in that What you waiting for clip.

Yep mine is from Target too :D
Hi! I came back here to view your review again but I found out that the link you posted isn’t working anymore, I think they changed there name is that right? so Sockdreams?
Riechan recently posted..Making jewelry with cabochons- easy and quick!
Hey Rie! The lady who owned it actually closed down the shop after she had her baby so they aren’t in business at all anymore as far as I know. I’m pretty sure Sock Dreams is a different company. If I remember correctly these were made originally by leg avenue so you could check there if you wanted to buy some.
