i’m trying really hard to look on the bright side of the end of summer (i’m still hoping for an unseasonably hot september since i feel like i’ve been completely cheated out of summer), but apparently nobody liked my crazy mixed print fall 07 runway-inspired outfit, because i didn’t get a single comment on it! but i for one, thought it was just to die for and have been thinking about those wooly over-the-knee-socks with those chunky T-strap sandals for fall ever since. then i saw this outfit on StyleBytes:
and the craving returned four-fold. i can still wear the pantloads of minidresses i’ve accrued over this summer into the parts of the 8 months of winter we have here! a small consolation.
another cheat i’d like to try out this year is short sleeved coats with elbow length gloves! i love the idea of not having to wear long sleeves every single day and a change-up of the usual boring silhouettes is exactly what i need to get myself through all that grey…
I think Agathe has inspired legions with those over-the-knee socks. I know I’m on the prowl for a pair. My trick for 3/4 length sleeve coats is wearing them in a kid’s size. The sleeves are always too short and it looks great with long gloves.
dearest,
if you have a hard time finding a short sleeve coat while thrifting, the vera wang for kohl’s collection will have them. i think it’ll be online too.
and i’m in agreement. i was thinking the exact same thing just yesterday about one of those with the gloves!
I have been looking for over the knee socks everywhere, I love them for fall and winter.
