Um, M, I work in the most boring environment and even I would wear the slouchy socks. Totally cute. Totally work appropriate (IMO) with the rest of the outfit). And you do work in an art gallery. In California! Give it a go next week. I think it's adorable.
You so should have gone the scrunchy scoks route! I do suppose the final outfit was more appropriate :)
oh no you didnt girlfriend ..bring back the scrunch socks..
i just had my whole childhood flash right before my eyes....
scrunchy in hair to the side, braces, double up'd scrunch socks, LA Gear shoes omg pencil perm.. im going to stop now before i really embarrasses myself.
you look cute none the less..i love the outfit..especially the broaches!
I love what you wore to work....like LOVE, love. I haven't thought of scrunch socks since elementary school, you are brave and somehow make it work:)
oh you!!! you are too funny and too cool with your scrunchy socks!!!! love it!
OMG you should have TOTALLY rocked them!!! soo cute!!
So cute!!!
I adore the socks!!
(but the tights are gorgeous too and either way you look stunning.)
Definitely copying this look.
Have a fabulous day x
Either way, you rock it. I would look so lame in the socks! But I'm taking a dance class at millenium and I'm breaking out the leg warmers! OH YEAH.
xoxo
you look so cute, but yeah i don't think those socks would be very appropiate for the gallery.
love the skirt!!!
and u look great as always!!
xxx
omg Elizabeth Marie - I've totally taken dance classes there as well as rehearsed there {with Goddess, of course.. .lol!}
Have fun and totally break out the legwarmers!
Hahha you look so cute with those socks and very hot with your real outfit. I love them both
WHAT?!?!? i was so bummed when i read that you chickened out...i LOVE the slouchy socks...too friggen cute! i miss those....
anyway...must say though that your legs in that first photo at work look AMAZING!! please list where i can buy those ;)
It's so fun to play dress-up, isn't it? That first outfit is ideal for a profile pic!
The picture of you and your cousin is presh.
And I love the office look with the brooches!
xoxox,

You look great! Love the heels!
scrunch socks<3
so 80 s,i love to use them at home!
I don't think there is anything you could wear that will not make you look great. the first one was so fun and the second one with a few changes was fabulous!
the socks would have totally worked with your mary janes!
You sure can rock the socks girl! I love the outfit either way but the way you went with worked out for work!
I think you made a wise decision for work, but you've definitely got to try out the scrunch socks some other time. :)
Ah! Fun post!
I like the look of scrunch socks + short skirt but I would put flat shoes instead of heels.
Next time, just do it! :)
to be honest, i wasn't a fan of the socks with that outfit. it would be cool, but it would have to be the perfect outfit for them and I don't think that was it. I prefer the final with the tights.
I think I NEED those Nana shoes. Yup, I'm pretty sure I do!
I love your outfit! I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog.
Ok whoever said the slouchy socks look good are totally blowing smoke up your ass lol. The outfit with the tights and the maryjanes looks fabulous.
I like both of the variations!
it looks beautiful both ways! You have to have long legs to pull off the scrunched socks and you can DEFINITELY pull it off :-)
you should have worn the scrunch socks! You could totally pull off that look!
I'm loving the socks! I bought some black ones to wear with heals + shorts. Yeah!
Um, no, not boring :)
I love both looks on you (especially that blazer, raaar!) but I have to say you pulled off those socks in fine style. I understand though, I chicken out a lot when it comes to fashion in the work place and when I don't, I become known as "crazy tights lady" - just cuz I wore crazy tights ONE time. Sheesh :)
I love socks & heels together. they look so comfy & cute together. but I do like the black tights with your black heels you chose to wear anyway... still mucho cuteness!!! xo
Well I do like the way the socks look, and it can be trend setting, but the black stockings are very sexy and chic, good call (:
Hugs, Diane
looove the og pics. i bet there was a SCRUNCHY in your hair too.
ugh i am too chicken shit to wear socks with sandals out. have been dying to sack up and do it for a year. if you do it, i'll do it ;)
i wish you would have worn them.. u styled them just right

I actually like what you decided to wear better. I think editing is key in all fantastic looks. The socks were a little too "Japanese School Girl" for me.
I love the scrunch socks! love them. you have to go for it next time. though i must say there is something really timeless and fabulous about black pantyhose--that whole streamlined look thing gets me every time.
Both look amazing, I love the socks with heals anytime!
I'd never wear the socks with heels ONLY because I feel like I couldn't pull it off, but in all the pictures you posted, socks + heels look really good! Love love love the pins.
Screw being 'appropriate'.If I had legs like yours,I swear I'd be walking around in mini skirts that barely cover my happy places.ALL.YEAR.LONG.Dress the way you want.If people stare,it's because their jealous bitches.
what a nice post and you look so cute, original outfit:)
:)
I love this look! (and I think the socks are just as age appropriate as the tights!)
I totally wish that I could pull of scrunch socks...
Second outfit was def the right choice. Very classy!!
Ok: This is off the subject, butI need to know: How do you feel about men wearing scarves? Not scarves to keep themselves warm, I'm talking fashionable scarves to complete an outfit?
While that would have been bold and very daring, Im glad your went with the hose.
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Too safe!!! You should've gone with the socks.
Awww, they both look great, but I love the scrunch socks...so freakin' adorable!
I think you pulled off the scrunch socks quite well.
Either outfit looks absolutely fabulous but I really think you should give the scrunchy socks a try! I secretly have oodles of pairs of them hiding in the back of my drawer and this post just gave me the motivation to break them out. Let's be brave together, shall we? :)
cool outfit!
eeee i LOVE scrunch socks! i've been dying to get some perfect ones. those look fantastic.
I'm mildly dissapointed...because that outfit with the socks was bitchin'! You rocked it!
But, you looked fab anyhow. Damn you, how do you look good in everything??!!
I love the scrunch socks! I used to live in Japan and I loved seeing all the schoolgirls wearing the slouchy socks. You look great in them!
both are totally cute!
I too have been feeling the 90s socks and have desperately been trying to find some to cover my tiny cold ankles. I want mint!
I used to wear scrunchy socks all the time when I was younger! What a great outfit to team them up with. I am inspired :-)

That outfit looks cool on you. Forever 21 products are really one of the best of it's kind.
Oh great. Now I know why this style looks pretty bad. You can get screen printed t-shirts to look more attractive.
