Fashion Dilemma
Perhaps the fashionistas who read this journal might be able to help me out here.
I have several pairs of knee-high and over-the-knee socks in a variety of fun patterns and colours. However, i don't know how to wear them. I mean, i wear them around the house or under my jeans but i don't know how to wear them out in public without looking like either an idiot or an aging whore. I don't want to work the "school girl look" unless it's a costume party. I'm perfectly okay with looking a bit "funky" but want to avoid looking "dowdy" - i know that can be a fine line sometimes.
I'm thinking maybe with my black knee-high boots, a bit of the stripey sock peeking out from the top and a skirt that falls about 3 inches above the top of the boot? Would that work? Or are knee-high socks something that i shouldn't even bother with considering my short, thick legs? I don't know! They're so cute, i love them! I just don't know if they'll work on me.
UPDATE: Nevermind, i figured it out. I'm going to look awesome. Come by the bookstore on Monday and see what i mean.
