20121112-180906.jpgI really love the look of socks peeking out above knee-high boots, especially with bare legs and a skirt. But if we’re being practical (and we are for once), there really is a small temperature range where this combo is wearable. Too hot, and you have swamp calves. Too cold, and you get frost bite only on your knees, which I imagine being more awkward than just having straight up frost bite everywhere.

But lucky for me and my lucky knees, this past Saturday had a high in the upper 60s, and I was comfortable wearing this on my field trip to the apple orchard even as the sun went down. Success! And I was having a great hair day. DOUBLE SUCCESS!

  1. 1. You look adorable. Love the socks and boots!
    2. To answer your question about the J.Crew factory blouse – it’s wonderful! Not cheapy feeling at all! Go get it!

  2. Of my last 3 posts, 2 of them have had a strong mustard yellow component as well. Can’t blame you! Yellow is awesome! And I love how you paired it with navy and brown boots.
