At this point, I don't. even. know. who. I. AM! I mean, knee socks? With heels? Seriously Serene?! You really think you can pull this off? Just who the heck do you think you are?! Welllllll, I'm Serene darnit and frankly, I think I knocked those sassy little knee socks/heels out of the PARK! I had on my black boots with the socks to begin with. Then these little Mary Jane like heels peeked out at me and said, "I dare you!" So I yanked off the boots, slapped on the MJs and guess what? Elvis is back in the building! I was soooooo surprised at how much I liked it. But don't take my word for it. Take a look at the pics and give me your honest (Serene, it looks fabulous!) opinion. Have I mentioned how criticism gives me hives?

ReplyDeletethe socks are so cute! But I want to know what kind of remarks you got on them at work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess!! Terri, I actually wore this to church, but plan on wearing it to work. I'll have to put up my shield to deflect some quizical looks, but I've already decided that if I'm going to be adventurous and as long as I'm not inappropriate in how I dress, I'm going to get some "Yeah, Serene, I just don't get it." LOL I actually work with some great people, but I do live in a small town; so it's easy to turn heads here (in a what the heck is she wearing sort of way).
ReplyDeleteYou knocked the knee socks out of the park,indeed! And, they're so cute with the little pattern! Defintely a look worth repeating!
ReplyDeleteCute knee socks. Glad to see someone stepping out of their comfort zone.

FOF, Molly, and DP, thanks so much for the thumbs up! I'm like a child, I thrive on positive reinforcement! LOL Sacramento, I'm so excited to be a follower and am priveleged to have you follow my blog. I read an interview you did with....who was that? Senior style or something like that and you just expressed my thoughts on style so articulately. I love that you just go right around any barriers that would try to dictate your style. Un abrazo de mi para ti mi amiga nueva!
ReplyDeleteLOVE those socks! So cute with the dress but still somehow adult. I'm a fan!
ReplyDeleteI think the knee socks look great! I love that look and have wanted to try a pair with boots, but haven't had the guts. I get so much grief for what I already wear...ha ha. You're inspiring me to give it a try! Chruch is a great place to test the waters. ;) ~ Susan
