Inspirational Use of Knee Socks: La Garconne's Spring Lookbook
My Twitter is pretty much the only place where I like to post pictures of myself wearing "outfits." It's ridiculous, really -- this is a fashion blog, after all, and people like pictures of people! But I am moronically shy, and Twitter seems like a nice, quiet way to be an exhibitionist, nude spammers notwithstanding. This fall my "tweeple" (yeah, that's stupid to say, but I really hate saying "followers," it's not like I'm a cult leader or something!) were subjected to a spate of outfits featuring an unsually high usage of over-the-knee socks -- with dresses, shorts, skirts, all sorts of things. Basically my rule this fall was: if my knees were showing, I had a perfect opportunity to wear over-the-knee socks. And I was really a happy clam this fall, fashion-speaking, because knee socks are the best thing ever. Happily, spring is coming and I can't wait to get back to the sock-wearing! I was reminded of this when I took a gander at La Garconne's lookbook for spring 2010 -- lots of awesome sockage happening alongside the awesome clothing, of course. I wish I could have everything from La Garconne, their selection and general taste being perfectly Euro-gamine, but instead I'll just have to be content with stealing ideas instead of merchandise.

These clothes are really cute! Kat, do you know Comptoir Des Cottoniers? A couple years ago they were my number one "if only I was a girl" brand. I'm not as into the current collection on their website but I do think they might be up your alley.

I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
