If you are adventurous and experimental in your look, and find yourself following many in-the-now trends, go for it. For those of us that stick to a more subdued, "normal" or off-the-rack look, tossing on ankle socks may just look like we put on a costume and are headed for the sock hop. I think it is cute, but to be worn judiciously.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790201512103276489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-69706726044765821062010-08-31T13:18:13.662-04:002010-08-31T13:18:13.662-04:00I am all for ankle socks!

But, on the other hand I can't get over how they do look kind of odd with the rest of the outfits (which is what usually has put me off them in all the other editorials/catalog images I've seen of models sporting the look!)--especially if they're skirts. That being said, it does give things a bit of a late 40s/50s bobby-soxer vibe, which is cute. I don't know--I think I'd have to try it out and see how I looked and whether I was gusty enough to wear it in public! lol.<br /><br />♥ Casey<br />blog | elegantmusings.comCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-86299562523375954392010-08-29T22:07:19.481-04:002010-08-29T22:07:19.481-04:00I am Yea, I think they look great.

It's also an unflattering look for anybody who doesn't want to add layers or draw focus to their ankles.<br />Yet I can't help but like the look. At least in the magazines. I've got nice ankles, but I'm borderline in age.

The ones with a little lace trim at the top that you fold over are adorable, but unfortunately the unshapely ankles I've inherited do not permit me to carry such a delightful look well. But seeing other people wearing them well (such as the beauties in the pictures) makes me happy enough lol.danidotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-35082394907155645772010-08-26T23:46:10.689-04:002010-08-26T23:46:10.689-04:00I love the Lucky mag looks.
