The Great Sock Debate Part II- Solved!

So I was originally planning to wear this outfit with tights. But finally the weather in NYC blossomed into something beautiful and I just couldn't bear to stuff my legs into another pair of tights after months and months spent in them. So last night I decided to take a trip to JCPenney on my way home to find just the right sock! I tried this look with both a light tan and a heathered navy sock. I think the tan works better. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the outcome and my heels are much more comfortable with the soft sock on. Part of me even feels like a little girl without the ruffles on her socks. What do you think?

The Great Sock Debate.

While the days of summer MUST be getting closer, in NYC we are yet to really make it into warm weather territories. As I have been preparing my shoe wardrobe for the warmer months I just can't wait any longer to bust out my open toe shoes! Thus is the question, dare I attempt pull them off with socks? (I've gotten the over the knee sock to work, but the ankle sock walks a very fine line)

I think the look can be pulled off so cute with just the right sock with just the right shoe with just the right outfit and just the right amount of slouch to the sock. And of course the look works fabulously on the runways or on celebs (see Rihanna, Chloe Sevigny and Leighton Meester), but can I pull it off for every day without it looking too fussy, too hippie or too 80s? I'll continue to have the great sock debate in my head, but how about mother nature make things easier for us all and bring out the warmer temperatures! (in the mean time perhaps I'll be on the look out for an appropriate ankle sock on my lunch break...)
