Let’s just pretend that my blazer matches my socks and heels, okay? Let’s also pretend that I have millions of dollars and live in a land where shopping bans are illegal. And while we’re at it my name is Jenny Lewis and I am awesome.
You guys, I’ve made a mistake in not giving myself warmer clothing in this challenge. Sure I have pants but it’s really my arms that are suffering this bout of cold weather these past few days. I might have to cut out the ends of some socks and pass them off as arm warmers. My husband suggested a jacket. Yes, that’s what I shall do. Although the sock on the arm thing did sound like a fun craft project.
But instead of my sock arm warmers trend, I decided to try out the socks with heels trend. I must say, I kind of love it. I did catch a few dirty looks and odd glances. Which is weird because when I glance back, they are wearing the same thing except their knee socks are really ankle socks and their heels are really orthopedic Keds. It’s just that somedays I really want to pack up my whole town into a Greyhound bus and all go on a road trip to NYC, just to show them that the world isn’t flat and that I’m certainly not crazy for wearing tall socks. Perhaps for taking pictures of myself everyday, but definitely not for the socks.

Thanks for not just posting completely adorable pictures but for being one of the funniest writers. Most fashion blogs, I just look at the pictures–yours, I scroll down and read first. 🙂

I will have to replicate this outfit. I have to say that I prefer navy over black, but that I also love navy and black together. Fantastic outfit.
hehehe…I'm always laughing when I read your stuff. You look so cute! I think most of us fashion bloggers get weird glances at work or out in public. When I wore shorts and tights, it was like a sin! Plus it was Sunday brunch, just a tad ostentatious, I suppose.
I like your tall socks and heels combo!
you are darling!! I love the socks!!
hahahaha. I like your socks and heels. I get those same look from the women in my office when I wear fashionable clothing which I like to think is most days 🙂 I really don't think you want pack up your town on a greyhound bus. Those things are nasty!
The "new black" looks great on you!!

I think you look adorable in knee socks. I got a few looks today as I dawned royal blue, footless tights with my mod inspired dress. But I felt good.

Love your dress, it's gorgeous 🙂 I think a world where shopping bans are illegal would be ideal!

I like it! 🙂
Poor old people that have lost touch with reality.
I absolutely love your blog. Your style is adorable, the pictures are beautiful, but most importantly, you're hilarious!
I just have one favor to ask. I know this is a fashion (not beauty) blog, but could you please post about your makeup routine? You always look so lovely.
Thanks!
I'm personally loving your knee socks with heels trend, too. Shame on those who give you dirty looks! I think it's pretty liberating to wear what you want, when you want. It's about as rebellious as I can get!

What an awesome blazer! I love the sock look.
I love the way you styled this dress!
At first I thought you were going to say that you wanted to pack your town into a bus and ship them all away! 🙂 That would just be too too cruel…right? At least they'd have comfortable footwear for the long walk home.
"And while we're at it my name is Jenny Lewis and I am awesome."
I love that you made a Jenny Lewis reference. Love her! And of course I love your outfit, but at this point that's getting kind of redunant as I love all of them.
Love the look! The first time I wore tall socks with heels to a party everyone made fun of me!! (including my friends)It must be a "small town" thing!

I love this whole outfit! Yeah, I've gotten used to the "looks" when I wear anything slightly fashion forward!
I'm really digging the socks-with-heels look!!! You totally nailed it. And yes we'll pretend your blazer matches your socks… or not! It's perfectly fine if they don't. You still look adorable.

Sooooooo cute!!! 🙂 Love this look!
I've been wondering how this little bout of slightly cooler weather is affecting people. Particularly problematic for people operating under tight restrictions, like a 30 for 30, or you packed up your winter clothing and they're in a storage unit far from home.
Lol – love how you styled this dress. And in NY – we still think ppl are crazy for wearing some of the things they do – it's just that we see so many crazy ppl that we don't bother to look twice any more … and chances are we're one of the crazies too.
I love your sense of style! You are an inspiration!

i love your musings about the office hags. ha!
this outfit is delightful!
Haha… now you're calling yourself Jenny Lewis too. Hehe. I swear you looked like her twin the other day!
You and your husband always find the most interesting backdrops for photos! How do you do it!?!
I love navy blue, I'd wear it over black anyday. I do love your blazer and dress and how you've worn them with the socks. I really do idolise your style.
I love this look! You are doing great and it is more than half way!!!
Man, you are just super adorable. I'm loving this 30 day challenge! Will you come over to my closet and help me look as cute as you (or at least as close as possible)? I can pay you in cookies.
these knee highs seal the deal of this look for me!
love it. xo, Kim http://www.crowded-closet.com
Wow, do we live in the same town? Like are you secretly from a rural midwestern village instead of Texas like you said? Because I get the same looks from my townspeople whenever I wear something "edgy".
At any rate, I like your socks dear, and I think they kind of make the outfit. Kudos to you for trying something off the beaten path!

It LOOKS like they match. Haha.

Don't get too cold! I keep getting really excited about Spring and put on short sleeves and no tights, and then I realize, "Oops, I still live in Minnesota!" I love the socks in this ensemble; I think they pull it all together. Annie.
