I've had these ombré socks for a few years now, but never really had a chance to wear them out. You know those accessories that you buy because they're so cute in-store, but you don't really plan ahead to think about what they would go with in your wardrobe, so instead they sit in your closet while you forget about them? I was determined to not let these socks share the same fate.
In putting together this outfit I decided I was going to start in reverse, from my toes up, and try to fashion a look specifically around the socks. I guess sometimes that's what you have to do to give lesser-worn items or accessories in your wardrobe some play.
In the end, I love how the ombré color compliments the print in the dress and sets off the geometric pattern. Micol's crisp white blazer (last seen here) pulls the look together, and ensures that I get to borrow it for at least one more day.
