Here is another example of the sensible-shoes-with-little-socks concept, from The Sartorialist (click the link for the full-sized image). Here the focus was on the pink shirt-dress, not the shoes. I love the color of the dress and the idea, but imo it's too short to actually work (she had to wear shorts because of it). A little longer and it would have been perfect. (Yeah, try finding exactly what you want...a lovely shirt-dress this color, but just a wee bit longer?)

B.ella Codori Crochet Tights in Ivory, preliminary review
I decided to try the ivory shade after all; thanks to the preternatural delivery speed of sockdreams, I already have them. I've tried them on but haven't worn them properly, if that makes any sense.
Ladies, these are bee-autiful tights. At first I was concerned ivory tights might resemble attire outgrown in fourth grade, but the sheer complexity of the pattern precludes that. The ivory is yellower than the almost-white pictured; it's more a delicate cream, which again helps with an older and more sophisticated look.
I went ahead and got the "tall" size (I'm 5'5", 134 lbs. so I'm not small, but hardly tall)--in my experience, Italian legwear tends to run small. A touch big would be fine, whilst too tiny would not work, and the quality usually excels (nice and stretchy, unlikely to bag out on you). Tall is fine.
* Why the silly numbering? I felt oddly superstitious and didn't want part 13.Labels: shoes, sockdreams, wardrobe
