Socks 4 Spring

In the springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding a ding; Sweet lovers love the spring. - William Shakespeare

Happy Spring Everyone! Spring is one of my favorite times of year. It is like a jail break from the confines of our homes, cars, subway tunnels, thick coats, chunky sweaters, heavy boots, and layer after layer of clothing in which we are imprisoned by the bitter cold! All I want to do strip these chains away & run into the great outdoors screaming "FREEDOM!!!" - William Wallace.

You know you feel it, some people call it "Spring Fever" and I totally hear that expression, I mean, it is like a burning, an intense yearning to break free of the bondage of winter and embrace the streets, parks, backyards, outdoor cafes, etc. which we have been basically banned from since mid-November. Now you can eat your lunch on a park bench; if you arrive early to an engagement and have to wait outside - you don't mind waiting because you can bask in the sunlight or breathe in the warm twilight breeze and it is OK because it is lovely, warm & comfortable outside! (Some of us roll down our car windows and ignore the rules of the road!) I could go on and on..... Basically, I am totally excited that Spring is upon us!

Ankle high socks are a great look for Spring. They are bright and cute and keep your ankles warm even in your pumps! Right now these French Dots Ankle Socks are my ABSOLUTE favorite. I like to wear mine with a flowy or pleated skirt and usually my black bow shoes. They also look fabulous with a wedge!

Of course once Spring hits, you want to break out all your lighter clothing, however, there are those days that are not quite warm enough for all your Spring wear such as flip flops and short sleeved shirts. One solution I have found for this problem is leg warmers with open toes or tabbi leg warmers. "Crochet Lover" is my personal favourite. However, for going out I tend towards the Aztec leg warmers which allow me to wear my flip flops or thong sandles without shivering my ankles off & I am still free from my winter weather bondage!
