Our most fashionable heels don’t hold up so well on the streets of New York, and often times, we don’t want to put them at risk while we dance away to The Kills.
So lately, even at work, we’ve been pairing ensembles with some pretty kick-ass, take no prisoners, rough and tumble boots.
But since we don’t want to come off like a 2008 Courtney Love, we’ve been looking for ways to soften the edge on our favorite utility-wear.
Naturally, we remembered the lacy ankle socks that our mom’s dressed us in. These from Sock Dreams are playful enough to add a bit of Lolita to an otherwise biker-esque outfit.
We can’t wait to scuff up our new Docs while we reminisce about hopscotch on the playground.

what a great idea! I was just thinking about those childhood socks the other day (worn then with patent mary janes of course) and was wondering how to rework the idea into a modern grown up look. Love this.
