Holey Socks!

Haven't worn my flower-holed knee highs in a while. With the weather cooling off today for September 1st, it was just the right time for that! I worn these outdoors with my red Naot Mary Janes (a nice way to turn this quite conservatively shaped shoe into a more kinky/funky look), and indoors as tabi socks for my indoor Asian inspired thongs.

P.s. In the background is this really cool copper lantern that I got from a friend, it has a red glass "bulb" to protect the candle light... Haven't really had a good spot for that one, it's just rolling around my house homeless. I'm so terrible when it comes to interior decoration initiatives. Takes me ages to put up a picture - even a favourite one! Quite pathetic, really, considering that I know how to do it... This p.s. is longer than the rest of the message, which is even worse LOL!

Almost Stepping on My Chewed Gum Heart

*Note the chewed gum heart which I am almost stepping on. Isn't it fantastic?

Here is a detail of the special chewed gum:

Brown Sneakers & Bubble Gum Heart May 16th 2007, originally uploaded by Theresa Di Moan.

Leggings: Brown with lacy finish, from Mintage
Socks: Seamless nude footlets (AKA peds) from Secret
Tunic: brown with semi-floral white pattern, by Salt and Pepper (you can't see it in the picture but you can find more photos on Flickr) - got it at True Value Vintage
These really look better with a skirt and leggings, but the tunic is much better with a wide belt on...
Shoes: Brown V-Strap Sneakers by Sketchers
I love the look of these shoes. The design, however, is far from being flawless: the sole design is so lacking arch support that your arch pratcically sinks to the ground. This never happened to me with any other shoes :( This I could have forgiven if only the straps prove to be more reliable. But they're not: the scotch closure is so narrow that it looses its functionality very fast. I almost gave up on these, but I like how they look too much for letting them go, yet...
