Although otk/thigh highs have been given the thumbs-down by most of the people, I’m very much into them. I’m thinking socks:) Remember that scene in Sex and the city when Carrie was wearing those bold coloured socks(red, black and white) with a blue dress? I didn’t like it that much when I first saw it but now I’m ready to show some love to this trend(needless to say, it’s possible that you achieve a catholic school girl’s look but even so, I think they can look chic) So, after falling in love with them, I started searching for a proper pair but beside some websites(foreign of course, we’d be fools to belive that Romania will ever have decent shops) I found, there was no luck. I could’ve bought them from there but the shipping taxes were bigger than the actual price of the socks so I gived up and waited for a miracle to happen🙂) In the end, two lovely bloggers gived me some suggestions and after ages of struggling, I’ve actually found a pair! I was lucky enough to find them on sales so I bought 2 pairs, just to be sure:D (Thank you so much, Boheme.Fille and Laura Tenshi!)
Anyway, without further ado, I give you…(drums please) the black otk socks, my new bf!
Otk socks can step out in style any outfit but i admit, they can be a little challenging to incorporate:) What i don’t like about this trend are the sausage legs, so for me, this was the main criterion for buying them since my legs aren’t actually insect like 😀
Also, i don’t know if it’s bothering you but i tend to crop the disturbing background of my pictures, so that’s why they have different sizes 🙂
Skirt: Mango

Love them…but I have chubby legs and I don't like how they look on me :)) They look super pretty on you though .. and that skirt, omg…pure love ♥
Imi place blogul tau, keep up the good work :*
Love, love , love. I have endless love for knee high socks, I don’t know why but I just love this trend. It might be the fact that I was rocking them in ninth grade while bringing shock to all of my high school. Good times:) You look awesome as always!:)
Haha, se pare ca ne-am vorbit…amandoua cu sosete lungi 😀
Imi place mai mult varianta fara geaca, nu ca cealalta imi displace dar pare mai interesant si original fara.
As mai fi adaugat un ruj roosuuuu si un coc in varful capului?? Maybe

They used to be pretty popular in '94-'95, but I used to have a hard time finding a pair my size. They were usually way too long :)) When I finally found a pair like yours, I wore them with army boots and a mini jeans skirt. I was 14 and that combination made me famous in school :)))) I might give it a try again. I find them really cool.
Last year I bought some interesting socks from Golden Point. Lycra colored socks, with a lace band, but they're only up to the knee. I love them, but have no idea what to wear them with. Any suggestions are welcomed 🙂
I love the leather jacket too!
i want to get a pair as well. just like u my biggest fear is having sausage legs. i just wore a pair for halloween so i think the trick is to wear them with a fuller skirt and have them start exactly where the hem of the dress ends. that way u dont create several horizontal lines across your legs.

I'm a big fan of over the knee socks, as you've probably seen on my blog :P. I have a few pairs, but I'm always craving for more.
Anyway, such a cute outfit, I really like the skirt and the bag. Very stylish.

I have the same opinions abt the OTK socks! I to don't have the insect legs 😛 … You look good btw!
I'd love to wear otk, but I don't think they suit me… 🙁
You look gorgeous!

I love high socks! I absolutely love them! I own a couple of them myself and yeah, everybody looks but I don't really care. That's what you get in fashion-impaired countries, right?
You look amazing in that outfit! Cutest little owl too 😀

Overtheknees are so cool! I don't have too much of them but I adore the trend. In Hungary we dont have too good shops to find pretty ones but I keep searching. Love this post you have a talent for posing, you are very pretty! XOXO Lidia

j'adore ton look, tout me plait, et cette jupe est vraiment très jolie.
You look very sweet – I think thigh high socks aren't really for me, but this isn't to say that they won't look incredible on others!

Ooo, girl, you look so CUTE!
Nothing wrong with your face! They are cute.
Ah I still love OTK boots no matter what people say! I'm not sure about OTK socks for myself, but they do seem to look great on you! And that thrifted sweater, amazing!
