My Way, Her Way: Socks And Sandals
i’ve teamed up with the fantabulous sybil to bring you guys our blogs’ newest feature called my way, her way. in this segment we will both incorporate some current fashion trends into our outfits and post them at the same time – more or less. haha.
we’ve chosen the socks-and-sandals trend for our first post!
i’ve been seeing this look everywhere for months (as i’m sure you have!) and have really loved it. i find the trend to work best with short hemlines, but since i am not a huge fan of those, it’s been rather difficult to make it work for me.
so i decided to try it with my knee-length white dress (one of my all-time favorite thrifting finds!) and i think it worked okay!
i wore my denim vest and brown belt to keep with the color scheme of my wedges…
while my baby pink socks and mint green nails provided the perfect pastel accents.
here is sybil’s take on the trend! doesn’t she look lovely? i swear our matching high buns were unintentional!
but that’s not all! we’re expanding this feature to other bloggers (yes, YOU!) and have you guys interpret other trends. we will be inviting at least two bloggers to join in every trend, so watch out because you could be next! (:

This is fun! I don't think I can pull off a socks-and-sandals outfit. Both of you did great on this one. <3

I don't think I could pull this look off but it seems like such a nice idea. I have a pair of tall sandals which hurt my feet. I guess socks would remedy that situation nicely.
Your knee length white is a great find! It looks so country and pretty 🙂

hey, this is an awesome idea! what a great way to get to know other bloggers.
i love both of your interpretations of the trend, & that you both used bright-colored socks (pink & blue!)! i especially like that belt you added over your vest. i think it completes your look! 🙂

Also, your mint green nails look so much more natural than mine. Haha but I'll take your advice and try to get used to it 😛

Love your collaboration with Sybil, very creative and refreshing 🙂 I like the contrast between your pink socks and green strappy wedges 🙂 And the eyelet dress is gorgeous. I love how you toughened it up with the jean vest and belt 🙂
