I've been wearing knee socks a lot lately, a new habit that seems to elicit a wide variety of stares when I'm walking around. There is obvious joy from (creepy) old men, familiarity from young girls, and a general bewilderment on the faces of most women my own age. Knee socks are inherently youthful and it seems that there is no way to wear them without looking rather like a schoolgirl. Of course, with my penchant for short skirts and demure blouses, I went running with that look. It's not the first time and it certainly won't be the last, especially with this sock fever I'm experiencing. I'm sure I will get some kind of creepy email about it, much like the one I received recently that said simply: "I love jacking off to you on your blog." Er, thank you? Really warms the heart. Maybe I should change the name of the blog to Fanny Fine? ;)

beautiful blouse and cute bag, adore the socks and shoes too
Those shoes are THE thing, love them. I used to have a penchant for knee socks and over the knee socks when I was ypur age as well, Ashley, I thinkthe schoolgirl look is fine and dandy. And that hat makes me think of Anne of Green Gables, ah!
So lovely! Sorry you got a creepy email. I almost felt like the fashion blog world was immune to those kinds of emails, too bad it isn't. I love the blouse and hat. Such great colors you put together. Somewhere I have or used to have that very same skirt.

Ah success! You know you've arrived when you start getting those emails! :D Charming, anyway.
I get creepsters who add my photos on flikr to their stocking fetishest favorites. I feel ya.... CREEPY! Don't let it stop you, knee socks rule.
You know, in merry ol' England, Fanny means pussy.
Knee socks are the jam! I'm dipping back into them after realizing bare legs are a no-no up here most of the year : /
whoa, creepy, cant believe some dude emailed you that! and personally, i love the knee socks. what with wearing pigtails and braids all the time, i look 15, i might as well run with it too!
What a lovely and cute outfit! The colors look so great together.

O,love this look,I think you'll rock it well into your twilight years!
Oh, I'm so glad you got the email I sent. haha. JK. You are looking supremely lovely in these photos. The curls are totally doing it for me. And those colors are an autumnal dream.
XOXO
Love the skirt, and the socks are adorable. I can't believe anyone could be as creepy as the guy who sent you that email--seriously, did he really think you'd want to know that?
So sorry to hear you received such a revolting email. What a depraved individual he must be. Your blog should be for us vintage and style enthusiasts only, it feels like a violation for him to infiltrate and use it in such a grotesque manner. I'm so cross he felt he had to inform you of his masturbation.
Besides, I adore your hat and shoes in this picture. I think heaven would be to curl up in your wardrobe :) xx
This outfit is stunning! I love everything about it! You're an absolute vision!

it's a little too cold for knee socks here, but i was all about them in the fall! they do get a lot of weird responses though, someone yelled "NICE BOOTS" at me one night. :S
