Leg Bling..

Ever heard of Tattoo Socks? Nor had I until a random search on Etsy threw them up (which some of you may be tempted to do..but bear with me).  Think about it..it’s like statement, throwaway fashion that makes more of a mark than any High Street rip-off could…your favourite outfit taken to new, giddy heights. Try it and love or try it and loath it, the choice is yours but at – considering the wow factor – a pocket pleasing price…

(If I was an actress up for an Oscar about to walk the red carpet..I’d wear these..or as a bride going up the aisle??..or a first day at work under a pair of three quarter length trousers?? Hehe! )

Possibly better than nude ankle socks (Sorry Kerry!) I just feel these things have legs….I wonder when we’ll see them at a Fashion Week..or on a runway..

    Definitely much better that the nude ankle socks! I found the clothes there fantastic but the socks… sorry.

        Yep, I am so sorry, but it has been too long time seeing these socks as a horrible, horrible thing. Too late for me to change. Whenever I see them or the ones going to the knee, even if the end is properly covered by the trousers I cannot avoid imagining, actually “seeing”, the naked leg with these socks on it. I guess is a trauma I carry since my childhood 🙂

      I do remember seeing a girl wearing these at the Vogue Fashion Festival last year..I had to take her picture as she made such an impression..but I had no idea where to find them..until now!

    I’m mad about this trend ! These socks remind me of the nude socks with tattoos from Rodarte’s Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 show, but in an edgier version ! xxxxx

    I like the butterflies but think you’d have to have really slim legs to pull this one off!

    Oh…my! My twenty year old self woulda loved these!…but as I’m no longer as young as I used to be I think I’ll leave this trend to others. Cool idea though! The “Don’t Panic” pair are tempting… Cortneybre

    I like the giraffes best! I used to work with someone who had a giant millipede tattooed snaking its way around her upper thigh. Sent a delighted shiver of scandal through the archive when we noticed it. Jx

    Absolutely adore the “Don’t Panic” ones too, but if I pulled on a pair of these lovelies…
    I think that’s exactly what would happen—my whole {entire} world would PaNic!!…lol…
    but for those who can pull off this bold leg bling then go for it ’cause it’s totally rad!! ~xo

    I love it! Where can I get some? I’m loving the giraffes. And if my legs aren’t slim enough, my arms certainly are. I’ll wear them as sleeves.
