SockStar Status

There is a time and a place for every look. Two mornings ago it was time: To be a SockStar. I forgot how much I loved my Holly Madison 'skater socks'. In a mad dash to get my daughter off to school I felt compelled to Rock the Sock. I styled it with my JustFab Alvinette Moto Boot, denim shorts (decent length, don't get me started on jean shorts with exposed inner pockets) and a TORD (Toronto Roller Derby) top, kindly gifted to me by my 'Wheely Nasty' Sister.

Remember the days of 'The Girls Next Door' and how Holly was a SockStar? She is still Rockin the Sock. It is her signature accessory.

You can also get them at American Apparel for $10 in a RAINBOW of colors! (They have thigh highs too)

This style of sock originated with the Roller Skaters and 'derby' girls of the 1970's a-la-Raquel Welch in the film Kansas City Bomber. Known as the Skater Sock or Tube Sock.

Flash forward to Milan Fashion Week S/S 2014 runway at PRADA was full of the semi-sock aka leg warmer. Boasting the same stripe as the 'skater sock' this "new" chic leg band may be all the rage in the spring.  I may have to give it a try, in a lower priced, likely DIY version.

Movin' On Up

I have literally spent the last 28 days moving only to see a sea of unpacked boxes. Let's not even discuss the amount of time sorting, packing and purging I did in the days and weeks prior. I thankfully have had help along the way but now find myself with boxes left and no hands on deck, except for those that are way to small and busy to contribute in a productive way.  My 2 year old son is thriving and growing so fast. He has a keen sense of how to un-do what I have just done. If I put it away he is quick to be at my heels taking it back out again.  I am under a mountain of my past trying to get organized for my future.

I have been on a mini-hiatus from my blog and eBoutique due to this crazy life transition and the symbolic opening of a new chapter. I am happy to report that I'm BACK! I have some amazing content coming up and fabulous pieces to be list to Evolution Vintage eBoutique!

Coping with moving and kids is a lot, but nothing I can't handle. On an all ready full plate, what's one or two more things, right? Each day I set small goals to ensure I accomplish something and not to set myself up for disappointment as the project pile up.  I'm Movin' on up in all aspects so being organized is key and something I'm working on.

Cheers to this new chapter!!

ROCK the SOCK

SUNO

I have had a love hate relationship with the premise of wearing a sock with a high heel, open or closed toe. I love a sock with a bootie without question. 

Me Rocking my Socks with JustFab "Mariana" booties & "Visionary" Bag 

A sock with a heel is a little harder to digest for me but I am swiftly acquiring a taste.

The trend has been back in full force on the runways since 2009 but started (As all "trends" do) much earlier.
