its official..

the shoe/ sock combo, that is. i noticed it in a j crew catalog about a year ago. thought.. ohh im a sock girl, really love that look. but, the real question is.. can i pull it off??  i planned my christmas outfit around a pair of crew socks and open-toed heels. i walked out ready to go and the reactions, lets just say.. were not very positive. at all.  most of my family thought i was joking around trying to be silly.. haha, not really the reaction i was going for. so, i chickened out. who knows, maybe people are doing this more up north?  it definitely hasnt hit florida yet..so anyway, i saw a ton of pictures on pinterest today.. and well, folks its official. im going to do it. we will see if i can pull it off or not. either way, its happening.   anyway, here is a pic of one that i love:
