I was talking to Mike last night, and I was asking him which outfit was his favorite so far. He listed off a couple and then brought up the outfit with the knee socks. He said as much as liked it, he said it would be cool to see them paired with my navy blue skirt. This outfit immediately came to mind, in which he agreed, so today’s outfit is a play off of the original knee sock ensemble. I layered the blue wool skirt over top the black dress, used different socks, and took a more casual approach this time around by layering a bit more and untucking the button-down. But overall, I’m a fan of this look. School girl-meets-beatnik.

Somehow, the way people are wearing kneesocks this winter has shaken off the schoolgirl aesthetic for me. Now they just seem chic, without the reference. But that’s a good thing I think.

LOVE this outfit. So many fun things going on: the knee socks, the flirty double skirt, the plaid and stripes together, the jacket, the hat, the great mix of colors. All great individually and the overall look is great!
