Sock Puppets

The ankle-socks-with-open-toed-heels trend is one of the sweetest, sexiest things buzzing right now. It looks especially cute with t-straps, like in this Zac Posen for Target look, or with a high, stacked wedge. Just like over-the-knee socks are used to create the illusion of vampy boots, lightweight socks and heels or wedges bring a little edge to pretty dresses (Alexa Chung's Acne Atacoma boots are edgy enough, on their own, though, as the $600 pair sold out DAYS after she wore them on her show.) The key is not to get it Ugly Betty wrong; no neon colors or matching socks with shoes, please. You should realize that there is a sock there. I also don't like the way high socks look pulled up over jeans or tights (it looks like the wearer escaped from a roller rink in 1972), so let's keep this strictly a skirt trend.
