My recent obsession is thigh high socks (I plan on doing a post with different ways to wear them!). I think they're so flattering with the right outfit and can look really classy. Because it's FREEZING here, I layered them over top a pair of patterned black tights to give me some extra warmth. I wore a black skater skirt and white sweater to keep it simple. I also added a checkered black/white scarf, again, to get some extra layers. To give the illusion of longer legs, match your shoes with the color of your socks! It's seen as a whole unit together and shows extra length. Of course I wanted that, so I threw on some black booties. I also applied red matte lipstick and carried a red bag (not pictured, of course) to give it a little pop. 

Hope you're staying warm too!
