Over-the-Knee Obsession

Fifteen years ago I went to the theatre with my mom to see Clueless and fell in love with the movie. It was right around the time I was seguing out of my TLC baggy clothes syndrome.

Can you imagine?

Yes, I used to wear oversized jeans, timberland boots, Jordans, Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren men’s shirts, well more like little boys’ sizes for my small frame.

I saw Clueless and immediately wanted to interject more girlie and feminine looks to my wardrobe. I became obsessed with mini skirts that were pleated and/or plaid, cutesy cardigans, brightly colored shoes, and I couldn’t get enough of thigh high and over-the-knee socks in shocking colors. We’re talking neon green.

Fast-forward to the year 2010 and I still have a love affair with mini skirts, thigh-high and over-the-knee socks, especially this fall season. But the grown up Misha has dropped the neon green socks for shades of gray, brown and black.
As the weather gets a bit chillier, socks that go above the knee allow me to continue showing a bit of skin while remaining warm and chic at the same time. I for one do not believe in sacrificing warmth for fashion, even when wearing short skirts. This is a great way to not have to do that!So as the weather continues to transition I am looking to stock my sock drawer with more over-the-knee and thigh-high socks in heavy weights and other dark colors.

So for that preppy school girl vibe, add a pair of over-the-knee socks with your boots or oxfords this season.
American Apparel $15, Urban Outfitters $14.00, Express $12.90,Lori $16.00
Here's a pair from Topshop that I WANT and NEED in my sock drawer for winter ASAP! I love the thickness of this pair. Who needs to wear pants when you have these?!
