Leg It Up!

Can I just say... again... how much I love fall! Can I also say how much I still LOVE my Zara boots I purchased last week and can't wait until the days become a little cooler and I can wear them!  The best part... the options of what to wear them with are endless but I'm thinking I need to find the perfect skinny jean for the best effect. That was until I walked by Fancy Sox this morning!

What immediately caught my eye was the knee-sox hanging on the wall, so of course I had to go in! Once in, I stood in the centre of the store and took in the view... floor to ceiling, wall to wall, PERFECTLY aligned hosiery in every beautiful colour, style and material you can imagine! Seriously, the merchandising alone at Fancy Sox is truly remarkable! It just also happened to be 'new merchandise day' and being the fashion scavenger that I am, I began riffling the boxes which is where I found these Hue brand leggings in denim (studded and non-studded) and snake print (pictured above), cable-knit, faux-leather, splatter paint nylons, polka-dot tights... the list goes on and on!

Here's what I'm picturing... the snake print leggings, with the sand colour knee-high sox with my new over-the-knee boots!!! Hooray for fall and for layering! Now I just need to go around the Centre to find the perfect top and my outfit is complete. I'm thinking a long, cable-knit sweater of some sort?! I will keep you all posted...
