Yes. I, Judith, am writing again on the blog.
I know, crazy. How long it's been? I'm actually going to check, I'm curious. BRB.
Okay, since August 2018... That's bad... I'm sorry. I would say I am going to try to write again more on the blog but I would be lying so... I won't say anything, won't compromise to anything and just get on with this post smoothly, as if nothing strange had happened.
This is completely normal. Just keep going.
SO! Back with another shopping post!
I've had this crazy obsession with socks on real life lately. I love a good pair of socks, they're so much fun, they're cheap and they bring an original vibe to your outfit. In real life they are perfect for spicing things up without having to invest a lot in cool or trendy clothes, but in stardoll are they really necessary? We have bigger closets, with a lot more clothes and a lot more of special extravagant items that make a statement just by themselves, why would we need a pair of socks?
Well, it's true, we don't really NEED them in stardoll, but they are still fun and they still look cute. And if you don't agree, hopefully I can make you change your mind after this post.
The offer of socks in Starplaza is... Mmm... What can I say? It could be better. I mean, if you go to the catalogue and check the number of items under the category "Socks" it's just 47. Take off some pairs from Antidote that you cannot longer buy and the ones for male dolls that you're not going to be able to use and you're left with a not that wide variety to choose from if you want to be picky. And the designs are all quite similar, we can count the special different ones with the fingers of one hand. But still, if you are a sock-lover like me you will still be able to find some good pairs for not a very high price. This is my selection.
If you are a member of FM-Style and have been following Cycle 16 you may know already about my love for socks, since we made a task from it. If you're not a member I don't know what you're waiting for to join to be honest...

We are about to post task 7 and we've got very cool and fun tasks ahead.
But back to socks, the thing is they can be the detail that makes your outfit go from cool to WOW. And the contestants proved it giving us entries like these ones:
In order of appearance: Roose (ClemenceMoss), judge Marta (Marta-43), Sandra (dobrapogoda) and Seda (Serqet).
I don't think I can make a better job than them, but I guess that for it to be a decent Shopping post I should put a little effort and bring you some outfits, plus it can be a nice opportunity to show you some socks I own from previous collections in Stardoll.
So here, doing my duty, I present you my three takes on socks.
1. The Gossip Girl school uniform.
Doesn't this kind of long socks with the stripes on top remind you of Blair and Serena wearing their uniforms to school in their own styles with their heels or boots, designer bags and headbands?
Spotted on the stardoll blogosphere.
Headed towards TheSSS.
Is it possible?
Is Judith_25 back?
The show might be a bit old, but its style and fashion still remains and with the right items you can still manage to look as cool as their stars.
2. The Sporty Spice.
The sport vibes with socks come as easily as the school uniform. They go perfectly with sneakers, in fact, sneakers+socks are one of my favourite combinations. They make each other better, like a good marriage. It's like if one sock said to the other:
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta get with my friends
*points sneakers*
Because the joke might be bad but it's completely true: sneakers look better with socks, a pair of socks looks better with sneakers.
3. The 21st century Cinderella.
If Cinderella had worn socks with her crystal shoes to the ball with the prince, maybe she would still have lost a shoe, but she would have looked a lot cooler for sure.
I love as well a more fancy take on socks, combining them with all kind of heels, stilettos, sandals... you name it! And honestly I think mixing them with transparent shoes is great, you can barely see the shoes so the socks get all the attention.
What do you think of socks? Do you like them? Do you use them?
Feel free to share your takes on socks with us on the comments section!
If I feel creative enough I might give them a little tittle ;)
