How to wear knee high socks

Btw the 3 pairs of socks i bought are knee high socks..LOL..
I don't really know how to wear them actually...LOL..
Oh well i can always goggles...LOL..

This is what i found:

Do's and Don'ts for Wearing Knee High Socks

Follow these do's and avoid these don'ts to pull of this tricky look.



Do

Wear them with short skirts if you are thin and fit. This look flatters long, lean body types and can draw attention to great legs.

Pair them with a dress and Mary Janes for a more adult look.

Wear socks under boots to create an interesting, layered look. Add a dress and long cardigan for a hip, sophisticated affect.

Make a statement with an over-the-knee sock.

Wear them with long skirts if you want to stay warm but avoid the bulk of tights. It is nice not to have an added layer around your waist.

Make knee highs a wardrobe staple to transition your look in the spring and fall.

Wear sheer, lighter colored styles for spring.

Opt for dark, solid neutrals if your legs are less than perfect. Remember patterned stockings make legs look heavier.

Choose a chevron design, metallic sheen or argyle pattern if you want to appear youthful and fun.

Soak your stockings in detergent. The leather on your shoes can stain light colors and sheer styles around the ankles, heels and toes.

Avoid sausage legs. Take care that the band at the top of your knee highs doesn't cut into your skin.

Don't

Tug at socks and pull them up in public. No one looks comfortable in clothes they are constantly adjusting.

Wear white stockings with winter clothes. If it doesn't work for shoes, it doesn't work for socks.

Create a costume by pairing them with a pleated skirt, oxford shoes and a white blouse. Leave the uniform to the high school girls.

Wear short skirts and knee socks to the office. Save this look for the weekend.

Wear these socks with flat shoes. The result is too masculine.

Wear knee socks, or any socks for that matter, with strappy sandals.

Pile on too many trends at once. It's easy to go from style maven to fashion victim if you wear too many faddish items together.

Wear knee highs with shorts. Save that look for the men in Bermuda.
( i saw jap gals wearing like that, and i found it to be really cute..LOL..)
Sport tube socks off the field or outside of the gym.

Wear knee socks with kilts unless you are playing a bagpipe.

Happy 2010

The first day of 2010...

I went to catch 2 movies today, back to back...LOL

Watched Old dogs and Bodyguards And Assassins

Old dogs
2 great actors in a show, Robin Williams and John Travolta
There are abit of story line and plenty of laughters in the show.
Its about 2 best friends Robin Williams and John Travolta trying to clinch a big business deal and taking care of Robin Williams 6years old kids.  I will give the show 3 stars out of 5.
Bodyguards And Assassins

Very many great actors in the show, i will say its a big production not in term of setting n probes but in term of actors. A very male show, full of male actors n plenty of actions.


Its about a group of guys trying to protect Dr. Sun Yat-sen while he visite Hong Kong.

All the guys involved put in 100% to do their job, but its quite interesting that they did it for very diverse reasons. Common aim but for different reasons. I feel that some didn’t even really understand what is happening… But they did their job.


Some of the characters are:

Nicholas Tse : The servant. I don’t think he understand what’s going on, he just want to help his master out. A loyal guy, not to Dr Sun but to his master.
Donnie Yen Ji Dan: The policeman. He will do anything for money but for this mission he is in because of his love for his daughter

Leon Lai: The beggar. He’s in because he needs a reason to die.
Tony Leung Ka-Fai: The newspaper editor who is among the few in the group that know exactly what he is doing.

Bags n more bags

I have not being getting alot of makeup lately as i spend most of my money on cloths n bags...
Bought 3 bags lately n my sis give me a bag too... we bought them online from

http://www.pgmall.sg/

I'm too lazy to take pic of my bags so i got the pic from the web site that i bought the bags

These are the bags i bought:


This is a black bag Cost $15, the material is quite hard and my sis think it look like real leather as its crumpled.. Hahaha... i have not used it yet so not sure if the quality is good.



The 2nd bag that i bought is this pink one @$15, i have being using it for 1 week and that means its of reasonable quality.. LOL.. i'm not good at taking care of bags. Those GWP bags i got over the counter usually last me only 1 or 2 days.. Yes!!! LOL.. so i'm super satisfied with the quality of this bag.. LOL..


The bag is pretty big and can hold a lot of things. I pull the draw strings up a bit to make the bag look smaller, I preferred this look than the one in the picture above.




The 3rd bag was a disappointment, it look nicer one the pic. Plus its the most flimsy among the 4 bags. Its $17, should have gotten darker tone one. The actual  bag is of much lighter tone than the pic.
I really like the colour of the bag in the pic, but unfortunatelly the actuasl thing is not tat nice.
I have not used it yet, hope its tougher than it look..LOL..




The 4th bags is a gift fro my sis, its $20plus and it stink.. LOL..

I’m airing it now, hope I can get rid of the smell.. But the inner lining was make of a very thick fabric, I’m pretty sure it will be quite hardly, plus its quite big. I’m hopping to use it for my Melaka trip on xmas.. LOL..

My sis bought 3 bags for herself too
