Cozy Cuties

Are your toesies freezing in your fashion boots? I know that I personally have this problem especially in the frigid weather of New England. Recently I found the perfect solution to this problem while shopping with my friends. I was browsing the aisles of my local TJ Maxx, and I stumbled across the cutest pair of knit socks. The purpose of these socks is to keep your feet and legs warm while you wear a pair of your favorite leather heeled boots.

Instead of splurging on a pair of new Uggs for the warmth factor invest in a pair of knit socks. These socks are designed to add warmth to any pair of shoes and they look great with any outfit. Try neutral colors such as brown, gray and white because these colors go well with all outfits. If you feel like adding some color to an outfit then try a neon version. Remember that in order to have fun and be confident you have to own your style.

I have recently become obsessed with reading magazines such as Marie Claire, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan. One of the observations I have made while reading them is that the fashion accessories and clothing they feature in their articles are extremely expensive. Glancing through the pages I came across a page devoted to pea coats in Marie Claire but was suddenly crushed when I saw the prices of the ones they featured in the magazine. The cheapest jacket they featured was $955!

Recently my feet have been freezing in the new equestrian boots I got for Christmas so I have set out to find affordable knit boot socks. While doing my research I discovered that designer brands have the audacity to charge up to $50 for a pair of socks! I was blown away and decided to find cheaper versions that offer the same quality. Read on my fellow readers and be prepared to score amazing deals.

Splurge VS. Bargain

Splurge:

Etsy
If you are looking for a cute but warm look then definitely go for these boot socks. They add a touch of girly essence to any outfit, and complement any color boot. You can find these online at Etsy.com for $32. They are a bit of a splurge, but if you want something that will last for future years then the money is well worth it. The material that these boot socks are made out of are acrylic and cotton, which means that your feet are less likely to sweat and produce a foul odor.



Target
Bargain:

Let your wild side shine with these fierce zebra inspired boot socks. Not only will your toes and legs be toasty warm, but your wallet will be fuller as well. If zebra isn't your style, don't worry Target has a ton of selections to choose from including leopard, black, yellow, and pink to name a few. To find these socks either go to Target.com or to your nearest Target store and you will only have to part with a $10 dollar bill. Happy shopping!
