Get a load of this: I, with the crafting dexterity of a swollen foot, DIY-ed something. Nevertheless, even my low-levelled sewing skills were sufficient to unlock this shiny new item in my wardrobe: frilly socks! Actually, perhaps it would be more accurate to describe them as a returning item rather than a new one. My clothes drawer was once awash with frilly socks, but alas - that was ten years ago and they have all been lost to time.
I do remember where one pair went. Once my sister was in a rush to go somewhere important, and was in dire need of some white socks. So, right in front of her, I deliberately ignored all the plain white socks as I dug around in my drawer, to obtain the silliest and frilliest socks to lend to her. Because making one's big sister wear frilly socks is Such Fun.

The crisp white lace is very good at showing up how off-white my Converse are!

I had two lengths of these frills from the haberdashery in the market, which were just perfect for sewing onto these ankle socks, which are from Primark. It took a little practice trying to get the tensions right, because I underestimated the difference in elasticity between the socks and the frills, but I am immensely proud of myself for sewing something on my own.
I quickly whipped up an outfit with my socks and tartan dress (which, one day, I will stop harping on about,) but that's for another day. In the meantime, feast your eyes upon the crisp white lacy frilly socks LB has to offer. I really love them with ankle boots and brogues.
Cute socks, lovely.
