Recently Linda over at
Struggles of a Creative Mind challenged me to sport a
JCrew-inspired ensemble featuring bright socks! I don't have any neon socks, so I kind of cheated with this burgundy pair. Drawing inspiration from the JCrew photos, I put together a ruffly blouse, structured blazer, distressed denim, dainty peep-toes and of course the socks. I think I like the outfit with white socks better. What do you guys think?
Thanks for thinking of me, Linda. It was fun! If I acquire any neon socks, I will definitely put together another look.
Blouse: Rebecca Taylor, thrifted, $23 // Blazer: Vintage Levi's, thrifted, $1.50 // Jeans: Almost Famous, TJMaxx, $20 // Shoes: Lela Rose for Payless

Cute, I like it!
Maybe pink socks to match the blouse?
I like it much better with the red socks! Looks really cute!!
I actually think I like it best with the maroon socks! What a great, creative look.
SUPER cute!
i too like it better with the first pair of socks, but i know sometimes things look different in real life than in photographs!
i agree with the others - the red is more unexpected! but if it were me id probably wear the white haha i tend to tone things down. love the top with that blazer!
love it, definately look for some bright pink or even green socks, so cute!
I also like the red socks best. Great outfit!
I love the red socks, too! It adds an unexpected touch much like the neon in the JCREW catalog.
WOOT WOOT! Thanks for taking the challenge!
I like the burgundy socks best too... I knew you could rock this!
Seriously though keep your eyes open for the neon ones because you can definatly pull it off.
You can totally pull this off! I love the red socks!
Only 4 more days!!!!!!
Wow, so very cute! I like the red best. Can I ask how you do your hair like that? It's fantastic!
Thanks, everyone!
I'm glad you all like the red socks best because that's the outfit I actually wore. :)

I put my hair into two low pigtails, braid one and pin it on top of my head with bobby pins. Braid the other, use it to cover up where I pinned the first braid, tuck the end of it into the first braid and pin it into place. I always have to use a lot of pins, and it usually looks a little messy. It helps to have a lot of length.
i like the outfit both ways. i'm privy to the bright socks for some reason.
I think the red socks look amazing.... I was sad when I kept scrolling and found plain ole white socks! Rock the RED!!!!
I love the one with the red socks, they look so different, dnt know whether I will be able to wear something like this or not but it looks damn good on you. love the color of the blazer and the blouse.
