It felt funny wearing them "exposed" for the first time, but I didn't mind flashing them when I sat (and I did show them to anyone who would look, haha). I will wear them again more deliberately exposed, I'm sure.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-6207252635447162742010-12-02T13:09:58.769-08:002010-12-02T13:09:58.769-08:00Those knee highs are anything but old ladyish!!

The first time I bought knee-highs (last year), I felt the exact same way: like an old woman too lazy to wear pantyhose any more.

I think the skirt length is perfect, very flattering. The socks are amazing - they look great and appear to be very cosy too.
