Lerrve me some delicious leg candy!  These outfit-popping leg-ccessorries, with their attention grabbing colors and artistic prints, promise to make any outfit stand out from the crowd.

The first two looks are styled with socks by Sweet Marcel.  These adorable prints and colors are available in anklet, knee-high, and thigh-high styles.  It may look like I had way too much fun cleaning out an entire store’s sock inventory…I wish I was that much of a shopaholic.  I’m a rep for the brand, which means I have the pleasure of sharing these sure-to-please styles with local boutiques and curious fashionable onlookers.  To find a location to purchase these sweet socks, click here (off the top of my head, I know they are available in Alexandria and Richmond).

The last look is styled with quirky hosiery known as “tattoo” tights.  These are printed with anything from loads of tiny stars to one gigantic Minnie Mouse.. and some are just plain amusing.

Following each batch of leg candy, below, is a quick roundup of similar versions and where you can find them.

Available for purchase from this post— (brand new) tattoo tights:  1 mustache-OMG pair; 2 machine-gun print pairs; 1 cat design pair.  Find them in Shop!

In keeping with the “leg candy” theme, these scrumptious little Sweet Marcel sockies ended up as the main course of my picnic (zero cal!).

What I love about these mock thigh highs is that you never have to worry about them sliding down your leg…no more constant tugging to keep them in place.

 

 

This pair might cause some double-takes..
