I think I would like this outfit better without the socks. This whole outfit - socks - headband, would be good for any occasion, I think.

Anna - this may be whackadoodle - but sooo much fun! Brought a smile to
my face!

I love that floral crown.

Lol, on the too much tho. I have been contemplating the topic of fashion boundaries all weekend. Or more specifically, what would push them. I'm not sure if there are boundaries in the immediate vicinity of my domicile. At work yes; in my neighborhod, I don't know.

ETA: So what would you remove?

So much sock-hating, ladies!

What about different socks? Since I run cold, and was shivering just reading of your patio plans, I'd have been tempted by smartwool or similar:

I'm another non sock and sandal fan, but I've worn the same look myself, because sometimes you just need warm feet. And socks with sandals does remind me of Japanese style where they pair socks with flip flop style shoes. And the flower pants, also nod to a Japanese look, those are great pants and I echo that it will be sad when they go.
