We're kicking off the new, improved SmartLassy with a week's worth of one of our favorite things ... socks! We love knee socks (just look at our logo) and leg warmers, especially those that stand out and demand attention. So, without further ado, we bring you today's item ... Black skull legwarmers! Legs feeling a little cold these days? Want to warm up AND put off a cheefully creepy vibe? These are for you.
$4.95

Nothing wards off the cold like a pair of knee socks, especially if they eminate warm, funky colors that will help chase off the seasonal affective blues. Beware, though. For some reason, whenever I wear mine, people stop me on the street and say, "Hey, you know who you remind me of? Pippi Longstocking." It's just something you'll have to deal with, but it's totally worth it.

Some people say that cats are evil. While I wouldn't go so far as to say MY cats are evil, they are a little on the passive-aggressive side. Unfortunately, I can't find "Passive-Aggressive Kitten" socks, and anyway, these socks rock. Maybe you want to wear them because you live with an evil kitten, or maybe you want to wear them to let the world know that you ARE an evil kitten. Meow, you sexy thang.

It's a bit hard to describe these socks. Army green with red stars? Looks, maybe, a little commie?

The socks are just enough to make me feel unique and cover up against the cold. These socks are thick and warm and comfortable and have great heel support. Size is 9-11, and they're made of 80% cotton, 13% spandex, and 7% rubber. And they can be yours today for $5.25 with $1 shipping *.

Argyle isn't always synonymous with "cool." It conjures up images of conservative men's sweaters or maybe a worn old cardigan. But cute, unique argyle? In a legwarmer, in teal and pink, no less?

Yes, yes, 'tis the season for polar fleece to keep the chill off the neck. But let me ask you this? Would you wear a fleecy scarf to a party? Can your trusty, warm scarf double as an accessory?

Hey there, Long Jane Stockinglover! Do your legs go all the way down the street and come back with a newspaper and a cup of coffee? These are for you, because they're extra-long, like that line your legs waited in at the corner coffeeshop behind that type-A businessman who complained that his latte was supposed to be 150 degrees, but it came out at 160, which was totally unacceptable. In that situation, if you were wearing these socks, you could kick that guy, and he'd forever remember the day he got his shins bruised by the lady in pink stripey socks. Fits size 9-11. Made of 70% cotton, 10% nylon, 18% spandex, and 2% rubber.

And as for you SmartLassies who live in places warm enough to wear these now, we'll set aside our jealousy and hope these colorful, beaded foot thongs will make you look as gorgeous as we know you are. $4.75 each in your choice of 7 styles .
