These “Batty Net Stockings” were another item I received in the “box of socks” from Miss Rebeckah but haven’t actually worn out of the house yet. I just tried them on with the sexy garter dress for pictures. I actually had to look them up on the web page cuz I didn’t remember ever seeing them. The bats are adorable and the satin bows are cute as well!!

These are the nicer stronger fishnets, like the Showgirl Pantyhose ones, that feel more almost plasticy than nylon. When I wore those hose with boots it got too tight on my legs after wearing them for hours and left me looking like a ham afterwards. But the next time I wore them they were better so I guess they just take one wearing to stretch to your size. Plus I think the boots had something to do with that anyways, I’d imagine they’re just fine without that extra layer pulling them closer to your legs. I didn’t wear THESE with boots but I’d assume it’s the same type of thing.

You can better see the cute little bats and bows in that shot! Also the toe seam is such that my toes didn’t slip out of the holes while I was wearing them so that’s always a plus. And they stayed up just fine without being too tight or needing garters.

So I went out to the local bar as usual Friday night and this is the outfit that I wore: A blue and white Striped racer back tank from Forever 21, with black cheerleader skirt (also Forever 21) and Black Skater Socks with Blue Stripes with my Black Converse LowTops.

Got a bunch of compliments from new people last night. People seem to just always love the socks!!

As usual, I love the black Skater Socks even better than the white ones just cuz you don’t see them too often. They stayed up awesome with no problems the whole night.

So I featured these a few posts back in the green and black. But then I got a box of socks from Miss Rebeckah a few weeks ago and have finally gotten around to wearing some of the stuff in it, and these were the pair I was most excited about! They’re the OTK Sourpuss skulls and stripes in pink.

This is the outfit I ended up wearing out to the club the other night. The sweater is new from Forever 21 and the skirt is from DEB and it’s the first time I’ve worn it out since it finally fits again and the socks made it warm enough. The boots are old from Fashion Bug. The pink pair seems to be stretchier than the green and black stripes were. They both go up about as high but these had less trouble and stayed up there better.

I could even force them up a little higher but then the heels would move off of where they were supposed to be so they probably wouldn’t stay that well like that. I don’t think I had to really pull them up at all even when I was dancing around at the club and again at the local bar by the end of the night. And all my friends thought the outfit was really cute, got a bunch of compliments from everyone else too!

This post is the first to also include a little video blog from me!! It’s a little shaky and my voice trails off a little at the end (I was saying they stayed up well the whole night at the club…) but I think I’ll get more comfortable and better at them the more I do them. Tried to embed it right here in the blog but WordPress just wouldn’t let that work right, so Check it out on YouTube instead.

So I got these as a wish list purchase a while ago but haven’t actually worn them out of the house yet, although I almost did twice, damn weather! They’re beautiful Royal Blue N40’s!!

The shirt I wanted to wear them with is also Royal blue and is a recent purchase from Forever 21. They’re not quite the exact same color but it’s close and they don’t look bad together. It was just cold and rainy and I was going out so I didn’t feel like wearing the outfit.

Un-cuffed they go ALL THE WAY up my legs and would likely stay there no problem! I love how the tops of these feel especially, I wish the whole thing felt as soft. I bet if they come out with Ribbed N’s and made them just like the tops of these they’d be a HUGE seller because they’d fit an awesome range more comfortably I bet. Not too big on how they look on the inside of the tops, but I just make sure the outside is showing when I cuff them down just over my knees and it’s totally not a problem. They’re nylon (thus the N in N40’s) so they’re tighter throughout the legs than I remember the M40’s being, but they stretch a lot better too. And the colors, from what I can tell by having just one pair and pictures I’ve seen of others, are so bold and bright I’m loving it! Definitely plan on picking up some more pairs someday!
