The joy of great socks
Answer Angel talks readers below immediate sock distress, wedding wear issues and also make-up problems
Dear Julie: I can't aid myself. In the gym, on the road, in the privacy of your own home they're still an awful appearance and also make anybody's legs look stumpy. No one is paying interest to your sock marks, so you need not fret concerning them.
1. Use gym garments that cover your calf bones!
2. Remove the socks well before you most likely to the fitness center to offer the marks time to vanish.
3. Buy socks that don't leave marks. These do exist! An Internet search for "non-binding women's socks" or "women's diabetic knee highs (or socks)" will certainly get you just what you want (even though you're not diabetic). Look into footsmart.com or therawear.com, amongst many options.
Precious Response Angel: I am at a loss concerning what shade trouser socks to use with off-white pants and what color leggings to use with a beige skirt. I have attempted off-white socks and they look as well bright while brown looks too dark. Off-white socks usually clash with the pants.

Dear Lindsay: You're right. Bare legs are the very best option (if you take pride in the means your legs look). Weather-wise that's not always manageable. Your next ideal selection with your off-white (or tan or khaki) clothes would certainly be black shoes (with large black leg wear). But that's not your question. You ask exactly what leg wear with brownish or navy shoes. I asked Susan Swimmer, the style specialist at Even more publication to evaluate in on this one. She states opt for the navy footwears (not brown) as well as suggests navy sheer trouser leg wear with the beige pants or navy large hose with the off-white skirt. "Nontransparent looks excessive like Catholic school attire garments and opaque would be also hefty a look with a tan base. It would drop you like an anchor."
As for hosiery/shoes regulations, Swimmer states it's "old reasoning" that footwears should match your leg wear. "I enjoy grey pipe with navy footwears. I like emerald tube with chocolate shoes etc." (Angel is clapping and also wing flapping at those combinations!).
Precious Answer Angel: Is one ever before also old to put on socks of any kind of elevation with a skirt?
-- Deborah.
Precious Deborah: Yes. Absolutely. Knee highs are a school-girl look not wonderful for ladies over 30ish. Fashion blog sites as well as magazines feature saggy ankle socks with footwears from flats to heels used with outfits and also skirts. Do not go there. Nonetheless, a vivid or nubby sock folded over the top of a boot or bootie is a great try to find a lot of us. Traditional anklets with a level connection shoe also work in a lot of instances. As in all clothing, the mirror is your best friend. And, when unsure, do not.
Beloved Response Angel: I took a trip to a wedding event lately as well as uncovered as I was obtaining all set (as well as running late) that I 'd neglected my eyeliner, as well as I look like a melted candle light without it. I didn't have time to run to the pharmacy as well as pawed through my (minimal) make-up for an emergency replacement as well as discovered none.
-- J. M.
Precious J.M.: I had the same problem when I uncovered my eye liner had actually run out to nothingness and no quantity of water would bring it back to life and no store nearby. I dipped my eye liner brush in my mascara as well as it functioned flawlessly. If you had dark eye shadow in your bag, a moist (not damp) brush on that additionally would work. While we get on the subject, Bobbi Brown long-wear gel eye liner is my present fave. It's expensive ($ 23) but one small pot has lasted me more than 6 months. When it's gone I'm going to try the $9.99 Maybelline eye workshop enduring dramatization gel eye liner to see if it's a deserving (cheaper) replacement.
