It is true, you have to have nice legs to pull them off. I have big calves and can not pull it off .I find that girls with twiggy legs look fab in knee high socks.That second girl looks great in the socks but it shows that you need killer legs to pull them off!
I bought her this thick grey boiled wool jumper. It was sleveless, with a round neck, the bottom flaired out slightly and was a bit below mid thigh. I bought her 2 black bodysuits- a turtle neck and a round neck one. I bought her 2 over the knee opeque socks- grey and black and some flat lace up "field" ankle boots. It was an adorable outfit. Not too cute, not too sexy, not to punky, not school girly- not to much anything- just a bit of all... Everytime she wore it she got compliments and everyone said- "Your husband has such good taste. I wish mine was like that." I never told them all were from J Crew- I just bought everything the catalog model had on.
