Prada stockings

[ShuggaStiletto]

^I've never worn them so I don't know how thick they are or anything, but in my personal opinion I think simple round ballet flats or some kind of plain pump would look great. If you had gray stockings (is that the color they come in?) then I think a great bright blue classic pump would look very funky and cool!

I found ballet flats w/the socks just make my legs look really short.

I need a heel, but I don't like wedges...

Thanks for the tip.

these are awesome. i am jealous of anyone who can pull them off!

pucci mama i'll think that some cute 2-3 inch heel pumps would do the trick try those bright blues as shugga suggested

So far I only tried my Kors Newton wedges and Oh deer Marilyns (CL Bruge knockoffs) with them and both work fine. I have grey suede ankle boots that I'm thiking of which might work as well with them and my black Manolo ankle boots (although I didn't try them yet). I have a black bubble skirt that I would wear with them. Basically any skirt could work (unless it is too long).

^ That sounds nice. I like the idea with ankle boots and bubble skirt

Anyone know if the non-ribbed ones are in stores?

 

[Velony]

I'm pretty sure they have them in stock. I don't think they sold out as fast the ribbed ones.

^thanks! hoping to find some this weekend.

I was at prada BH last night while on my vacation (got 2 things! ) and they had tons of both of the stockings on the maiquins, I'm not sure if they can take them off.

I saw those same mannequins too with my husband a while back - they didn't have any in stock (ribbed or non) and i told my husband "okay, you grab one mannequin leg and i'll grab the other and we'll throw the money at the security guard (so it wouldn't be stealing), and run!" =D ....i wonder what they'll do with those on the mannequins, maybe the SA's will have first dibs?

 

[Velony]

Exactly my thoughts when I went there a couple of weeks ago and asked for the ribbed stockings. When the SA told me they were sold out I really wanted to ask her if she couldn't take them off of the mannequins and what they were going to do with them afterwards. Unfortunately I didn't and bought the non-ribbed ones instead. Are they at least getting the non-ribbed ones back?

I love the grey.

If you want the same look, I would go to the school department of John Lewis or somewhere like that.

Obviously not the same, but you'll get a similar colour.

I really want a grey pair preferably ribbed but I'd take non-ribbed as well. They didn't have any left at Prada rome when I went there.. they wouldn't get more in grey, but in black, I was told.. I really want grey

 

[sanura]

^ Sorry to hear that, I don't know why they wouldn't restock grey ones since they are so popular. I am actually considering getting the black ones now- great for the fall. Check ebay if you really like one, I got a ribbed pair there awhile back.

I am wearing mine today

 

[Velony]

GG, curious to know what you are wearing them with!

 

[Guessgirl96]

I'm wearing the top version of this dress, a blue skirt and the magenta x strap shoes..

That sounds so fab. Any chance that you could take a pic of you wearing the outfit? Sometimes I see something on the runway and just have no idea how that would work on a real person.

Just took a pic, but I have to wait until I get home tommorow morning to upload it. I'm always a bit self consious posting pics cuase of my size The outfit really isnt perfect, the skirt could be better but it was the best out of the ones I have. Overall though I was happy with it
