More Boot Socks...Oops!

I'm so sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record here, but I made some more boot socks.

I just couldn't help myself. After wearing my lacey boot socks out and about, I knew I needed to make some sweater ones. I mean, I just had to.

So, I took an old sweater that didn't fit well anymore, and made me some socks...Well, maybe more like leg warmers.



First, I gathered my sweater.
Then, I cut off the arms.
After that, I put the arms on my legs over my socks (like leg warmers!)
And last, I folded the top over to the length I wanted (this also helped them be a little more "chunky")

After that, all I needed to do was put on my boots and I was good to go!

(ignore the ugly tile back there that looks like a dead mouse or something. Sick. I swear it's not)

I love how warm these are, and that they add a little bit of texture to my otherwise bland outfit.
I can't wait to head to a thrift shop and snatch up a really chunky and colorful sweater to make some boot socks out of (but, don't worry! I'll spare you the details.)



Thanks for reading!

  4. Oh I like these! I have a purple sweater that doesn't fit me after I had the baby, I'm totally going to make it into leg warmers so my black leggings don't look so blah with my black boots!
