How to Wear Over the Knee Socks Over 40: Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #23

November 17, 2016 / 74 Comments

A few weeks ago, I received a reader request for another outfit featuring over the knee socks. The request actually came from a man who would like his over-40 wife to wear OTK socks more often and feel comfortable in them. You can read the original OTK sock post here.

I am a huge fan of OTK socks with dresses or skirts. It has been one of my favorite trends since I was in high school. I went through a period of time where I felt “too old” to wear this style. But I have since changed my mind and I wear whatever the heck I want!

I also am loving this 70’s inspired sueded shift dress trend that is popular right now. And of course, blanket scarves are always a must for cool fall weather. What better way to combine all these trends into one outfit than with these fabulous autumn tones!

Jaymie of Shop Your Closet with Jaymie Ashcraft sported the most adorable graphic tee in her Denim on Denim post. This is such a perfect look for fall. Well done, Jaymie! Thanks for inspiring us.

Susan of Over 50 Under 20 shared her Style Journey with us all as she brilliantly explains how she “passed through the “wear what everyone else is wearing” stage, the “too poor and too young to care” stage, the “comfortable mom” stage, the “Florida tacky” stage, and the “newly arrived in Georgia” stage.” Such a fun post! Thanks, Susan, for sharing your journey with us and keeping us inspired!
