Frilly Socks For Fall
Kim Logee

Well, friends, this week the topic is frilly socks.

It's the first week it's been barely cool enough to wear my new frilly socks (and also sweaters, which I probably shouldn't have worn yet, but I wore them anyway and suffered for the sake of coziness). In case the world has not already aligned to convince you that frilly socks are the best, allow me to do so for you now! As I've said before, autumn is the season for detail and texture, chunky knits, intricate embroidery, and funky patterns. Frilly socks fit perfectly into the autumn-fashion-category and are my go-to socks for fall.

Here I've put together some tips for wearing frilly socks.


The most important thing to remember when donning frilly socks is controlling their exuberant girly-ness. Of course, girly clothes are super fun! But I try to avoid outfits that fit too easily into a single category (like "girly"), in order to avoid feeling like I'm wearing a costume.

In this case, paring them with leather lace-up heels and black mom jeans felt just about right to me. It provides a great opportunity to transition summer heels to the colder weather, and the heavy denim felt like it balanced the lacy socks.


As pictured here, there's something perfect about the combination of oxfords and frilly socks. Add to that some ridiculously chill boyfriend jeans, and you have an awesome outfit! In this case, because there was so much detail in everything else I was wearing, I chose a long, simple, dark blue sweater for a top.

Now, with all this knowledge in mind, I encourage you to try some frilly socks yourself! They make almost any outfit feel fun and artsy. Embrace the frilly sock life!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
