Socks and Dress and Shoes

I have finished one of the jury duty socks, and am past the gusset in the second one, so this should be a pair of socks very soon.

I am very taken with this yarn and colorway. Patons Kroy FX.

And I went shopping on a whim and came away with a new dress, or maybe I should just say a dress, because I actually only have one dress in my closet, and it is many years old. A woman should have a dress, don't you think? This one is a little, as Sam says, "Hade," meaning bright, showy in Japanese. Yeah, it is that. But I like it.


Actually what inspired the dress purchase was that I bought these sandals yesterday, quite pricey, but an amazing amalgam of sexy strappiness and actual walkable comfort. And I said to myself, gee, those are so cute and feminine, they'd look good with a dress. So I bought a dress!

Let's do a little price averaging here. The dress and the shoes, $170. Feeling summery and attractive--priceless!
