With thigh-highs, the legs look longer and sleeker, so they've been an evergreen accessory.<BR/><BR/>The short-heels-socks combo came from the UK(?) and from Western TV shows. It's such an awfully trashy look, I hope it passes soon. >_<Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936139269770376679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250962.post-74511944999796071502008-07-10T14:24:00.000-06:002008-07-10T14:24:00.000-06:00OMG, what a great combination Goth and Japanese ;)...OMG, what a great combination Goth and Japanese ;)Elliot Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634746011880896253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250962.post-16276259655152445022008-07-09T19:46:00.000-06:002008-07-09T19:46:00.000-06:00I wish!
