The dress is lovely. I'm not sure about the socks though! I like the look but they remind me of school. I used to wear black, over the knee socks for school. I think I'd feel to old now (29).

It would look great with tights (as others have said).

Dress nice - socks hideous!

SoupDragon · 19/09/2012 16:08

Those socks should not be worn by anyone who is no longer of school age.

FruitSaladIsNotPudding · 19/09/2012 16:10

Socks look really nasty. At any age tbh, but especially not for the school run.

Dress is nice.

SuperB0F · 19/09/2012 16:11

The sockets would look ridiculous on anybody over 20. That does not mean that you have to start shopping at Bon Marché. Just adapt the look with tights, tall boots etc.

Ephiny · 19/09/2012 16:12

I like the dress, but personally wouldn't wear it with the socks like that, I think it would look a bit odd tbh.

Trills · 19/09/2012 16:14

Nice dress. With tights. Not with sexy schoolgirl dress-up socks (or socks from Clueless)

Bunbaker · 19/09/2012 16:19

Lovely dress, but another no to the socks.

sue52 · 19/09/2012 16:20

Lovely dress, the socks should not be worn by anyone over school leaving age.

cornzy · 19/09/2012 16:20

I think you should wear it to parent's evening.

CaptainHetty · 19/09/2012 16:28

I'd wear it. I don't do heels though. And I don't give a hoot what anyone else thinks, which does help somewhat :o

PorkyandBess · 19/09/2012 16:33

Love the dress, love the socks.

But.

The socks could only be carried off by the very young. Daft on anyone over about 20 - 25.

Love the dress, looks much better on asos site than A Wear one though. Wouldn't have looked twice if I'd seen it there first!
