Stockholm Style Sightings & Black Socks with "Mandals"

As a brand new resident in Stockholm, Sweden, I did a little walking tour/shopping yesterday. I was in Gamla Stan aka the "Old Town" and T-Centralen aka "Central Station". This is high tourist season and most Swedes are on vacation and not in town right now anyway, so these are just some of the random photos I took along the way.

And for the Fashion "Don't" of the day, there is this man, who I am positive is not Swedish since I was sitting next to his group and could hear the conversation. Read it and weep!

The black socks with mandals are killing me. I have witnessed this disaster repeatedly since I got here and just don't get it. Why wear socks with sandals at all? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this type of footwear? And WHY tall black ones? Why, why, why!? Don't even get me started on the pants.

In defense of the Swedes, I am pretty positive that every person I have seen wearing this is from another part of Europe that shall not be named....at least not by me!

I had mentioned previously that big changes were underway so I had been lax in postings on this blog. As of July 20, 2010 my blog will be coming to you from Stockholm, Sweden! I have been extremely busy with all of the details of making an overseas move. I am VERY excited for this opportunity and have a feeling it will be more exciting due to the fashionable subject matter in Stockholm and the rest of Europe!
