Cute Leg Warmers?

Okay, so generally, I hate leg warmers due to my instinctive distaste for anything remotely associated with 1980s fashion. I firmly stood my ground throughout their '04-'05 revival, and I have avoided direct contact with them for all of my life. However. . . I find my resolve faltering when presented with these.

They just look so very cozy and quirky and adorable. Alas, I just can not resist anything with buttons running up the side, it is a documented fact. But they are not even that 80's looking, are they? Maybe they are not even 80's looking at all? It is a strange new feeling to not be repulsed by a pair of leg warmers. I still am not quite sure whether I am experiencing a brief stint of insanity, and these are not actually very cute after all. I am kind of relieved that they are sold out right now, or else I might be quite tempted to click the "add to cart" button. Sock Dreams, $18.

Those ARE cute. I really have a fond love of many buttons as well. The one that is not scrunched down doesn't even look like a leg warmer, when it is scrunched it looks slightly more 80's-ish, but with some class!

It's more like a spat than a legwarmer, IMO. Quite cute.

Those are awesome! I just bought some irresistible brown marled yarn that I've been wondering what to do with, and I think this may be divine inspiration. What a great find :)

Hello legwarmers! They're also in a really nice marl, oh! another thing I want/need.

Re: Thanks! It seems to take time to load though, and the music is now annoying me, changes again methinks.

My God, those are adorable.

You seem to be pretty good with handicrafts, I reckon if you could probably make them yourself. And if you do, do share!

They remind me very much of putties- sockish things used by the russian and german armies. These can be the legwear of the stylish-girl army
