		<description><![CDATA[It’s April and properly spring. It’s time, I think, for some pastel rainbows!]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The association of Easter and fresh spring blooms makes this time of year all about pastels.  I love putting these seasonal <a href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/tag/color-wheel/">colour wheels</a> together, even when there’s barely any colour involved.  <img src='http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Let’s start with pastel ruffles, for feet and a bit higher up . . .</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2012/04/06/soft-spring-rainbows/pastelruffle/" rel="attachment wp-att-8119"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8119" title="pastelruffle" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pastelruffle.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="450" /></a></p>
<p><em>clockwise from top: <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/textured-stripe-knee-high">Textured Stripe Knee High</a> in Pink, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/micromesh-lace-ruffle-tanga-short">Micromesh Lace Ruffle Tanga Short</a> in Light Blue, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/puffy-chiffon-mini-petticoat">Puffy Chiffon Mini Petticoat</a> in White w/Pink, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/textured-stripe-knee-high">Textured Stripe Knee High</a> in White, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/micromesh-lace-ruffle-tanga-short">Micromesh Lace Ruffle Tanga Short</a> in Pink</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>More pretty pastels after the jump! <span id="more-8114"></span></p>
<p>I know that gloves can be a traditional part of fancy Easter dress and there is something terribly lady-like about daintily gloved hands.  Maybe this one isn’t a “rainbow” since they’re all white or off-white.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2012/04/06/soft-spring-rainbows/whitelaceglove/" rel="attachment wp-att-8120"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8120" title="whitelaceglove" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/whitelaceglove.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="450" /></a></p>
<p><em>clockwise from top: <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/fingerless-lace-gloves">Fingerless Lace Gloves</a> in Ivory, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/lace-gloves-with-ruffles-1">Lace Gloves with Ruffles</a> in White, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/elbow-length-lace-fingerless-gloves">Elbow Length Fingerless Gloves</a> in White,  <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/lace-gloves-with-ruffles">Lace Gloves with Ruffles</a> in Ivory, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/lace-gloves-with-ruffles-fingerless">Lace Gloves with Ruffles Fingerless</a> in White, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/stretch-lace-wrist-length-gloves">Stretch Lace Wrist Length Gloves</a> in White</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, not everyone who wants to rock springtime glove action wants white lace.  So how about some soft and satin styles in similar subtle tints?</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2012/04/06/soft-spring-rainbows/pastelgloves/" rel="attachment wp-att-8118"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8118" title="pastelgloves" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pastelgloves.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="450" /></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, we can’t talk about sweet, soft shades without mentioning the <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/o-lovelies">O Lovelies</a> and the <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/ethereal-arm-warmers">Ethereal Arm Warmers</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2012/04/06/soft-spring-rainbows/ethereallovelies/" rel="attachment wp-att-8116"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8116" title="ethereallovelies" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ethereallovelies.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="450" /></a></p>
<p><em>Clockwise from top<strong>: </strong><a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/o-lovelies">O Lovelies</a> in Pebble, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/o-lovelies">O Lovelies</a> in Blush, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/ethereal-arm-warmers">Ethereal Arm Warmers</a> in Lavender, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/o-lovelies">O Lovelies</a> in Robin’s Egg, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/o-lovelies">O Lovelies</a> in Pearl, <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/ethereal-arm-warmers">Ethereal Arm Warmers</a> in Pink</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>There are a bunch of pretty pastels in our wide wonderland of socks, but the <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/seasonal-socks/spring/">Spring collection</a> is a good place to start for those light layers and lovely shades of spring. How about you? Do you start adding frothy, frilly pastels to your wardrobe this time of year?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year, as folks plan out what they’ll take with them to the playa, we see links back to us here at Sock Dreams.  The desert means hot days and cold nights, so layering is essential.  Though none of us have had the chance to go to <a href="http://www.burningman.com/">Burning Man</a> (yet!), we do know socks.</p>
<p><strong>Bootsocks</strong></p>
<p>To keep yourself safe from <a href="http://www.burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/playa_foot.html">playa foot</a>, your feet need to be kept from the alkali desert floor by socks and close-toed shoes.  Several styles of our recycled cotton DreaM Stockings are terry-lined, making them cushy and absorbent bootsocks:</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5066" href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2010/08/13/socks-for-burning-man/playa_boots1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5066" title="playa_boots1" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/playa_boots1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="267" /></a></p>
<p>From left to right:</p>

• <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/m-bootsocks">M Bootsocks</a> •</p>
<p>If terry isn’t your thing, here are three more great styles, ranging from super thick wool to nice and thin recycled cotton.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5067" href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2010/08/13/socks-for-burning-man/playa_boots2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5067" title="playa_boots2" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/playa_boots2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /></a></p>

<p>But what about the fun and stripes and legwarmers?  Well, we have our favourite recommendations for those too, but you’ll have to jump below the cut . . .</p>
<p><span id="more-5063"></span></p>
<p><strong>Leg Warmers</strong></p>
<p>Stripes and sparkles dress up the total usefulness of legwarmers when it comes to layering.  They roll up small in your bag, but make all the difference in keeping your legs comfy during those cold desert nights.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-5068" href="http://blog.sockdreams.com/2010/08/13/socks-for-burning-man/playa_lw1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5068" title="playa_lw1" src="http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/playa_lw1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /></a></p>

• <a href="http://www.sockdreams.com/products/fuzzy-stripes-leg-warmers">Fuzzy Stripes Leg Warmers</a> •</p>
<p><strong>Arm Warmers</strong></p>
<p>You can’t have your legs getting all the attention, but that’s what arm warmers are for—and they’re super nice for keeping off the chill when you’re not wearing much else.  The first two are our favourite basics (with high cotton content for you fire dancers!), and then there are some fun, patterned options</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/polonova-assortment-4-2.jpg'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/polonova-assortment-4.jpg" alt="" title="polonova-assortment-4-2" width="450"  class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1741" /></a><br />
Last month a local woman contacted Sock Dreams telling my staff of her lovely wares and asking if we were interested.  Bsti intercepted an email with <a href="http://polonova.com/">her link</a> and told me I really needed to see them.  No, I don&#8217;t need to see any more must have socks right now, we already have more coming than I can possibly manage sanely, but curiosity always gets me and sure enough, they&#8217;re awesome!<br />
<a href="http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/socks_detail_ProductID_1349.php"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/polonof-r1-e008.jpg" alt="" title="polonof-r1-e008" width="268" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1743" /></a><br />
So I wrote her and we met and I ordered and she screen printed, resulting in a lovely assortment arriving as our starter order.  Now, as I mentioned, I am swamped (just the way I like it btw, but I am forever overestimating how much I can accomplish in a day) so I decided they&#8217;d be store only til we catch up and can get them all properly photographed.  But I just know some of you are going to love them!<br />
<a href='http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/socks_detail_ProductID_1349.php'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/polonova-assortment-2.jpg" alt="" title="polonova-assortment-2" width="450" height="300" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1744" /></a><br />
Here&#8217;s the basic information: the knee highs are made in the US, nylon trouser socks, then they are screen printed by hand with the best patterns I have seen, every edge is perfect, no weird gaps or overlaps.  The colors are black with silver or gold and red, maroon, brown &#038; olive with black (swirls only on the colors).<br />
The wrist warmers are soft yummy velvet with a mehndi pattern screen printed on in copper (as specially requested by me because it looked awesome and I didn&#8217;t want to bother with silver &#038; gold).<br />
<a href="http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/accessories_detail_ProductID_1350.php"></a><a href='/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/bsti-in-velvet-wrist-warmers-4.jpg'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/09/bsti-in-velvet-wrist-warmers-4-200x300.jpg" alt="" title="bsti-in-velvet-wrist-warmers-4" width="200" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1745" /></a><br />
So, if you are brave and willing to play a little game with me, I&#8217;m going to let you buy them with the catch that you can only suggest a color and we&#8217;ll choose the pattern and send them off to you with a wink and a smile.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/accessories_detail_ProductID_155.php'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/06/red-gloves-fishnet.jpg" alt="" title="red-gloves-fishnet" width="300" height="450" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1661" /></a><br />
<a href="http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/socks_cat_CategoryID_59.php">Fishnet</a> always seemed like a perennial favorite, one that never went out of style.<br />
And while it surely must be a true classic that never really goes out of style, especially in warmer weather, it certainly does seem to me that demand has dropped the last couple of years. That said, I still love fishnet so when I noticed new color options for the basic <a href="http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/accessories_detail_ProductID_155.php">fishnet gloves</a> from Leg Avenue I went ahead and ordered some.  And since I am in the process of updating older images on the site for the launch of the new site (um, right, still working on that, but it really is coming along nicely) I went ahead and reshot all of the colors of fishnet gloves with the help of my fine fellow sock lovers, some of the store decor and my trusty old baton as props&#8230;<br />
<a href='http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/accessories_detail_ProductID_155.php'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/06/fishnet-glove-purple-baton1.jpg" alt="" title="fishnet-glove-purple-baton1" width="250" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1663" /></a><br />
(yes, some of us really can twirl it to the surprise of our coworkers)<br />
The only thing I really don&#8217;t like about these gloves is all the fishnet that ends up at the tips of the fingers where the seams meet, thankfully it is easy to cut the tips off for quick and easy fingerless fishnet gloves.<br />
<a href='http://wwww.sockdreams.com/pages/accessories_detail_ProductID_155.php'><img src="/wp-content/uploads/old/uploaded_images/2008/06/fishnet-red-lm.jpg" alt="" title="fishnet-red-lm" width="300" height="450" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1664" /></a><br />
You can do it at the tips or anywhere down further on the fingers and it will last ages without fraying.  I did this to my black pair years ago and they are still fine after many wearings.  So tell me, do you like fishnet any more or less than you ever have?</p>
