Hi friends! <3
Got two pairs of socks to open with you this time. They are by Sweet Mildred over on Etsy. I got one pair to wear with gothic and the other one for sweet.

Thoughts:
I really like these socks! The lace is soft with lovely details. The socks are stretchy both length and width-wise. They will go great with the intended gothic or sweet coords. However, there are a few things to note. The pink color becomes very light when they are stretched out, making them seem almost white. I wonder if Sweet Mildred could have gone another shade darker to compensate for that effect. Also, shipping and updates took longer than expected. I know the pandemic has thrown things off, but the shop could have posted something or possibly limited orders early on, so as to not get overwhelmed/fall behind. I do appreciate the bonus goodies. I'm not sure if all orders got them or what.
