For the record, I know I'm too old for these

From the NY Times Sunday Style section:

KNEE SOCKS are rarely considered chic, but a version by In God We Trust have become a hot ticket among young women. The cotton-spandex socks are embellished with gold-plated bridle bits (think Gucci-esque equestrian meets schoolgirl). Wear them with miniskirts, wool shorts or under boots with the bits peeking over the tops. And imagine how cute they would look with ice skates. In black, white, gray, brown, camel and blue, $20 a pair at In God We Trust in New York, (212) 966-9010.
