SKULLS! SKULLS! SKULLS!

From fashion to tattoos, to home decor , skulls have been a popular icon for centuries. Skulls are often associated with death but there are so many other meanings as well. Here are some interpretations of the skull: to invoke fear or caution to represent vanity to symbolize life after death, transformation or change as a symbol of nonconformity, free-thinking, rebelliousness, toughness, courage, bravery in the face of death and danger to represent the seat of power and the house of the soul to celebrate the memory of the dead as a good luck charm to signify appeal and fashion, or simply for decoration DIY SKULL TIGHTS I fall in the last category....I think they are cool. It is now October and with Halloween just around the corner skulls, skeletons, and bones will be everywhere from office fashion to Halloween costumes. I recently ran across a blog that shows how to make skull tights. I tried it so it really does work! I am passing the "how to" along as it is a clever idea and I give total credit to the following site . If you decide to try this, my discovery is that the holes need to be small and not too close together. Otherwise the threads can break when you are manipulating them. If you do not already have a pair of black tights, we suggest our black microfiber tights . They work great and will hold up to the pulling and slight tugging to get the right look that you want. I also tried our black signature combed cotton tights , and they work just as well although they do not "run" as much. Whatever hole you cut, that is it. SKULL SOCKS Perhaps you are not the DIY type or don't have time to make your own scary skull tights, how about enjoying the month of October in a pair of skull socks? For years Foot Traffic has been designing socks with skulls and our customers can't get enough. They are considered a "classic" in the sock lines for both men and women year round. We have fun sugar skull novelty socks. Whatever your fashion plans are for this Halloween season, don't forget to include skulls!!
