Save:I'm hoping to get a couple pairs of cute, ankle-length bright-colored socks... who said a girl can't have a pop of color during the winter?! I love wearing open-toed heels in the winter, but it's not very practical in the cold weather, so adding a bright pop of color to my feet will add extra warmth and style! I think the best colors would be red, bright yellow, and a mid-tone blue.
