Earth Mama Leg Warmers
Earth Mama was inspired by my dear friend Eve, the best incarnation of an earth goddess. She spent the day on her organic farm, tending a variety of plants and raising animals with love.
These leg warmers are designed to keep your legs warm when working with the damp soil of spring or the long damp grass of autumn. They’re perfect all year round and can be paired with anything from work boots to heels. For a trendy look, pull them up to keep them warm or wear them hanging. Ribbed and flared ankle cuffs allow the legs to be hugged and conform to most shapes and sizes. Repetitions of the pattern allow the length and width to be adjusted for those who wish to do so.
