Poppin' Socks
I have a great love for socks. This great love affair started all thanks to Alison from high school. She sat right next to me in AP History. Every time I reached into my backpack, my eyes were magically drawn to her funky socks, which you could only see when she was sitting down. One time, she wore burgundy penny loafers with green argyle socks. Another time she wore Scooby Doo. Sometimes black and white polka dots and other times, a rainbow of stars. Despite her funny socks, Alison was always well-dressed -- very JCrew. Though her socks were totally off the wall, they polished her look and added a special flair to her personality. Needless to say, this made a great impression on me and I've been in love socks since.
Reading your sock tales have been very entertaining -- thank you for sharing them. But it occurred to me today that I haven't shared my favorite socks yet. Here's my top three:
The first pair of socks -- the one I've been wearing a lot lately -- are my black Betsey Johnson bare leg socks with white lace ruffles. I'm generally not a big fan of lace ruffles, but I like these a lot for some strange reason.
The second pair of socks I like because of the print. I love the colors and the design. It's very Helen Dardik, wouldn't you say?
The third pair is perhaps my most favorite of all -- my pair of nasty gophers. They're thick and plush and I love to wear them on very cold days as slippers around the house. My feet feel as though they're going to melt like butter whenever I wear these nasties.
So there. My favorite socks. :D
