The "Damn my socks are cute today!" thread.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Yes, here we have it. Back by popular demand. The thread you love, or hate, or love to hate.

Post here all of your cute sock/hosiery news. Wear a cute pair of socks? Tights? Fishnets? Thigh highs? Well, I wanna know. Just cause I'm kinky like that.

I'll go first:

Today I wore light blue David & Goliath socks that have pictures of cartoon boys on them that say "Boys are smelly".

OH. EMM. GEEEEEE.


This brings back memories!!!!

[DapperButch]

I wore white socks today.

I own solid colored white socks, black socks, and tan socks. That's it.

For some reason I don't think I am going to be a huge participant of this thread.

I bought a 6 pack of Hanes classic white ankle socks today. All of my calf length socks are black. Of course when I go to fold them, they still never match.

I do have some special winter socks that I got for Christmas that I could wax poetic about, but I will save that for later.

[puddin']

i have some black & grey checked ankle length socks i need re-stock on, but i won't be in da states fo' anotha 6 months so i'ma jus' hopin' i don't blow all 8 pairs out befo'hand. (it's getttin' close as i wear nuthin' else! and we have no target stores hea. oy)

[Gemme]

I'll be sporting borrrrrrrrrrrrring white ankle socks today.

Work socks.

Bah.

[easygoingfemme]

My left foot is pink and white stripe knee sock, my right foot is a white knee sock with pink ducks all over it.

You have to wash all the black socks at the same time. Then, they will fade at the same rate. If you unable to complete this feet (hah), line up all of the socks you did wash, prior to pairing them. Just do the best you can. Only some of the people will laugh at for your mismatched fading.

I have struggled over the years with how high I want my white socks (while wearing shorts), to come above my foot (meaning, how long I want the socks to be). For some reason I have never been able to determine what looks best on me. Popping right out of the sneaker, or a little bit higher? It has always been a struggle. :sigh:

Dapper, thank you. The problem is my socks are all black but they are not the exact same socks, so that is why they don't match. I buy them so seldom that each time they are different. I need to make a note of it so that I buy the same exact ones every time. Then they will match better. Or maybe I could throw out the old ones and start over. There's a thought.

I also don't wear socks very often so my laundry doesn't contain that many socks to wash at the same time. I work from home and I mostly go barefoot. That situation may change, who knows.

I bought the ankle socks yesterday for wearing with tennis shoes and shorts. But I also got new flip flops, which I will most likely be wearing most of the time when I do need foot covering. I haven't struggled with the ankle sock length issue.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Yayyayyay!!! I love all of you, even those wearing plain, boring sockage.

Though I must point out, those with the plain socks seem to be the ones putting the most thought into it. How does that work???? *COUGHBullyandDapperCOUGH*

I haven't made selection for today yet, and so will report back later sock monkeys.

[Daktari]

Scooby Doo socks today

[PoeticSilence]

Because my legs are wrapped toe to knee 24/7/365 in a combination of lymphedema wraps and farrow wraps with padding, I have to wear a special sock made with silver in it. Spensive sockys. I have two pair and have to swap them out every couple of days. Soooo...dapperbutch has a veritable clowns collection of socks compared to me. Mine are a silvery-grey. It's the only colour they come in.



***years from now I'll be in therapy about this, I can tell.***

[Okiebug61]

I have black work socks but I will admit I have cartoon socks and holiday socks I wear when appropriate.

[DapperButch]

Dapper, thank you. The problem is my socks are all black but they are not the exact same socks, so that is why they don't match. I buy them so seldom that each time they are different. I need to make a note of it so that I buy the same exact ones every time. Then they will match better. Or maybe I could throw out the old ones and start over. There's a thought.

I would think that having different brands would actually help with the matching process, no? Perhaps I should go that route. For my thicker "winter" black socks (not to be confused with my black, "dress socks"), I always buy Gold Toe. I buy them in 6 packs. I have actually considered starting over due to the time it takes to "fade match". I keep the suckers until they are gray with fade and even may have holes in the heels. I have the same problem letting go of underwear. The stitching can start to come off of the band, but I will hold onto them for a time.

Speaking of underwear, that was a 10 year search for the right brand/style (ending about 6 years ago). It was hard to find a pair that were comfortable (just "say no" to briefs), yet didn't bunch up in my pants (thereby effecting the "straight line" of my hips/thighs). I finally decided on a "trunk" style by Calvin Klein. We should have an underwear thread, as they are more important than socks.

I also don't wear socks very often so my laundry doesn't contain that many socks to wash at the same time. I work from home and I mostly go barefoot. That situation may change, who knows.

I bought the ankle socks yesterday for wearing with tennis shoes and shorts. But I also got new flip flops, which I will most likely be wearing most of the time when I do need foot covering. I haven't struggled with the ankle sock length issue.


It may not, as you IT people tend to be blessed with jobs where you can go casual. I am a sandal guy myself, which is probably why I have done less research in the white sock decision making around length. I typically only wear sneakers when exercising. I am a sandal/shoe guy. At home, it is barefeet in summer and crew length socks with pants in winter. The sock length issue creeps up when I am wearing shorts.

This is an important discussion, I am glad we are having it.




P.S. Do you think the "sock people" hate us yet?

Confessions of an inadvertent sock whore...

My whole life I only had the standard issue black/white never-quite-enough sock situation. Then I moved to where I am. There is a department store nearby that mails out $10 gift cards to the locals every other month or so.
They don't have anything else I want in that price range so socks are it. My sock-o-the-month club if you will.

This has been going on for 6 years. :blink:

Now my sock drawer is literally that, a drawer full of socks. Black/brown/tan/sports/hiking/stripes/argyle/yup even some with spots.

Today is wander around the house in socks day. Uh huh, brown that matches the wood floors.

Not my photo nor my feet. But I do own a pair of dalek slipper socks. They are my favorite pair of slipper socks. I know they arent at all femmy but I dont care! As they are just perfect!

[BullDog]

Dapper, I do often buy gold toe socks. That would be easy for me to remember, so that might help. I will be going through all my clothes in the next week or so. This discussion is very timely for my purge. I think it is time to get rid of the obvious mismatches but too early to completely replace my current black sock supply. (P.S. I mostly wear boxer briefs, just ordered a Fruit of the Loom 7 pack along with the socks and some other items. I went a little "crazy" on Amazon yesterday but still kept it under a hundred bucks).

Ok, so I lied. I fogot about the number of cycling and hiking socks I have. They are all colors (the cycling socks), which honestly, I am not too keen on. I prefer solid, conservative colors (which I can find for the hiking) that match the cycling/hiking shoes or are neutral. Nothing crazy. I'm boring like that.

No, I don't think so, they are medical sox. I used to wear these very lovely wool sox with wicking that kept my feet warm and dry. because I wore boots all of the time. After I get all of my medicine on my legs, then my medical sox, and then the padding, and finally the wraps, I can't even wear regular shoes, and thank god for Crocs because that's all I can get my lumpy little feet into. At least crocs come in a lot of colours and in a very sad way, it makes up for having all of the other stuff stifling my feet.

I have this problem in the world, too, except I don't wear boxers. I do, however, I have lots of brightly colored cute underwears. And silver and pink glittery sneakers. Because all of the novelty socks just aren't garish enough.

You clearly need a sock thread intervention. I am gving you a ticket for blatant misuse of sockage!!!! And for horrifying my mind's eye.

Today: striped knee high socks in pinks, berry, chocolate, golden yellow, and red. Some of the stripes are sparkly.

I may or may not have worn these socks because I wanted to have sex wearing nothing but knee socks. It may or may not have worked.

Gotta luv ya Bro, I am now going sock hunting for another pair of these so I can finally wear them instead of pulling them out, holding them for what seems like eternity then putting them back in the drawer lol.... Genius I tell ya! Dapper is a Genius!

Now we know the real reason why CCB likes cute socks. :|


Okay, update on my crazy shopping spree from the other day, which did include socks.


My tennis shoes and flip flops left Hebron, KY and are currently in Atlanta, GA.

My nail clipper set (a bit of a splurge here) is in Union City, CA (wow seriously, they couldn't find any nail clippers closer than California)

Have my Hanes classic white ankle socks (and a few other items) shipped yet? Noooooooooo It's a good thing I have one pair already, just in case. (Says shipping now, but no what that really means is we haven't gotten around to finding your stuff yet. Someone is no doubt on a long cigarette break. Until it actually says Shipped it means nothing!)

Another barefoot day for me, although I am getting pretty low on food. If I do go out it will probably be tennis shoes with no socks.

(I love to track packages. Sometimes I want to order something just so I can track it).
(Oh and I also love parenthetical asides. Blame Dapper if you don't like them).

1) I have fully admitted over the years that I have a sock FETISH. I believe knee high socks count as lingerie. You should try it sometime. (With a girl maybe, or on your own if that floats your boat.)

Someone once suggested (this summer) that I wear knee socks while mowing the lawn to prevent further mosquito bites on my legs and ankles. I am still traumatized.

Knee socks as lingerie (not on me)... yes!

[DapperButch]

Today I am wearing white ankle socks. I am wearing white socks because I am wearing (you guessed it), sneakers (actually they are short hiking boots, but whatever).

They are also TF's socks. They are her socks because we are down at the beach and I forgot to pack socks. I did have white socks on yesterday, that I could have reworn, but that creeps me out. HOWEVER, TF's had already been worn too.

You may wonder why I chose her socks over mine even though both had already been worn (and therefore it would be a "repeat" situation, for both pairs).

Let me run it down for you.

TF only wore her socks to sleep in, I had been wearing mine since 4pm. I put them on right after my shower. The amateurs in the group may believe this to be enough information as to which "repeat socks", one should chose and would reach right for TF's socks. That would be jumping the gun a bit.

You need to take into consideration what was going on with the feet themselves before they were slipped into said socks. After all, you are putting your foot inside the sock. As stated, I had just taken a shower at 4:00pm. TF, on the other hand, had showered in the morning. SO, she had ALL DAY to accumulate dirt on her feet, prior to putting on said pair of clean socks before bed.

I asked TF what socks/shoes she wore to work yesterday. My thought was, if she was wearing sandals her feet would be relatively dirty when she put the socks on to go to bed. I would then be putting my feet into socks that could arguably be dirtier than the inside of mine, even though her clean socks were put on 8 hours later than mine.

I found out that she wore nylons (or whatever they are called now), with the dress she wore yesterday. Being that her foot was encased in fabric all day and she is not a foot sweater, I determined that her white socks were most likely cleaner than mine inside, so I chose her socks.

It was a tough decision, glad I was able to get through it.

TF was glad, too.

The end.

[Blaze]

I need them Socks! The Vote for Pedro with match my T-shirt and my shoes, so I need it! I will have to check my dryer, because today I could not find one sock, :readfineprint: it went missing, and I think the sock alien got it and is messing with my fetish... :mohawk: I am thinking that I have to make a APB and make sure my sock is returned as it is my who's your Daddi sock and Hellooooooooo I'm the Daddi! :vigil: Please ohhh please Sock monster alien stealla robbah, please return to me my sock :praying:

This KILLED me. I just woke up. I am sitting on the bed reading this, TF was near the bed, and as I looked down to see her bare feet I said, "Did you wear socks to bed last night?". "No, you have my socks", she says as she shuffles away in her bare feet.

Did I also mention the trailer we are in has no heat? Space heaters!

It is warm under the covers with blankets on, socks are her preference, not a necessity. But, yes, I am a puz for not even thinking about it.

Kelt, true about the socks for today (but TF will have on sandals, it is only cold at night), I didn't think past yesterday. :|

Looks like somebody needs to trot into town real quick and come back with a package of socks.

[Mopsie]

I bought a 6 pack of Hanes classic white ankle socks today. All of my calf length socks are black. Of course when I go to fold them, they still never match.

I do have some special winter socks that I got for Christmas that I could wax poetic about, but I will save that for later.

You have to wash all the black socks at the same time. Then, they will fade at the same rate. If you unable to complete this feet (hah), line up all of the socks you did wash, prior to pairing them. Just do the best you can. Only some of the people will laugh at for your mismatched fading.

I have struggled over the years with how high I want my white socks (while wearing shorts), to come above my foot (meaning, how long I want the socks to be). For some reason I have never been able to determine what looks best on me. Popping right out of the sneaker, or a little bit higher? It has always been a struggle. :sigh:

A sock tip:

Buy some large safety pins. When you take off a pair of socks pin them together on the toe end. They will stay together in the wash. Then they are already matched when they come out of the dryer.

Voilà!

You're welcome. :cheesy:

I’ve eyed this thread warily for a while now. I love socks but there is a rather embarrassing issue that comes up whenever I talk about sock use. It’s rather uncomfortable and anyone who reads my posts can see how difficult it is for me to open up about just anything (tongue in cheek here). But before I share my secret shame I want to enjoy a little stress free conversation about my love of socks. I need to warm up and work my way into this.

I love colorful socks of every ilk. Like glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, I never met a color I didn’t like. I have socks with cartoon characters, superheros, animals, sports team logos, and designs of all types. I am not hampered by a need or desire to only wear socks of a certain length. I am also not restricted by a necessity for appropriate sock management for work. My socks are hidden under my pants and no one is the wiser. Of course there are times during a meeting when my slacks might ride up a tad and if one were to glance under the table at the right moment one might be privy to an explosion of color. But if my coworkers have ever noticed and been shocked at my shameless use of rainbow hued toe warmers they have kept it to themselves.

Colorful socks make me smile. I feel happy just looking at my socks. My feet would be so sad if they had to live in only black and white. Even when I’m wearing boots and I can’t see my socks that easily, I will push up my jeans a bit when I’m sitting so I can catch a glimpse of their colorful cuteness. Just a look never fails to bring me joy. There are only two times when I don’t wear socks bursting with color and character. One is when it’s really cold and I’m going to be trudging through snow and ice, then I wear the warmest heaviest socks I own and they usually have minimal color, maybe red and gray. The other is the source of my humiliation and embarrassment. I am a secret user of peds.

For years and years in the summer or when it was warm and I wanted to wear sneakers and no socks, I wore peds. I hate bare feet in shoes. I can’t stand it. Neither can I wrap my head around socks and shorts. I don’t care for that look. I try to stick with sandals and bare feet in the summer, but there are times when only a shoe or a sneaker will do. Then out come the peds. I have them in white, black, polka dot and of course there’s the plain nylon looking ones. Nobody sees them, my shame is well hidden beneath my shoes. But that has not stopped the bullying, the ridicule, the scorn I have endured at the hands of lovers and friends. Almost every person in my life has tried to stop me from wearing these tiny targets of tremendous revulsion. It’s unfathomable how much hatred the little guys can garner. There we times when current girlfriends and exes would come together, united by my misguided and offensive use of peds, and plot against this common enemy. Those diminutive disgusting excuses for socks had to go. The people in my life were not kidding. Friends, family, and partners alike were deeply disturbed by my penchant for this foolish footwear. When my wife and my best friend first met years ago, although it was winter with no peds in sight, the conversation ultimately turned toward my ped wearing and the taunting began.

Since moving to another country it has been difficult for those I left behind to hold this abomination in the forefront of their consciousness so I have of lately escaped any humiliating tirades. My wife is not thrilled with my use of the little horrors but she has made a sort of uneasy piece with them. However, every now and again her mortification surrounding this unfortunate and persistent folly comes around to bite me in the toes. I have been more careful since given another chance and I do not allow my new friends to get a whiff of my ped fetish.

I know what I’m doing is wrong and I should know better, but I can’t help myself. It’s the easy answer to my dilemma around what to do concerning the shorts and shoes debacle. And truthfully it is the only answer I can live with despite the ridicule, mockery and derision I’ve suffered at the hands of purposeful persistent peds detractors.

Since I’ve gone in the closet I haven’t talked about this problem in a couple of years. Stealth ped use has it advantages but we all know how secrets keep us sick.

Sometimes you really scare me Dapper.

I told TF if she ever left me I would never find a date on this website.

[DapperButch]

MissTick,

I get it. I very much dislike the look of shorts with sneakers (on adult masculine individuals). I also cannot stand the feeling of no socks in a shoe/especially a sneaker.

The white sock height issue I mentioned struggling with is where this comes in. I have to balance what I think looks good on me (with shorts), plus, with what is trendy (not trendy = crew style pushed down..but on me, I think they look good. *sigh*). It can be rough sometimes. A nice pair of short hiking boots can improve the situation, or like you, I wear sandals (very BUTCH ones, of course! ha!). I think I said in an earlier thread, I tend to only wear sneakers when working out. I do find them more acceptable on me wear with jeans, but rarely.

So, I have to tell you, I learned that with those sketcher sneaker type shoes people don't wear socks with them. I do think they look better that way, but me, having the same problem as you, what do I do?

WELL, I found that they make cotton socks that are not peds, but are hidden right under the shoe line. Regular thickness and everything. I found them at some show outlet store.

Check it out!

P.S. Peds are for sissies.

[Mopsie]

Could someone fill me in?

Are they really hidden under the shoe line? Maybe it's me, but i can always see them sticking up a tad. Or they slip below the shoe and then they slide around and annoy me. I might be using the wrong ones.

Peds aren't even for sissies apparently. Nobody likes them. I can't imagine why they still sell them. I've never found anyone who wears them.

No, no tags. I will look in my "white sock drawer", and let you know the name. It is just some no name brand.

[Cin]

No, no tags. I will look in my "white sock drawer", and let you know the name. It is just some no name brand.

no, no tags. nothing about tags. Sticking up a tad, as in they are visual outside of the shoe by a small amount. Not really completely hidden under the shoe line. At least the ones i have tried.

The only thing I don't see sticking out of the shoe, at least to some small degree, are peds.

But many people have tried to show me the error of my ped ways by explaining that there are other options that work just as well. I just haven't been able to find any. Maybe I will someday, but up until now there is always a little bit of sock showing. Perhaps this is a fair trade off to most people. Way worth it not to wear peds or not to wear shoes without socks. I just can't choose the sock sticking out a tad alternative when I can just wear peds. I'm a non-repentant ped user. I don't want to commit such a fashion faux pas but rather than use anything else I would prefer it if peds just became more socially acceptable. Rather than change myself I would like the world to change instead. Ask me how that has worked for me so far.

[*Anya*]

Peds aren't even for sissies apparently. Nobody likes them. I can't imagine why they still sell them. I've never found anyone who wears them.

Considering that they still make Peds, there must be a lot of people that buy and wear them.

Today, you proudly (maybe proud is a strong word) came out of the closet for all the Ped-wearers in Canada and the USA.

Hold your head up high and march forth, with your Ped-shod feet; knowing that you have spoken up for many of your Ped-friends!

Ped wearers unite. Together we can stand invisible in our shoes, but visible in our commitment toward a cleaner albeit faux bare foot look for our sneakers.

It's a steady rotation of Halloween socks for me until Friday this week. I won't be ready to give them up right on Halloween, so I'll hang on for one more day.

[Cin]

Makes sense to me. I wear my xmas socks and boxers right through February. Along with my winter themed socks and boxers which can sometimes cross boundaries with xmas.

I broke my toe today which is probably why all of a sudden I am hyper aware of feet, socks and toes.

Or you can use a laundry mesh bag and toss all sock in and wash and dry -- this is what I do. I have 1 for black socks (workout socks) and another for my socks and one more for my wife. She's not to picky-- but they are socks. :sock:

Oh, I knew. I knew y'alls was frigged up and would come into this thread in droves with your elaborate sock stories. Have we realized yet that as far as the volume posted Butches with sock issues have posted more than everyone with cute socks put together?

I suggest you, Dapper, and Miss Tick start up a support group. Because, like others--I am truly fucking concerned at this point. I don't even have time right now I address the depth of your issues right now. Especially Tick. Wow. I am not a sock counselor, I only play one on TV.

And ahk: I expected better from you than flip flop socks. That is just freaky.

There is an up side, though, because when I checked into this thread I could NOT stop laughing. Thank you for the amusement from the bottom of m heart.

Right now I am wearing stolen wool socks because it's fucking FREEZING. Earlier I worse shoes with no socks (not even PEDS) because I was wearing a dress.

Let me tell you about what is called "wasting socks". "Wasting socks" is when you put new socks on for a short period of time. Socks are "wasted then", because unlike a pair of jeans (for example), socks cannot be "repeated" if worn for less than a day (except in case of emergency, see earlier beach post). You are making more laundry for yourself, and decreasing the lifespan of the sock due to all the washing, only for a couple of hours of enjoyment.

I can't believe you people.


ETA: "Slipper socks"? I have to look these things up. Perhaps there are different "wearing rules" for them.

Wow, Dapper has some serious OCD sock rules. :sunglass:

Being leisurely, I prefer white ankle socks - Hanes in warmer weather, Joe Boxer in cooler weather. I will share the Hanes but not the Joe Boxers.

I don't mind white ankles for dress up either. If Letterman can get away with it, so can I. But, if I get that "you are not wearing those" look, Hanes black ankle sports socks will do.

If I am going to be exposed to the elements in cold weather, blue nylon knee hi's over the ankle socks makes things toasty. It's about comfort, not fashion.

I did once own a pair of those socks with the separate holes for toes but my toes developed serious separation anxiety issues.

I am not fond of slipper socks cuz they have those no skid rubber things on the bottom. Being able to slide across the floor like Tom Cruise, is imperative.

[*Anya*]

I never realized so many of us have sock rules!

When I was in the hospital last year, I would always get a new pair of warm footie things with no-skid stuff on the bottom.

I would get a pair in the morning and then after wearing all them day, another clean pair at night.

I came home with about 15 pair. They are awesome in the winter. I have to wear them in bed because my feet get cold otherwise.

My GF cracks-up at the contrast between a sexy nightgown (or nakedness) and my fluffy footies.

In warmer weather, I wear either white crew socks folded down or no-show sport socks to bed.

Socks always have to be clean.

Always.

If I take a shower at 5:00pm, wear shoes around the house, go to bed at 10- those 5:00pm socks are now dirty.

I then have to get clean 10pm socks to wear in bed. It is the law. No dirty feet or dirty socks in bed. Ever.

Almost every day my GF says: "Are you doing wash again?!

Yes dear.

The same rules for shower and bedtime socks and/or footies, apply to daytime socks.

It is a complex world we live in, us OCD types.

It keeps that washing machine going.

Well thank you. Although I can’t imagine any scenario where these would ever be useful for me. However it is the thought that counts. And it’s important that ped use of any variety be encouraged. Toward that end, here is another kind of ped that I would never ever in a million years need but might come in handy for others.

Which toe?

The 4th one on the right foot. It looks like a little baby purple carrot. And my foot is all swollen and black and blue as well. Who knew a toe could be so annoying. I mean it's such a tiny thing. And my toes are usually so discreet, you would barely know they were there. Anyway to make my sad toe feel better I am wearing my favorite socks today. Nothing special in the looks department but they feel so nice. Here's a pic of today's socks.

I so agree. You can't repeat socks. Sometimes I try if I only put them on for an hour or so to run to the store or some such thing. I've tried tucking them in my shoes to encourage me to wear them again because really they are still clean, but I always take them out in a short time and throw them in the dirty clothes. I just can't seem to do it. I started leaving them out on a little ledge on my nightstand so I can reuse them, but after they are there for a while I end up tossing them in the dirty clothes. They never make it to be reused unless I end up running right back out within the hour. Now I don't even bother to try. I just throw them in the dirty clothes immediately and try to forget about the waste of money because I have to use the laundromat in the building since we aren't allowed to keep washers or dryers in the apartments, and the wear and tear on the socks. Luckily my feet like to be free so I rarely wear socks at any other time except to go out. I don't sleep in socks, my feet hate that. They like to breathe.

Well I'll be..... I have only seen these in toes only version, without the elastic. There really are socks for every and all occasion. Never will I wear these but I am now aware of their existence. I learned something new today :)

My sock rules are few but unyielding.

1. No repeating socks. Ever.
2. No shaking socks when taking them off. I have no wish to ingest your sweat encrusted foot skin particles once you have dispersed them into the atmosphere. Disgusting!
3. It is impossible to wash socks too often. It is ok to wear them for an hour, or less, then put the in the wash basket.
4. No wearing socks with holes in them. I do not care how at attached you are to said socks. Bin them.
5. No sock sharing. If you forget your own I will let you choose any pair from my extensive collection. They are yours now and I do not need them back. Ever.

Yes, slipper socks have different rules as they are really 'house shoes' and should be treated accordingly.

BUT

They should never go outside, no matter how close the garbage is or how dry the ground is.

Never.

The bruising went alllll the way up the front of my foot too, to be covered by cute socks of course.

The same exact toe. Well not the same toe of course, I broke my toe and you broke your toe, but you know what i mean. What are the odds.

Well, one in ten actually.

Now why does that sound so familiar *grin*.

Back on track. I love socks.

When I post pics of my socks I want to post my boxers too. Usually they match in some way. I manage to restrain myself though. This is for socks.

[Gemme]

Oh wow! love being broken toe twins with Gemme.

The same exact toe. Well not the same toe of course, I broke my toe and you broke your toe, but you know what i mean. What are the odds.

Well, one in ten actually.

Now why does that sound so familiar *grin*.

You should start a sister thread. What underthings are you wearing with your cute socks? thread.

Toe twins unite!

[easygoingfemme]

Today: I'm wearing flip/flop socks-- they have a big toe slot and then 4 toes slot.

(very similar -- mismatched but darker colours /and for men)

THANK YOU for this. I had no idea this existed. I just ordered them (in plain black) for my guy who loves to drive me crazy by shoving his socked feet into his flip flops and threatening to go public like that. Mind you, even with these socks, he's not going public with me while wearing ANY sock and flip flop, but it will make a great gag gift.

[*Anya*]

I never realized so many of us have sock rules!

Almost every day my GF says: "Are you doing wash again?!

Yes dear.

The same rules for shower and bedtime socks and/or footies, apply to daytime socks.

It is a complex world we live in, us OCD types.

It keeps that washing machine going.

I can't even go into the rules for panties.

Those rules are even more complex and would need a separate thread.

Never mind.

[macele]

even in death, i want my socks. yes. i want to have brand new black ankle socks on. folks don't even have to sing and shout. just make sure that i have this wish.

So this post that I quoted, seems it is a kind of a combination of the Your Death and Post-Death Preferences thread and damn my socks are cute today thread.

Hmmm.

Interesting idea.


Here is a post that is a combo of the quote thread and the sock thread.

And here is a post that is a combination of the Baseball thread and the Damn my socks are cute thread. http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mrRc9GplIwwlkrWHety7TDw.jpg

[Mopsie]

:eek:

Let me tell you about what is called "wasting socks". "Wasting socks" is when you put new socks on for a short period of time. Socks are "wasted then", because unlike a pair of jeans (for example), socks cannot be "repeated" if worn for less than a day (except in case of emergency, see earlier beach post). You are making more laundry for yourself, and decreasing the lifespan of the sock due to all the washing, only for a couple of hours of enjoyment.

I can't believe you people.


ETA: "Slipper socks"? I have to look these things up. Perhaps there are different "wearing rules" for them.

Dapper, you know I luv ya, BUT this country was founded on the belief that each person is free to wear or not wear socks as they please! :readfineprint:



3. It is impossible to wash socks too often. It is ok to wear them for an hour, or less, then put the in the wash basket.


What Willow said!

Yes, slipper socks have different rules as they are really 'house shoes' and should be treated accordingly.


And what Gemme said!

[DapperButch]

I can't even go into the rules for panties.

Never mind.

I think I'm "normal" when it comes to underwear. I am not sure what kind of rules you can have around them. At least the wearing of them. You put them on and immediately they "count" as "dirty", right?

What kind of "rules"? How you wash them and such. The organizing of them? That kind of stuff?

[*Anya*]

Yes, slipper socks have different rules as they are really 'house shoes' and should be treated accordingly.

BUT

They should never go outside, no matter how close the garbage is or how dry the ground is.

Never.

Today: sky blue and hunter green rugby striped socks

Now: fluffy white slipper socks with a kitty face and little ears that stick up at the ankle. I am wearing them in bed and everything. AFTER I walked around on the floor. THE HORROR!!!!!

I am really glad I started this thread. There is some serious sock angst that clearly needed to be worked out. There's so much sock angst it's positively emo.

I really don't have any sock "rules". I re-wear mine when they haven't been worn long, I wear them in bed after I've walked on the floor, sometimes I even wear slipper socks more than one night in a row. I'm like a fucking sock rebel.

Today's socks

http://product-images.highwire.com/4233786/vannucci-black-grey-blue-stripe_290.jpg

I'm not good with descriptions so i just look for a close or identical pic of what i'm wearing and post it.

[Hollylane]

Today, I wore these black OTK cable knit socks:

http://www.sockittome.com/cart/images/detailed/1/116_ok0001_black.jpg

I was so glad it was finally cold enough to break these out! I wore them over black lace (lace rose design) leggings, with a long sleeve black shirt, and a gray/white/black jumper type dress, and the Mary Jane's Gaige picked out for me last winter. I was extremely comfy and cozy at work today! As a bonus, I felt extra specially girl like, and stuff. :blush:

[ahk]

Todays: athletic socks black w orange stripes (only wore for 30 minute cross fit workout).

[Rockinonahigh]

Geee i'm sort of off the grid,all I have is white gym sox then some grey kneehigh boot sox I rarely wear.THe only boots I have are roper cowboy boots and black combat boots,I have only worn tennis shoes or some loafer type shoe...boy am I way behind the times.

[Gemme]

I forgot to mention earlier what socks I was wearing! Black background with lavender heels and toes and Monkey Dance written in lavender here and there. Brown and beige monkeys dance around on the socks with their bananas.

Tre cute.

Anya, I am sorry to report that I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I had never taken off my slipper socks. :|

I have a horrible cold and was doped up on cough syryp with codeine when I moved from couch to bedroom. Normally I feel as you do about this issue ... but I am coming to realize when you are sick NONE of the normal rules matter. :blink:

Today's slipper socks = electric blue fuzzy. :)

Some socks are shoe dependent
Some socks are temperature dependent
Some socks are mood dependent

Todays sockage is tall and green. That is to say, wool, knee length hiking socks. They are temperature and mood dependent.

[Gemme]

I have homemade socks on. Not by me, of course, because I am ill-equipped with Susie Homemaker genes but by someone. They are brown and flecked with different shades of white and beige. Heels and toes are cream colored. They are warm which is good because the apartment is freezing. This trying to save electricity and money thing sucks.

I have white socks with Tweety all over them. I couldn't find any similar pic to post. Probably for the best.

Oooh those sound lovely! One day I want to learn how to knit socks. Right now I can only knit square or rectangular things. But one day ... :)

[willow]

Pure white fluffy fleece bed socks. Not for bed though, my feet (and the rest of me) must be naked for sleeping.

[BullDog]

I don't even know if I have the strength to write all this... but here we go...

So today was the dreaded match and purge black socks day (and other items). Yep, I have black socks of various lengths, hues you name it. Fun, fun, fun trying to match those puppies up. Fortunately, I was texting with a good friend, which did make the dreary chore much more pleasant. There may have even been some meta sock commentary involved. Even after the purge of mismatches, I still have way more black socks than I will ever need.

My Hanes classic white ankle socks arrived in the mail. Hooray! They are quite comfortable. However, thanks to Dapper, I am now not so sure I like the length. Gee thanks, lol.

(Nail clippers from California arrived fine. But how about my tennis shoes and flip flops??? Nooooo. What do I wear my new socks with? Yesterday I came home from lunch- Mexican food and a massive margarita- to find my nail clippers in the mail box and a box on the porch. Only the box was for a Jennifer. No Jennifer lives here, not to mention this isn't Bluefield Road, not even close. So I call the post office, they come and get Jennifer's box to take to her. Since I got a package in the mail box, I thought I got everything for the day. Plus I was a bit foggy from the margarita. I don't drink all that much, especially at lunch time, but trust me I needed it. But no, apparently I got Jennifer's stuff, and someone- perhaps Jennifer- got my shoes. Tracking says delivered. Yeah I guess. Just not to me. Today I get up and call the post office. The mail man brings me my socks and underwear. He says he will look for my shoes. Still no word. I call the post office late afternoon. They are gonna get back to me on that. Oh geeze. At least I got my hair cut today, that always makes me feel better.)

nothing special-- work socks. So I'm not gonna post since they aren't "CUTE".

Here's the thing: you are assuming I am a peaceable non violent individual in the first place. Also: I think the phrase "tiny PSEUDO SOCKS" says it all. Peds are not a full sock, they aren't even an ankle sock, they aren't nylons even if they are made of the same material. What are they? WHAT ARE THEY? :blink:

One of these things does not belong.

They both belong, of course. True to my screen name--I am capable of being sweet like candy one minute and a bitch the next. It makes perfect sense to me. :blueheels:

Yesterday: over the knee socks with bright, neon colored striped in fuchsia, blue, yellow, and orange. Some of the wide fuchsia stripes had yellow polka dots. Yes, they are as garish as they sound and yes, they had the desired effect.

Hmm. You're right I did lump you in with other peaceable non violent individuals who have become quite combative regarding the peds issue. I jumped the gun there. You are not a peaceable non violent individual unless you are. It fluctuates if I understand correctly. You are capable of going one way or the other.

What are peds? Peds is a brand name for what is called a footlet. I don't know who would call them that or even why. It makes no sense. Footlet. Now that angers me a bit. I guess I'm not very peaceable myself. But seriously what is a footlet? Why would someone name something that. A socklet perhaps, but a footlet?

The little hard plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets (sometimes spelled aiglets).

What?

What do you expect when you come at me with useless trivia?

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Also, speaking of DK, the music that plays during the first stage in Donkey Kong Country, in the level called "Jungle Hijinx", is actually three demo tracks pieced together.

Maybe it's called a footlet cuz it LETS the FOOT do something for which I do not know?

You know, the definition of footlet is: 'a low sock for women covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes, worn for protection or warmth'. So, that means all socks that rest beneath the ankle are footlets.

Hmmm....:thinking:

Which is kind of weird (to call a slipper a beddie), because you don't where slippers IN the bed.

She also calls a vaccuum cleaner a sweeper. Which of course makes no sense.

She calls taking the dog out to pee, "watering the dog".

LOL. Watering the dog.

Yes, it's a slipper but it's wearing a sign that claims it is a footlet, which, as we have come to understand, is a low sock covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes. I think it's having an identity crisis. I could wear a sign that says i'm a rutabaga but it wouldn't make me one. Seems we always come back to this on these boards. Who gets to say how we identify? We do. If i look at that way, I guess it's a footlet. But I think it might have been coerced. And it looks like a slipper to me.

My mother called them house slippers, I guess to distinguish them from all her other slippers. Her ballet slippers, her ballroom slippers, her glass slippers and of course her ruby slippers. There's no place like home.

I agree. Adding the ending "let" to the end of a word suggests that it is somehow smaller or more diminutive. So, we're really dealing here with a little sock-type-thing not a little FOOT. Just thinking about a footlet gives me the creeps.

And unless they have changed the meaning of adding "let" to the end of a word on Saturn, footlet would still be a dumb and annoying word.

No socks but in honor of Sesame Street's birthday I dug these out of the closet to match my cookie monster boxers.

Hoping for cookies.

[candy_coated_bitch]

*tosses Tick a cookie* Those are very cute, non-disturbing slippers!

Yesterday: black and white striped ankle socks (NOT footlets) with pink around the ankle and a Helloy Kitty face on top

[Gemme]

It's been much cooler lately so I've been wearing two pairs of socks at a time since almost all of my socks (procurred in TX and FL) are thin. For work, I put the simple, one tone socks on the outside and for play, I put them on the inside of the colored and/or patterned socks.

Yesterday, I had cornflower blue inside and white with black polka dots and orange, blue and pink flowers outside.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Sounds very fun, Gemme! You are a good sock example.

I am a terrible sock example. My sockage has been horrendous.

Today: so far bare feet
Yesterday: UNPLANNED mismatched socks because I'm not at home an couldn't fin matching ones. They were both ankle socks. One with maroon and pink writing and stars that say "Bow to your sensei!". The other pale yellow with blue heels and toes and sparkly turtles on top of the foot that say "slacker".
Day before: oatmeal colored wool socks (gag) because it's COLD!

[willow]

Big, pink and fluffy. Like a candy floss on each foot only without the sticky.

[ahk]

I've been just sporting athletic socks as of lately. -- but they aren't just plain.

Friday: black with orange stripes
Saturday: brown with green/turquoise houndstooth all over.
Sunday: white with green stripes
Today: dark blue with green polka dots.

Today, I was at Walmart with a client and saw so many socks not to be mentioned on this thread and I so wanted to take a picture and send it to CCB, but I ran out of time to do so. Maybe next time.

Only cause I love ya!

[Cin]

I can't find a picture of them, but they're plain white ankle socks with a kind of Tigger decal or picture sewn on the sides. Not good at descriptions, need pics.

I think you described them just fine! Go cuteness!

I've been wearing more wool socks because it's so fucking cold. Yet, conversely, now my feet are bare. I fail you, my sock friends. :sock:

[Gemme]

Dark blue thin socks under, thick beigy brown cream colored handmade socks outside.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Knee high toe socks (which I just typo-ed as "cocks" :|) that are purple with thin yellow and black stripes and a monkey face on the top of the foot that the toes go into.

[Sweet Bliss]

http://www.shopforfun.com/item/7342/generation-x-ray-socks

cuuuute socks... are you paying attention Santa?

I've been very very good. :gimmehug:

[CherryBlonde]

They are white ....with pink trim....and they say "Princess" on them :D

[Gemme]

Inside: pale purple, not quite lavender but close, that's got a bit of grey in it
Outside: more brown and cream socks that will keep my toes from falling off

[willow]

The pale grey ones :)

[candy_coated_bitch]

Yesterday: Mismatched striped ankle socks. One with bright stripes that has a bear with underwear on its head that says "BE WEIRD". The other with pastel glitter stripes that has a heart on top of the foot that says "Napoleon Dynamite" in it.

I think I might be experiencing some sock psychosis.

Right now: Bare feet. I am being indecisive about which slipper socks to put on.

[Gemme]

Inside: white socks with dark denim blue (the color, not the fabric) toes, heels and a stripe at the top of the sock and purple, pink, red and blue flowers.

Outside: blueish purple socks with beige kitty faces and pink and black swirls and doodles.

Bonus: slipper socks in fuzzy purple and golden yellow, close to LSU colors.

[Daktari]

Blue, cable-knit style, Pringle socks.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Um, what are Pringle socks? I am going to assume this has nothing to do with potato chips?

Yesterday: sheer black knee highs with silver sparkles!
Today: still not dressed.

[Gemme]

Single layer since it was warm today. Dark blue, thin and in need of darning in the big toes.

[Kelt]

Um, what are Pringle socks? I am going to assume this has nothing to do with potato chips?


I'm thinking they are the practically bespoke goodies from across the pond. $$$

One can hope.

:chaplin:

ETA: I just checked, looks like we can get them through amazon here too. Not too pricey either, I like the tops.

Nothin' at all to do with those toobs of salty, spudliscious, snackage.

Pringle is/was a golfing 'brand'. They make all sorts of stuffs.

My Pringle socks, of which I have around 6 pairs, are wearing really well at 5yrs old...I can date when I bought them exactly.


Speaking of which... I have socks that are 10+yrs old and in very good condition, no holes etc. Does anyone else have socks they've worn forever?

[Gemme]

Nope. I'm a pacer and walk a LOT during work so I'm hard on them. The big toes go first and then the heels and it's all downhill from there.

[cara]

I think my inability to be able to wear fun, colorful, stripey socks lately is bringing my mood down. Tomorrow,I'm wearing the fun, Neapolitan ones with my favorite pair of brown and light pink Chucks.

So there.

Nope. I think the oldest pair are about 4yrs old, ish.

Today I'm wearing my favourite teddy bear socks. Soft towelling in various shades of brown and gold with little sticky out ears. Great fit, perfect length. They were a present and are wearing out now. I've looked and looked for more like them but can't find the perfect pair :sigh:

Well, I had no idea. But then again I do not play golf and am not sporty, nor do I wear sporty socks.

I DO have socks that are 10+ years old that I still wear. I guess Gemme and willow are harder on their socks than me. Or I just have a more difficult time parting with some old favorites. There are a few pairs that are probably a bit too worse for the wear and should be thrown away or something that normal people do.

Yeah, cara!!!! That's the spirit. :)

Yesterday: white with pink and purple leopard print and a pink kitty face on top of the end of the socks where to toes go in.
Today: oatmeal colored wool socks I stole from my bf because it's fucking COLD!!!!

[ahk]

Today: black socks w red chili pepppers.

[WolfyOne]

I had on my white socks for work earlier (Gemme in my defense, they at least had 2 grey stripes around the top)
Currently sockless with flip flops and sweat shorts on
It is a very nice day here today and I want to soak it up for a few more days until I really have to break out the socks, footies and whatever else I'll need to stay warm when the weather changes again.

[Kelt]

I'm not sure if this should go with underwear or socks, but it seems more sockish to me. As an always worn/carried item rarely seen by the public, am I the only one who still carries a handkerchief?

My fave is the good old fashioned very soft white cotton grandpa kind that folds to slightly larger than my wallet.

I also remember growing up when my mother wouldn't be caught dead without some flower trimmed and freshly pressed 'hanky' in her purse.

Purple, double layer, walking socks.

I used to worry that your old ass would never get a date because you have your age listed on your profile. Now, with this post attached to your name forevermore, I am glad it is there! Geez!

My father always had a hankerchief in his pocket, as well. Just the kind you describe. I remember my mother ironing them.

I remember my mother having a hankerchief too, but it was more if she was dressed up or something. In her purse she typically had/has tissues.

[candy_coated_bitch]

They invented disposable tissues for a reason, people.

Another sock derail:

My partner is very, um, habitual in the way he does all things. (Read: boring.) I am a VERY colorful, vibrant, expressive, and even flamboyant person in my dress. (I'm sure this surprises you all.) But he likes things the same way every time SO much that it carries over into his clothing. He wears literally the same thing every day. EVERY. DAY.

Not as in literally the same shirt that he never washes, but he owns a number of the same things in the same color and all winter all he fucking wears are his jeans (which are all the same), a hunter green river driver shirt from LL Bean, and tan socks. Ugh.

One day he showed up on one of our dates wearing a tan river driver. And I nearly had an instantaneous orgasm at the change of color. And TAN ISN'T EVEN A FUCKING COLOR!!!!! I HATE tan LOLOLOL.

Yet, I really could hardly contain myself with that damn tan shirt. He is starving my poor artist's eyes, I tell you. I need color!

Today: my feet are still naked but I will keep you updated.

And, yes I am wearing them in bed, because that's where on wears cozy items of clothing.

Today: light purple with darker purple heels, toes, and trim with snowflakes and a penguin on top of the foot. The penguin has a blue glitter scarf. Yay glitter! Boo tan!

[DapperButch]

I had to look them up. The sound of this two layer fabric sound comfortable and practical. Warm, but not heavy. I hate heavy clothing (except leather jackets).

They are very warm and snuggly, actually. I steal them all the time because they are both toasty and comfortable. I'm wearing the dark brown one right now (*puke* at the color, but what can you do?) because who needs a color beyond green, right? I recommend them if you don't like bulky, heavy clothing but need to keep warm in winter an chit.

:| <-------can't believe I just said that face LOL

PS: I am buying him the burnt sienna and nautical heather for Christmas because I am sick of green!!!!!!!

[WolfyOne]

First let me say that it's cold here today :blink:

I'm doing laundry and sitting here in blue sweats and black tee shirt with my white crew socks and over them I put on these blue and grey (I think they're called footies) fuzzy sort of like socks, my ex gave me a few years back...and my flip flops :|

I have no reason to go outside today.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Oh, Wolfy. Wolfy, Wolfy, Wolfy.

Where did you go wrong over the years? You sure as hell don't have a reason to be going outside in two pairs of socks with flip flops over them!

Major sock violation.

[cara]

Yesterday, i got to wear my over-the-knee stripey socks in my favorite shades of pink and purple. I was a happy camper.

:sock:

Just learned about a local (for me) sock store. Trips to PDX sock stores and paying for shipping may be a thing of my past. Woohoo!

OMG, soooooooo jealous!!!!!! I am pretty sure I don't have a store nearby that sells just socks. I know of stores that sell some cool socks, just not one devoted to socks.

My feet are naked. I finally turned my heat on tonight and now I'm hot. I feel like I am going through early menopause or something.

cara--we are all relying on you to carry the sock thread, here!

[candy_coated_bitch]

MUST HAVE (http://thesockmonster.com/index.php/all/shop-by-style/knee-high/rainbowblast.html)

I've already found like ten pairs I need. Damn, you!

Now: Red fuzzy bed socks because it's cold as FUCK!
Yesterday: Light blue ankle socks with brown heels, toes, and trim that say "PEDRO OFFERS HIS PROTECTION" in pink and brown letters. (If you are a Napoleon Dynamite geek you will understand this.)

[Gemme]

Inside: white crew socks with blue bands, heels and toes and blue, pink and green argyle pattern.

Outside: blue and black wool socks.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Grey knee socks with thin, brightly colored stripes in pink, blue, orange, yellow and green.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Rose colored fluffy bed socks. They came in a set of three--a rose colored pair, a black pair, and a striped pair with rose, black, and white stripes. It makes me wish I could wear the whole set at once.

OMG--who else layered several pairs of socks in the 80's, wore them with high top sneakers, and rolled up their jeans to show them off?

<---------Totally did that.

Sock layering is more functional than fun for me. Poor circulation plus low temps make for freezing tootsies. I do it nearly every day in winter.

I'm doing it RIGHT NOW.

:blink:

BTW, I totally got cute, fuzzy, super soft socks for Christmas.

:sock:

[kittygrrl]

my socks are just sad, i need cute socks w/ :rubberducky::rubberducky: and :hk1:

[Daktari]

Today my feets sport grey wool hiking socks, these along with the new goretex/leather boots will keep m'toesies warm today.

[DapperButch]

The sock thread! Layering has always freaked me out. I have the sensation of one sock sliding inside the other and it disturbs me.

The only winter adjustment is whit ankle socks to white crew (6 inch up the foot) socks. For work, there are times I will wear thicker cotton socks instead of the trouser/dress socks. I work inside though, so it doesn't matter much.

[Gemme]

The socks only slide around if they or the shoes don't fit well. It's good to match a thinner sock with a thicker sock on the outside.

Well, since you are the layering queen, you should know! I thought it was more of a problem if it was a thinner sock inside a thicker sock. I don't know. I just remember the feeling (eons ago), was creepy. If I wasn't so lazy I would get off of this recliner, go upstairs, and try it again!

Sooooo, it happened last night. Being 5 degrees outside, it got a bit cold in here. Mostly because I didn't consider that I was up later than usual and my automatic temperature control changed to overnight temperature level..5 degrees colder.:blink: My feet were freezing and I remembered Ms. Gemme and her layering. Indeed, it works! Warm toes!

[Gemme]

It's nice to be appreciated!

[candy_coated_bitch]

I purposefully bought plain black ankle socks this weekend.

BUT, I had a good reason, I swear! Every now and again in life you just have to tone down the sockage to show off your bright red shoes.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Apparently I went out tonight wearing only one sock. It was yellow with pictures of nail polish bottles on it. On the other foot I wore only my sneaker.

I have no idea what to make of this.

[Cid]

I love my fuzzy socks. I've got every colour imaginable. People make fun of me and can't understand why I would wear such thick socks but when they are so soft on my feet, I can't resist!

Fuzzy purple slipper socks. Super soft and cosy.

I've learned that it's best to wear a pair of my white gym crew socks with a pair of longer wool socks with my boots on snow and slush days but it's good to wear a thin pair of socks with thicker socks, but not necessarily wool, on cold and dry days. For regular winter days, a good thick pair of socks can do it or two thinner pair.

I have not been to the institute of sock mental illness but then again, I've never gone to work in just one sock.

(I sacrificed all sense of fashion for that dryer part. We almost fixed it. I did put the do hickies on backwards and/or upside down three times in a row (the pieces that hold the heating coils in place) but it wasn't my fault cuz I asked first. I tried every which way to hold the heating element up so my friend coud drill it in to the back of the dryer, but yeah finally had to assume the position on my hands and knees to hold it in place. It's a good thing I had those big blue fuzzy socks on because the basement is cold. Then my friend almost got electrocuted while I was telling a story. In the morning she went to finish up. After it was all done, she went to push the dryer back to the wall and heard a large pop. :| The new dryer will be here on Thursday.)

I am wearing my favorite socks- gray wool with cushy lining. I love, love, love them. I have 2 pair.
