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

[Gemme]

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

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

One can hope.



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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

It's possible. It could be usage too.

You've been very naked lately.

I'm sure that totally makes up for at least 2 years of usage, right?

I carry a hanky (most days). My Pops always has too. I prefer the old dude type like him and you too.

Purple, double layer, walking socks.

[Gemme]

Inside: argyle, various shades of blue plus white
Outside: warm, brown and creamy fuzzy goodness

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.

[cara]

I have striped, happy feet. :-)

If you are referring to the age of refinement and decorum I accept your compliment. *laddie*

There is the art and science of strategic folding.

Part of the fun of posting eccentricities are the rep comments. I get to find others of my particular ilk.



Returning from derail; today was navy blue argyles.

[Sweet Bliss]

sans socks this evening.

[DapperButch]

Black trouser socks by day, athletic socks by night....
