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

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.

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.

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.

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.

They invented disposable tissues for a reason, people.

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.

Returning from derail; today was navy blue argyles.
