Tomorrow's paycheck is now mentally spent.

€uroMeinke · 04-20-2006, 08:55 PM

Socks are my clothing nemisis. I have way too many, mostly black and most of the ones that aren't black are still dark. When I get up in the morning to dress it's still dark outside and my eyes haven't fully adjusted so I sometimes end up wearing socks that don't match the rest of what I am wearing. I have tried to rememdy this by creating different zones in my sock drawer - but with so many, it's still only a matter of time.

The other dilema comes at laundry time when trying to match pairs - it takes forever and I always hang on to the loan sock in anticipation of it's mates return.

Also few of my socks are "fun" - I want more fun socks

Whoda thunk it that a thread asking for sock suggestions would turn into a 40+ post thread.

Is a loan sock anything like a loan shark?

I am a total sock snob, and I have no problem with addmitting that and being post #46 in this thread. I used to buy mine at J C Penney's, but I don't like their socks anymore and I am having the same sock dilema. I am not a cool sock person at all. I wear a uniform at work and work shoes, so it must be a decent thickness because I am on my feet and constantly walk all day long. My socks MUST BE all white that MUST fit perfect.

sigh I have a serious sock issue!

Socks.

White athletic ones from Costco. (Not Champions, I hate the "C" on the socks.) Someone just made me buy a whole bunch last week. (I love the feel of new socks.) Anytime Joan "Ralphie" Crawford sees any holes in my socks he makes me throw them out.

I also love my thick wool socks for the winter. I also have black socks for more dressy occasions.

I can't wear the ankle cut socks with jeans/pants. It feels funny. I'll wear them with shorts.

(In the 70's, I had purple Donnie and Marie socks.)

I like the Gold Toe ankle socks (the toe isn't gold, there's just a gold stripe). I sometimes even wear them with long pants. They're comfy for walking.

They may be boring, but no one sees them, since they're entirely inside the shoe.

That's why I never usually buy socks with prints on them. No one sees them. :shrug:

There's nothing like the feel of new socks in new shoes. Love that.

I do hate the fuzz you get all over your feet sometimes from new socks, even after a wash.

Sock fuzz.

I haven't had that problem in a while. Maybe I need new socks.
