So are mine. They are really cute. But the cuteness doesn't change the fact that they make me want to crawl out of my skin.

And just to prevent anyone else from thinking I wear sport socks with dress shoes, I don't.

We can't all be fashionistas and wear the trendiest shoes with the coolest socks.

Why not? It's not that hard.

But, now I'm picturing Erica in her cool pointey toe shoes with white crew socks. Sexy mama!

Because some of us don't want to follow the trend and prefer to march to the beat of our own drum. If we all followed the trends we'd all look alike and that would be so freeking boring.

Now back to our regularly scheduled sock thread.

I'll check Target again, and maybe take a gander in the mens section. And I'll check out Old Navy (sans girls or running into the building with my car). Kohls doesn't have anything.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

But, you yourself are a trendy dresser. I don't think you're boring.

In the vein of my shopping methods earlier, I generally have only one type of sock and I buy like 25 pairs of them. That way I never have to worry about finding matching socks.

I wear Champion socks for the most part. At some point Lani bought me a package of gray ones so those are mixed in. As they develop holes I throw them away; once I get down to a week's worth of socks I'll go out and buy a bunch more. If they're different from the ones I have I'll get rid of all the older ones.

I've never noticed socks fitting well or poorly so I'm not picky.

Socks are simply functional. I don't see them as fun or fashionable. I wear black socks with black shoes (when I must), brown socks with brown shoes (when I must), and white crew socks with anything else. Prefer bare feet.

Now I'm looking for good socks on the internet.

http://www.sock-dreams.com/_shop/pages/socks_all.php Cool and cute ones.

The trendy tube sock is back: http://www.skatersocks.com/

And I found VERY expensive and cool men's socks from England that I won't even post a link to. At $25 a pair, they are nice to look at but not to buy.

I know a place in Paris where you can get some really tacky Eifel Tower socks.

I have to say that SOMEONE was really upset that I bring back tacky Boston socks.
