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.

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.

Well thank you. I don't look at myself as a trendy dresser. I wear what is comfortable, and if it's 5 seasons old I don't care. Most of my clothes are bought on clearance at the end of the season, already out of style. I suppose needing/buying clothing would make me a trendy dresser by default since most of what is in the stores is what is in style for the season.

Yes, I shop at the Gap. At this point it's for convienance. Years ago (before you all knew me) it was my goal to one day wear Gap clothing. And now it's so easy to go in and pick up a pair of jeans without trying them on.

I like jeans, sweatshirts, t-shirts and tennies (I know, I know, such a shock! )

I do appriciate the compliment. I don't see you as a trend follower, but you are always dressed stylishly.

And nylon socks still make me want to crawl out of my skin.

But hey, at least my tennies are have sparkles in them

Thanks! I only follow the modern trends I want to and let the major influence by waaaaaay old - like 1930's and 40's. Now, seamed stockings are my idea of really cool socks.
