I am here in solidarity to protest the footlet.
(I have nothing to add when it comes to socks. I go barefoot or wear flip flops/sandals with my shorts and t shirts, even when going out at night in November. I could get used to this.) |

Maybe footlets are all the rage on Saturn. You don't know. All I see when I see that house slipper is warmth. <--has poor circulation Quote:
Calling a vacuum a sweeper is not strange. It's generational and regional. Some people call water fountains bubblers. Quote:
So sad. |

I been outta there almost eleven years and I still drop my Rs And unless they have changed the meaning of adding "let" to the end of a word on Saturn, footlet would still be a dumb and annoying word. |
No socks but in honor of Sesame Street's birthday I dug these out of the closet to match my cookie monster boxers.

*tosses Tick a cookie* Those are very cute, non-disturbing slippers!
Yesterday: black and white striped ankle socks (NOT footlets) with pink around the ankle and a Helloy Kitty face on top |
It's been much cooler lately so I've been wearing two pairs of socks at a time since almost all of my socks (procurred in TX and FL) are thin. For work, I put the simple, one tone socks on the outside and for play, I put them on the inside of the colored and/or patterned socks.
Yesterday, I had cornflower blue inside and white with black polka dots and orange, blue and pink flowers outside. |
Sounds very fun, Gemme! You are a good sock example.
I am a terrible sock example. My sockage has been horrendous. Today: so far bare feet Yesterday: UNPLANNED mismatched socks because I'm not at home an couldn't fin matching ones. They were both ankle socks. One with maroon and pink writing and stars that say "Bow to your sensei!". The other pale yellow with blue heels and toes and sparkly turtles on top of the foot that say "slacker". Day before: oatmeal colored wool socks (gag) because it's COLD! |
Big, pink and fluffy. Like a candy floss on each foot only without the sticky.
|
I've been just sporting athletic socks as of lately. -- but they aren't just plain.
Friday: black with orange stripes Saturday: brown with green/turquoise houndstooth all over. Sunday: white with green stripes Today: dark blue with green polka dots. Today, I was at Walmart with a client and saw so many socks not to be mentioned on this thread and I so wanted to take a picture and send it to CCB, but I ran out of time to do so. Maybe next time. Only cause I love ya! |
I can't find a picture of them, but they're plain white ankle socks with a kind of Tigger decal or picture sewn on the sides. Not good at descriptions, need pics.

I've been wearing more wool socks because it's so fucking cold. Yet, conversely, now my feet are bare. I fail you, my sock friends. :sock: |
Dark blue thin socks under, thick beigy brown cream colored handmade socks outside.
|
Knee high toe socks (which I just typo-ed as "cocks" :|) that are purple with thin yellow and black stripes and a monkey face on the top of the foot that the toes go into.

cuuuute socks... are you paying attention Santa? I've been very very good. :gimmehug: |
They are white ....with pink trim....and they say "Princess" on them :D
|
Inside: pale purple, not quite lavender but close, that's got a bit of grey in it
Outside: more brown and cream socks that will keep my toes from falling off |
|
Yesterday: Mismatched striped ankle socks. One with bright stripes that has a bear with underwear on its head that says "BE WEIRD". The other with pastel glitter stripes that has a heart on top of the foot that says "Napoleon Dynamite" in it.
I think I might be experiencing some sock psychosis. Right now: Bare feet. I am being indecisive about which slipper socks to put on. |
Inside: white socks with dark denim blue (the color, not the fabric) toes, heels and a stripe at the top of the sock and purple, pink, red and blue flowers.
Outside: blueish purple socks with beige kitty faces and pink and black swirls and doodles. Bonus: slipper socks in fuzzy purple and golden yellow, close to LSU colors. |
Blue, cable-knit style, Pringle socks.
|
Um, what are Pringle socks? I am going to assume this has nothing to do with potato chips?
Yesterday: sheer black knee highs with silver sparkles! Today: still not dressed. |
Single layer since it was warm today. Dark blue, thin and in need of darning in the big toes.

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

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? |
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. |

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 :sigh: |
Quote:
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. Quote:
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!!!! |
Today: black socks w red chili pepppers.
|
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. |

You've been very naked lately. I'm sure that totally makes up for at least 2 years of usage, right? |

Purple, double layer, walking socks.
|
Inside: argyle, various shades of blue plus white
Outside: warm, brown and creamy fuzzy goodness |
Kelt, my friend....

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. :-)
