I'm all about sock layering!

OMG--who else layered several pairs of socks in the 80's, wore them with high top sneakers, and rolled up their jeans to show them off?

<---------Totally did that.

Sock layering is more functional than fun for me. Poor circulation plus low temps make for freezing tootsies. I do it nearly every day in winter.

I'm doing it RIGHT NOW.

BTW, I totally got cute, fuzzy, super soft socks for Christmas.

Today my feets sport grey wool hiking socks, these along with the new goretex/leather boots will keep m'toesies warm today.

The sock thread! Layering has always freaked me out. I have the sensation of one sock sliding inside the other and it disturbs me.

The only winter adjustment is whit ankle socks to white crew (6 inch up the foot) socks. For work, there are times I will wear thicker cotton socks instead of the trouser/dress socks. I work inside though, so it doesn't matter much.

The socks only slide around if they or the shoes don't fit well. It's good to match a thinner sock with a thicker sock on the outside.

Well, since you are the layering queen, you should know! I thought it was more of a problem if it was a thinner sock inside a thicker sock. I don't know. I just remember the feeling (eons ago), was creepy. If I wasn't so lazy I would get off of this recliner, go upstairs, and try it again!

Sooooo, it happened last night. Being 5 degrees outside, it got a bit cold in here. Mostly because I didn't consider that I was up later than usual and my automatic temperature control changed to overnight temperature level..5 degrees colder.

My feet were freezing and I remembered Ms. Gemme and her layering. Indeed, it works! Warm toes!
