Fashion Staples

So when do you do laundry? 

What are the items in your closet or drawer that you must have?

Underwear!!!  For sure!

White Tshirt!!

and SOCKS!!!!!!!

Socks are a daily hamper toss necessity.  Yet it is probably the last thing we think of buying during our shopping trip to the mall.  How many times have you resorted to re-wearing the same pair? 😕Maybe even wearing your nicest black sport socks for work instead? 😳Or worst yet, digging in the hamper for the least smelly one?😫

Mall and shopping outings with family and friends are fun because we shop for a new shirt at Zara, the latest Yeezys, or a new fall jacket at H&M or Express.  

How often have you gone out and looked sharp from your top to you shoes but just had simple socks that just simply blended in with what you wore?  why not complete the look 💯 % and not just 95%

When we do happen to shop for work, we focus on a pair of slacks, a button down and perhaps a brown belt we don't have yet, however socks are rarely in that picture because we always assume we have enough. 

We are usually so wrapped up in work, school, family events, kids activities and spending time with friends that what we need is often on the back burner.  

Wouldn't a monthly sock subscription make our hectic lives just that much easier????

What if you could get 1-4 fashionable, eye catching socks every month without even thinking about it?  Give everyone something to notice when you bend down to tie your shoe, when you cross your leg and when you take off your shoes at someone's home.

Give yourselves one less thing to worry 😫about but one more thing to enjoy🤗!!!

Definition

The Webster's dictionary 📕defines a sock as: a knitted or woven covering for the foot usually worn under shoes and extending above the ankle and sometimes to the knee.

In ancient times, socks were made from leather or matted animal hair.  In the late 16th century, machine-knit socks were first produced. Until 1800 both hand knitting and machine knitting were used to produce socks, but after 1800, machine knitting became the predominant method.

One of the roles of socks is absorbing perspiration 😓.  The foot is among the heaviest producers of sweat in the body, as it can produce over 0.25 US pints (0.12 l) of perspiration per day.[2] Socks help to absorb this sweat and draw it to areas where air can evaporate the perspiration. In cold environments, socks made from wool insulate the foot and decrease the risk of frostbite ❄️❄️❄️

Currently, socks in fashion continue to evolve.  For work 👔one can be traditional and wear black dress socks and on another day wear green with poke a dots or purple stripes.

With fall officially here, let's rock a funky thigh high sock to go with your trendy over the knee knee boot.  

Why wear plain sport socks for your run 🏃 or workout 💪 when you can add some flare 💥with a wild and crazy pair 😝

Let Socks and I help you further heighten your self expression 👍.

Give More Meaning to Your Socks

No matter where you live or where you are from, we can all relate to one come thing...Losing one sock in that infamous dryer...aka "the sock monster" aka "the vortex of lost socks".  So what happens when we lost that sock?  Well, we are left with a  pile of very lonely socks that hope to someday be reunited with their long lost pair or we are succombed to rock 2 of similar colored socks or perhaps slip on 2 socks of similar shades, hoping no one looks closely enough or if you are adventurous, just live by the "mix and match, don't care" motto.  

In life, we have many roles.  A woman can be a business woman by day, PTA president/bake sale leader by 6pm, Super-Mom/Wife by 7pm.  A man can be Doctor by day, Soccer coach by the afternoon and artist for their 5th grader by night.  

So what can we do to prevent those socks from living a lonely and more purposeful life?  

Here are a few pointers:

- Sock Puppets - introduce your lonely sock to those exciled buttons and make a fun puppet

- Sock Monkey - While you're at it, stuff a sock ad show off those sewing skills by making an adorable doll

- Planter pot decor - Bring the crafty side out and grab an old printed sock and wrap them around a few of you smaller plant's pots.  I saw several cute ideas on Pinterest

- Duster - Save a tree and use one of your older socks for some weekend cleaning

- Hard to reach cleaning - Stick a broom stick in a sock and reach clean under the stove, the side of the fridge, between the cables behind that TV stand

- Glove - I don't mean for warmth but to protect those hands when using harsh chemicals such as bleach and Comet when attacking those bathroom and kitchen germs

- Secret stash holder - Keep that rainy day cash in it for safe keeping

So as you can see, socks can serve many purposes other than styling your feet and keeping them warm.
