The Socks Story!

I was reading a post on socks, which inspired me to write about them. I went shoe shopping the day before and got a great pair of sneakers (thanks Dad!). So naturally I wanted to get some socks to go with them. New shoes new socks that kind of funda works with me.

I remember the socks I wore when I was a kid. Lace edged ones that my mother would lovingly buy. Some would be dressed up with bows; some with small roses or even the colours would be different.

Then of course we had the boring white ones for school. The length kept diminishing (of course) by the time we reached class twelve. So wearing ankle length socks became the fad. No matter how cold it will be ankle length would work just fine for us girls. :)
Oh, we did have dark green socks for our winter uniforms in Delhi. It kinda complimented the uniform even though it was a yucky dark green.

The best thing about buying socks nowadays is that it comes in different colours and designs. You have striped ones, ten different colours in one pair; designs like ponies, hearts, butterflies and what not.

So I bought two pairs -one in deep purple and white with hearts and the other in deep magenta with green and white stripes…shocking, I know but I couldn’t resist them.

Wearing plain whites or even blacks & blues is sooo boring. The different colours actually remind you of a candy shop. Well they actually perk up my mood.

I don’t think they would look nice on men- the colourful ones I mean. :P
