sometimes the small things in life are the best. take my socks. we’ve had such a cold spell here that i’ve been craving a nice pair of wool socks. i think i’ve had a total of two pairs in my entire life. fortunately, we have a little store on ocean ave. in carmel called THE SOCK SHOP. and thankfully, they had a nice selection of wool socks. i wanted something in black, or gray, or maybe black and gray, plain, or maybe stripes, or even polka dots.
i eyed a lovely pair in cashmere with black and gray stripes. but cashmere is so expensive. i discovered that a brand called SMART WOOL makes socks in sizes. hooray! a standard women’s size sock tends to bunch up on my short feet, so the idea having a sock in a size small was appealing. i decided to start with a trial pair—black, not too thick, with a sort of cable-knit pattern.
i couldn’t wait to try them out. i have not been disappointed. GREAT socks! really comfy, non-binding, just the right thickness, warm but not too warm, and perfect with my numerous pairs of black shoes. it’s all i can do not to keep staring at my socks! did you know that wool socks feel less sweaty than cotton socks? a true fact, confirmed by the saleswoman at THE SOCK SHOP and my own personal experience.
so easy to please,
esme
