I tend to wear fun, different socks when I am having a hard day to help me out a little bit. Last Saturday I had wanted to wear my "frog" socks. These are great as they are also slipper socks and have frog feet on the bottom to prevent slippage. I hadn't really gotten around to sorting or putting my clothes away after doing laundry that week. All my clothes were still in my laundry basket. I reached in grabbed one frog sock and then another sock and went on my way. Later that afternoon is when I realized that I was wearing two different socks. I just laughed about it, as I'm sure many of you have worn two different socks as well and not realized it. (at least they were the same color) But the only problem of wearing two different socks is that you need to wear a similar pair again because you still have another same unmatched pair that is still clean. Yesterday was an unmatched day for me again. I realize that it's fun to wear unmatched socks. It reminds me of being young and wanting to develop more independence, thus dressing yourself and creating your own fashion style. I think this would also delete the hassle of having to match socks when you are putting away laundry.

One of these socks is not like the other

That is why I buy all white socks for my children. Church socks are hard enough to find for Sunday!
Sarah - I can not believe that your boys have not discovered the joys of fun character socks! I am so grateful that I have your family for Christmas this year.
Why even wear socks? My feet love the "natural" look - bare. I never have to worry about matching feet.
I hate matching socks. I'm all for starting a new trend, Kathryn. I'm not sure my kids will go with it, though.
I would be right along with you Jen on starting the trend of not matching socks. Have you played the game "Go Socks" with your kids. It's just like Go Fish but with socks. You give everyone some socks and you go around asking people for colors trying to find a match.
Mom - I would FREEZE if I didn't have socks on!
