Longsocks
With the nip of winter still in the air, layers rule, even on legs!
Well, spring may be in the air, but it’s still a little chilly, so I paired the bordeaux 50 inch crazy long socks with my black thick and buggy longsocks for a yummy, arch-hugging way to keep me warm the whole day long! The black have lovely ribbing on the arches, but the bordeaux do not, for though Niqkita and I are fans of the tiny, subtle foot massage that is arch ribbing, some aren’t, for aesthetic reasons. The bordeaux aren’t as thick as the thick and baggy black socks, and fit the length of my leg (I’m 5′10″), with a tiny bit of scrunch at the knees and a pair of sock garters to hold up the tops. Probably the most comfortable 50 inch socks here at sock dreams, especially if you need just a little bit more stretch, as the looser weave allows more room than the thick white and black longsocks. That’s all for now; soon I’ll be testing out the cubans that Eliza reviewed recently as well as their counterpart from another brand. Check back! :)

I actually keep this monitor dark on purpose so that I can check my work. I think it’s only a small percentage of monitors, but every monitor I ever checked at Powell’s books is darker and our monitor upstairs (which is old) sees images even darker so (like many things with web design) I still try to be careful for the minority…
