Layers among the stacks
Today I’m wearing the purple Skater Stripes with the brown Boy’s Socks over them…
I like the skater stripes because they are light & stay up really well plus I LOVE the color combos. Yesterday I was wearing the green ones, so pretty! I like the boy socks because they are so simple yet comfy. I had put so much energy into getting lots of long & thick styles the past couple of years that we didn’t have much in the way of simple anklets under our own label, but these are perfect and even better layered.
In the upper level of our house of socks we have three rooms, I am sitting in room 1 in this picture, it is where the half socks, bootie socks, anklets, midcalves & toesocks live and there is plenty of room for more stack & shelves which makes me very happy ~:) I will be even happier when we start catching up and I can get more stacks and shelves and get them filled. And filled they will be! so much coming, lots & lots of cute socks and more, so much more. I’m starting to adjust to the new arrangement and hope to actually get some socks added tomorrow…

Great post! I love your skirt, or pants, or whatever those may be. I have the exact same stacking drawers in my closet! :) Although, there aren’t that many…yet! ;)

Brown and black don’t go together?!?! - crap! - thanks for telling me before I left the house….

I think it’s rediculous to say what does and does not go together. Yes, some color combinations are more pleasing to the eye than others, but that is the beauty of expression! Hell, I wear brown and black all the time. It is just a matter of personal preference. A very odd color combination is grey and orange, and I have a pair of (now discontinued) ozone skin socks with that EXACT stripe combination, and I adore them. I say, if you like it, wear it! :)

What about plaid AND stripes?

Plaid and Stripes is another thing that doesn’t commonly go together but I’ve seen it work as well. There’s always an exception or two to every “rule”

I love grey…I think of it kinda as a neutral….I always thought everything looks good with grey….??….I am gonna go with Alexandra’s point- it’s just what feels/looks good to your eye….wanting to see the whole outfit now…sounds adorable….
