Thanks so much for the information! :D

Oh yeah, on the topic of no show socks! I found a really good pair at my local grocery store (hahaha, seriously) under a brand called something like “No Nonsense” socks, I think. There is a little rubber grippy piece on the inside heel part so they rarely slip, and they really are EXTREME no-shows that don’t even fully cover the toes (they had other no-show types that came up higher too). They are great for summery flats, but I find that none of the heels I’ve tried to wear them in so far really cover everything.

We could barely tell the difference between the two blends, they are more snug than the olive pair you got Delijay, but are longer and looser than Penny’s (hurray for Dr Horrible btw!!!). I can see about getting us more shorter ones like that, I have been thinking maybe it is tiume to back off on arm warmers for a while due to warmer weather coming, but I do still wear a pair nearly every day, at least in the morning.

Meg, the lace trimmed only come in white right now, but we do have other very similar MP styles in more colors due very soon so hopefully one of them will be just right!

I hate to stomp on someone’s question, but I had a question too. I am loving the MP lace trimmed ankle socks and I wonder if you’ll be getting them in other colors.

They are enough cotton to be really cool and comfortable and they are sooooo cute!

Hi, I have a question about the new arm warmers. I am loving the argyle ones… Is there any notable difference between the two blends as far as softness, stretch, size, etc. go?

I already have a pair of harajuku arm warmers in olive, and I was hoping they would be smaller and the fit would be snug (like normal socks are, the way they hug the leg?) instead of so baggy… They look pretty awkward unless I carefully arrange them, haha.

This is such a dorky example but Penny’s arm warmers look like they might be more like what I’m going for:

So is one blend going to shrink in the wash or be smaller than the other?

Thank you. c:

The extreme’s did slip occasionally, still better than actually being sockless in my shoes but the MPs totally stayed on til I took my shoes off.

I second what Kiwi says. For some reason, every “no show” that I wear seems to slip off while I am walking around in shoes. Thoes MP classic no shows look tempting though. I might need to try them and see if they don’t slip. :-)

I’m so glad you guys carry these, because TRULY no-show socks are insanely hard to find! As much as I obsess over coordinating my outfit with my socks, on those really hot days, sometimes I just want a pair of flats and nice, cotton socklettes that can’t be seen!

i never really liked the footie socks because the heel would always end up slipping off and somehow getting eaten by my shoe D: although i like the silky no show ones for flats, or sometimes to wear together with of another pair of socks if i desperately want to fit into a pair of shoes that are slightly too big XD

now the O and A chevrons….now THATS a go-to sock! <3
