Not makeup, but I went on a sock shopping spree at Sock Dreams yesterday because I realized I have plenty of kneehighs but not many crew socks (heh, I keep typing "screw" instead of "crew," which is actually relevant to this post), and it's rapidly becoming too warm to wear kneehighs to work, and most of what I bought were boring (monochromatic crew socks) (okay, I *did* get Wolverine socks, too), but I *had* to get these (not the Sock Dreams site because they don't seem to sell this brand online, but they had probably a couple dozen different designs in the physical store) (oh, and warning for pottymouth):Â
http://www.blueq.com/shop/item/229-productId.125847086_229-catId.117440802.html Because, really, sometimes the weather around here makes even the natives say that. The cashier commented that she picked up several pair and sent them to her friends. I love this entire line of socks and probably need every single design. I'm not sure whether it's good or bad that I live not only in the same town as Sock Dreams but in the same *quadrant* of town. It is way too easy to pop over there before swinging by Trader Joe's for groceries, but it's also very easy to see something I reallyreally want and tell myself I can get it next time. The
Gumball Poodle Tiki crew socks are already on my next-time list since I didn't even notice them until after I had already signed my credit card slip, and there was a line behind me, so I didn't want to go through a whole new transaction. Oh, and I also got these in blue, mainly because they seemed very cushy, warm, and slipper-like, and now I see that's actually part of their description on the site:Â
