This post is for my nephew, Parker. For years, he has made fun of my brother Nate, and sometimes me, for wearing socks with sandals. He just thought it was flat out wrong, lol! However, in our defense, it was totally something people did when we were teenagers and into our 20's. Birkenstocks were way in and you'd wear your Birks with some nice wool socks, even in the winter. They weren't really worn with shorts, but they looked way sweet with a pair of jeans and a sweater or sweatshirt. We were all about lookin' good, but I guess along the way, we forgot that maybe it wasn't the mode anymore :)
However...I just saw this article on MSN Fashion that says that socks with sandals...ARE BACK, BABY!!!! So, I'm sorry Parker, but this grunge momma is going to go all out! Maybe not for the next 20 years or maybe I will, just to torture you a little bit longer, hahaha :) Love you, bro!!
(I'm still not an advocate for the dude on the left, but the guy on the right looks pretty sweet,
minus his goofy space age clothing, the dark sandals look the best)
