Did the dryer eat your socks?

My Great Find for Friday is this adorable company. Little Miss Matched is a company based on the idea that socks rarely match, and why should they? Just like your car, your clothes, your hobbies are a reflection of who you are, your socks should match your personality!

I received my first set of Little Miss Matched socks during a sock chain letter. You know, you buy one pair of funky socks, mail them to the first person on your list, forward the list to six people, and get back 70gazillion pairs! Well, it never really works like that, but I did get about 9 pairs of crazy socks. I call them happy socks. Because I love wearing socks that have crazy patterns, holiday patterns or are just out of the blue. Someone once gave me a pair of socks with hippos on them. HIPPOS. What the hell? How do you even FIND socks with hippos on them? But I still have them, and they’re awesome. My mother has been buying me crazy socks for forever. It’s really quite fun.

Anyway, in this chain letter I received my first set. Now, the first thing you must know about Little Miss Matched is that you don’t get a pair. You get three! Because, duh, miss matched socks don’t come in twos…the dryer always eats one! here’s an example:

medianl2See? This way you have three different combos of socks! It’s great. I’m giddy just thinking about it! And, it’s a safe way to show your crazy, fun and adorable personality without wearing that heinous Christmas sweater your Aunt Mira gave you ten years ago when shoulder pads where all the rage.

Luckily, for us that live in a freezing climate, it becomes increasingly important that you have socks on your tootsies. BUT, in case you are one of the individuals of my inner torture that lives in a warm climate where 90% of the time you don’t need socks and you just casually walk around taunting the rest of us with your perfectly manicured toes resting in your flip-flops, Little Miss Matched has expanded her line of mismatched items to other pieces of your wardrobe.

Get a load of this:

home-prod-2 Holy crapolie. How adorable is THAT? And there’s one for you too!

Check it out. Little Miss Matched is doing us a favor…we’re sprouting our inner geekiness while silently parading wild and crazy socks. Go out and spread some holiday cheer! They’re great stocking stuffers…literally.

    Truly, socks are overrated. Speaking as someone who has very nearly banished all socks (except for the nylon knee-high variety), I can say with complete and total assurance that socks are not a neccesity.

    However, if you’re going to wear socks, these look darn cute. :)
