I\u2019ve never been one to keep up with the latest trends. If I see a dress or cute top I like, I\u2019ll save up and buy it. Sometimes my tastes fit the modern crazes, sometimes I\u2019m going against the grain, but the best way to describe my fashion sense is that I love bold bright colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, most of the time I like looking like a rainbow threw up on me. I love contrast. This is great when I\u2019m gardening or running around with my kids, but sometimes I have to tone it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, there is one piece of clothing that I can hide and never have to alter to fit formal settings and dress code worthy events: socks. They\u2019re a perfect expression that slides into my boots in the fall and winter. In spring, if I\u2019m feeling silly, I\u2019ll wear them with slip-ons or sneakers just to be silly. Even striped knee socks or cute patterns can be worn with heels if my dress is long enough or I\u2019m feeling extra expressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Silly socks don\u2019t get enough credit. As a kid, most of us complained if we got socks as a gift but I\u2019ve now reached an age where I can\u2019t get enough of them. And the weirder, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While some women obsess over shoes and handbags, I\u2019m more focused on ensuring that my feet display my personality whether others can see them or not. It\u2019s a style that I\u2019ve passed on to my daughters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My eldest is much more traditional. She loves long dresses and clothes that look like they came from the 1800s, but give her a pair of silly sloth socks and she is ready to slip them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My youngest daughter is a bit more like me. She loves bright colors and anything that really stands out. I call her my little butterfly because she\u2019s also the most outgoing little social lady. Her love of silly socks goes just as far as mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether weird patterns, prints, or just the brightest shade of fuchsia, there\u2019s something about a pair of silly socks that calls out. They need to be worn. And the more that I wear them and show them off, the more I find other women enjoying this hidden burst of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter the occasion, a pair of silly socks can offer a bit of humor or some added joy. Sometimes I keep it to myself. Not everyone needs a laugh when visiting a sick loved one or attending a funeral, but I do. So just hiding something bright and happy underneath a nice pair of boots or a simple skirt reminds me that I\u2019m always me, no matter what I have to face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may sound a bit strange, but that\u2019s how fashion works. No matter what we love to wear, there is always something that perfectly offers up a reflection of our inner light. Even when hidden or covering the smallest body part, every fashion sense has something to say!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
