I realized the other day that I will probably never buy another pair of sox. The main reason is I have been the beneficiary of my son’s evolving taste in haberdashery. He keeps changing the kind of sox he wears. As a result I end up with bags of perfectly good stuff. Currently I have a profusion in white and black. I have a small selection in natural colors. Most are cotton, some are wool and a few are artificial materials. For white cotton I literally have a box in the garage, a large sack on the floor of my closet and a large basket on the shelf.
Also at my age I don’t think I will need to do any stocking up unless the fashion goes back to high water pants and pastel sox for men. Even then I don’t think I would buy any.
Getting old has some advantages.

You can always dye the white ones if you have too many! - lol
ReplyDeleteOne of his projects involved saving my old coffee grounds to use them to do just that. I don't think it worked out too well.
