Socks Appeal

Blindmice socksTheir break-ups surpass our national divorce rate. Commitment is a huge issue for them; one mate always seems to be disappearing on the other for no apparent reason, which makes for a singles scene like no other. This is the world of baby socks.

With baby’s tendency to kick off a sock just about every time you leave the house, and the Bermuda Triangle action known to take place in just about every washer and dryer ever built, you’re left with a lot of tiny socks flying solo. A spare or two per set would be nice. Blindmice socks has got you covered. Their socks are sold in packs of three or five, come in 21 different color and pattern combos (for infants and toddlers) and are meant to be mismatched. (So the odd one out still gets plenty of action.) The soft ankle band won’t impede circulation and is designed to prevent the sock from falling off. However, if reality intervenes and one mate does abandon the other, it’s nice to know you’ve got a back-up.

As Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Change is the healthiest way to survive.”
