To Don in Austin~

Well, wow, that was rude. Since when does voicing a pet peeve for entertainment purposes make one shallow or without a life?

Here's something for you~ I work with hospice and am caring for my dying father. I think a little lighthearted conversation is ok under these or ANY circumstances. So before you spew out drivel without any real knowledge of who a person actually is, think before you speak.

I stand corrected.

Yeah, it's never a good look. I'm a fan of funky socks- because if you're going to wear socks, they should be fun... but not with sandals.

A flash of argyle or fun color between the shoe and pant is enough.

I've never understood why it bothers people what other people wear. Who cares.

Depends on how well it is done.
These are from the spring menswear collections of designers like Miuccia Prada, Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent and Nicolas Ghesquiere for Balenciaga.


This is not the way to do it.

Changing gears a bit, the cowgirl boots and short, short, short-shorts(denim) look is quite in fashion...if the ladies attending today's football game are any indication. I'll vote for that look OVER the socks and sandals look.

Carry on.

That was my point also. I guess I wasn't very tactful about it.

This thread is about whether people like the look of socks with sandals. I expressed an opinion about the pictures you posted...not sure why you responded so rudely.
