Okay, today it is frigid, frigid cold in Connecticut. It is currently 22º F and very windy… even my Dad, who at least tries to run daily, made it to the bottom of the street and turned around and came back up. And I have to brave walking across the UConn Storrs campus! How will I stay warm and fuzzy? Knee socks! {Along with a scarf, hat, gloves, winter coat and the rest of my clothing, of course…}

For the past two/three years, my dad’s girlfriend Santa has filled my stocking with socks {mostly knee-length} for Christmas/Yule. I love love love love love socks! And every year, they keep getting funkier, sillier, and longer. If Santa doesn’t leave you with a stocking full of socks, you can find funky socks almost anywhere for cheap. My favorite places to get them are Target, Marshalls, and Claire’s.

Here are a few of my faves so far:
