Wool Socks
You’re at the fireplace, with a good book that you’ve been
meaning to read. You’ve just made yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate
and/or popcorn and are ready to settle down for the evening. You’re
just missing one thing—wool socks! They’re the perfect accessory
to pajamas, and will keep your feet warm all winter long—or when
you just want to feel cozy.
There are tons of places to find wool socks, and you really don’t
have to look extensively to find a pair that you love and can afford.
On the high end, there are wool socks available at places like Banana
Republic and Eddie Bauer that go for about $15; these socks are usually
thin and can be worn with casual clothes. Most of these types of socks
may also be a wool blend. For thicker socks, visit stores like The Gap
(www.gap.com) and Old Navy (www.oldnavy.com) for discounted prices on
socks in all kinds of colors and designs. You may even find wool socks
you’ll love at discount department stores like Target, Ross, and
Marshall’s. Usually you’ll find these socks marked down
if you purchase them off-season, as is the case with most winter clothing.
And, if you’re going to get warm socks, you may as well find wool pajamas to go with them. The stores mentioned above are also great for finding just the right pair of cozy pajamas for the whole family. You can also check out Victoria’s Secret (www.victoriassecret.com) to check out the newest line of pajamas.
You may even be able to find wool socks that you can use as house slippers. Companies like Totes has a shoe/sock slipper with a wool blend that will not only keep your feet warm, but will allow you to walk on a number of surfaces.
And, as a beauty tip, you can use wool socks to keep your manicure
or pedicure looking great for longer. If you give yourself a pedicure
at home, be sure to moisturize your feet with Vitamin E cream or Vaseline,
and leave the socks on your feet overnight to help soothe your feet
and get rid of dead skin. You can also do the same for your hands to
make sure that your skin doesn’t crack during the cold winter
months. For more beauty tips, as well as additional places to find wool
socks, you can visit www.overstock.com, or www.delias.com to find a
variety of stylish socks you can wear with an outfit or by themselves.
