I put my summer clothing away this last week and I was not at all happy about it. While I can certainly get on the “isn’t Autumn so pretty?” bandwagon, I just always get super grumpy once October rolls around. I don’t want to feel cozy! I don’t want to nest! I don’t want to turn inward! I miss the high pace, high energy, high bounty of summer. I just do.

Whining aside, one thing that cheered me while I was packing and unpacking clothing, was just this simple little thing: socks. I still maintain a basic pedicure all through the colder months, even though my toes will probably not see the light of daytime until next June, but in the Autumn months I cover my feet not yet with wool, but with cotton.

Here are a few of my favorite pairs of socks of late. (Might I have a sock problem starting to form??)

Up top: French Flower Socks

Fog Linen Socks

Anonymousism Socks

Grey Striped Socks (can’t remember the brand!)

Badelaine Socks

I am going to push cotton socks as long as I can before I have to get out the woolies. Blah.
