So I have been wearing white cotton ankle socks and other low socks. Not being fond of frequent leg-epilation efforts (the grasping of the handle is often quite uncomfortable) I have been searching for knee socks that are mostly cotton but 1. stay up, 2. are large enough for my "wide" calves, and 3. are not too ugly.
Well, I found some!
Sadly, there are no conservative plain black, navy, or brown plain socks. They have only "novelty" socks. I ordered one pair...black with a red blaze on them. I thought perhaps the blaze would be above the level of my skirt so they would be okay. Maybe yes, maybe no. I cannot see the blaze from where I am, so I am burying my head in the sand like a flamingo. No, not a flamingo. What is that bird...oh, ostrich. The ostrich buries his head in the sand so no-one will see the red blaze on his black stockings.
Since the first pair of knee socks fit well I ordered some more. The black with white stripes has some naughty language on them so I really DO need to only wear them with my longest skirt. As far as the others, well, it is a good thing I am mostly sitting at a desk! The Starry Night socks I think I will wear with the beautiful navy skirt my sister gave me.
