On socks.
I have 3 types of socks. White, Brown, Black.
That's (mostly) it. I also have a novelty pair of socks from the prime meridian, but that is the one case.
Once a year or so -- or, more precisely, when I notice the brown socks are getting worn, hopefully when I find some fantastic deal -- I replace all the brown socks. Usually with a different brand, so I know if I find the old ones. I do much the same thing with undies, though I've been replacing en masse a lot less since I started buying extra pairs on vacation.
Anyway, yes. I do that.
Once, I bought a dozen pairs of undies for five dollars. It was fantastic.

I have one pair of purple Halloween socks that someone gave me, and the rest are all black... I endeavor to get the same style every time so that I never have to worry about matching, I just pick up two socks and they go together... I only buy new socks when I am forced to throw them away/loose enough of them that I don't have enough pairs to last a couple of weeks (i.e. if i don't have enough to comfortably make it between wash days)...
ReplyDeleteYearly we do something similar with socks. Every family member wears a different brand for easy sorting. Once a year or so I'll go through and discard all the mismatched and holey socks and replace them. That's usually when we re-up on underwear too. Back to school usually has the best sales on this sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteI always buy 30 or so pairs of the exact same socks and wear those until I have few enough for a wardrobe (due to loss or holes), then buy another set of 30. Usually black, low.

ReplyDeleteJosh Roby YEP! And the real question is: Why don't you?
ReplyDeleteSure, there is another option: wear mis matched socks intentionally. Maybe one bright BLUE and one with CATAN tiles on it, for example.
That'd be an awesome look. I'd probably marry such a woman. (hint hint: I did). But, one brown and one black would be not a fun look.
