So recently my sister-in-law posted this picture of her daughter on Facebook. It was taken at the doctor's office and the main reason for the post was not the socks but they did get their share of comments including the following: "Tell her she's rocking those socks!" and "Different socks, I have seen several middle schoolers with them!" It got me to thinking that finally here is a trend that I can fully support. There are so many trends that I really hate. Wearing your pants around your knees and hiking up them all day long? Stupid. Spending hundreds of dollars on a certain coat or boots so that you look like everyone else? BAAA. The resurgence of the off the shoulder look first made popular by the movie "Flashdance"? I hated that one the first time around. But different socks? LOVE IT! This is strictly for selfish reasons since now I get to put to good use the laundry basket full of mismatched socks that I've had for, oh about, 10 years now. Long live the mismatched sock trend!
