I was reading a magazine during breakfast today and came upon an article about one of the latest fashion trends seen on the runway.
Some of you may be utterly shocked. Most of you probably won't be offended.
It is now becoming fashionable to wear socks with sandals. I know! What is going on with people? How can that be OK? And heeled sandals, no less - with ribbed, knit stockings! We might as well walk around with our underwear hanging out. (Oh wait, I've seen that lately...often.)
Honestly, I am glad to see that the fashion snobs have found a way to make it "legal" to commit this one tiny sin, so that those people who are already smart enough to wear socks will get a little break, if not some respect.
With everything important we have to worry about in this life, I find it bizarre that people will judge so harshly based on something so temporary. This doesn't mean that I'm going to let Daniel wear his orange plaid shorts (yes, he does have some) with a red striped shirt (yes, he's tried). There is no need to blind or visually impair other people!
But if someone is clean and covered (we know you have lots of different body parts...we just don't want to have the images burned into our minds), let them wear socks with sandals without smirking behind their back. And if that 20-something girl wants to wear a tutu while she shops at Sam's Club (yep, with my own two eyes), go ahead and take a second look, but don't hold it against her. She's likely a very pleasant person!
