I Love My… Ugly Fugly Socks!

I found these socks at a random bodega in Philadelphia. They were the ugliest pair on the rack, so of course I had to adopt them!
Rock out with your ugly socks out!
They're gray with pink leopard spots, red roses, and bright green leaves. They're absolutely hideous--and I love that about them. It's like what my grandmother used to say about the Olsen twins when they were children: "They're so ugly they're cute!"
A bunch of ugly socks, just hangin' out.

    Thanks for your comment in my blog.

    Those socks are awesome, they’re the kind I’d wear under my business pants to boost my confidence before giving a conference.

    Kisses.

    Ha ha they are ugly! But I love them. They look great with that dress!

    Haha
    it’s floral, it’s animal print
    seemingly two trendy things
    but TOGETHER… it’s an explosion

    They are hideous in a wonderful way. Once you paired them with the dress they suddenly just worked somehow!

    Julie – I do that too! Well, I did when I actually had a reason to wear business suits. ;]

    Lady Smaggle – Hehe, thank you!

    Dana – I admit they’re a little “projectile.” lol…

    Ayesha – A little black dress can do wonders. ;)

    Your hair is simply perfection – the loveliest shade of blond!

    Anyway, getting to the point, love the ugly socks AND the shoes. Super cool

    I love your socks, especially the ones with the blue dragons! They definitely work with the black dress. I love socks too, reminds me of my favourite sock store, http://www.sock-dreams.com (not my store and I have nothing to do with them, I just like them and their great socks :) )

    Ida – Thank you! I just got those shoes last week and I’m in that honeymoon phase where I can’t wear anything else. :D

    Lindsey – Oh yesh, Sock-dreams.com is awesome..

    They may be ugly but I’m loving the way you’re workin’ them. Hot dress, by the way.

    The Socks are hilarious! i love finding crazy shit at convenience stores in Australia. I wish i could call it a bodega but nobody here would know what I was talking about unless they’d seen “half baked”!!! Anyway, i just stumbled upon your blog as i was doing a search on bessemer melamine cos i’m selling some on ebay. Your blog is great, i’m pretty much into the same stuff and around the same age – in Australia. I’m going to put your blog on my daily reads list, check mine out if you like. I only started it 2 days ago after lurking and reading so many good ones over the past year. Rachael :)

    OMG, I love ugly socks! My aunt always sends me the ugliest socks she can find from Korea every year. I have ones with bunny faces, monkey faces, bells dangling on them for Christmas… all ugly sock haters can kiss it!

  16. Annie Spandex, on July 22nd, 2008 at 9:31 pm Said:

    Katie – Thanks! Ugly socks have to work harder than pretty socks. ;)

    Rachael – Your blog shows a lot of promise! (I want you to know I accidentally typed “shoes” instead of “shows.” Oh dear…)

    Miss A. – That’s awesome! These may have come from Korea, actually. I have no idea. Bodega socks are mysterious!

    Haha, those are some crazy, crazy socks, but they’re adorable! I think they fit under the category ‘So wrong they’re RIGHT’ :) Very cute!

    Miss Corinne – Thanks! These socks defy logic! lol…

    the “It’s like what my grandmother used to say about the Olsen twins when they were children: “They’re so ugly they’re cute!” part had me cracking up because its so true….LOL

  21. Lesley Denford, on July 23rd, 2008 at 6:38 am Said:

    Those socks are great! I would have adopted them too. :)

  22. Jocelyne, on July 23rd, 2008 at 1:39 pm Said:

    Thanks for all the comments on my blog!! I LOVE crazy socks too, in fact, i’d say 80% of my socks are weird as in stripes, hearts, argyle and other weirder things. It all started because I love them thin and tight and those type are usually the right fit, not to mention WAY more fun!

    :)

  23. Annie Spandex, on July 24th, 2008 at 9:40 pm Said:

    Guirec, Jahaute, and Lesley – Thanks! :D

    Jocelyne – You’re welcome! Crazy socks ftw!

    I don’t think they are ugly at all. They give you character.

  26. Annie Spandex, on July 28th, 2008 at 11:05 am Said:

    Sushi – Thanks and double thanks for the Tokyo wishes!

    Marisol – Thanks!

    i love socks like this – they are so much fun to wear! i think they are really a great accessory – who would have thought?? haha mine always end up with holes though…maybe i need a better quality?

  28. Annie Spandex, on August 14th, 2008 at 4:58 pm Said:

    Harlequin – Not to sound gross, but sometimes longish toenails can make holes. Lol, I don’t mean any insult to your toes! Not freakishly long just you know, kinda longish. ;]

  29. Lily, on October 18th, 2008 at 1:16 am Said:

    Oh Annie!

    I LOVE a good ugly sock.

    My favourites are ones that my mama brought back from Canada for me – black with neon maple leaves printed on them. I also have a great pair from South Africa with safari animals!

    When I travel to Italy and the UK next month I’m going to be collecting as many pairs as I can! Any requests? What about a pair Pisa with the Leaning Tower?

    Thanks for visiting my blog which, in turn, introduced me to yours! Keep up the good work!
