NSSD (New stripey socks day), UPDATE: New shoes too!!!

[JDC]

My old ones are starting to develop holes in them and obviously you need awesome socks to bring attention to those awesome shoes, you know because women dig shoes, I need some plain coloured ones for matching to dress shirts/v-neck jumpers now



UPDATE: Might have got some new shoes, thanks to sale price and voucher code I managed to get 40% off the original price. I have some grey check trousers and matching waistcoat with lapels on order too.

Ah! I wonder what size feet my nephew has? (Recalcitrant 19 year-old bass-playing nephew who has so far failed to respond to "you got any ideas for what you wants for Christmas? ... Otherwise it's a Spongebob Tambourine" queries)

I wouldn't wear them personally - but very cool, methinks :D

[gwEm]

like them alot - poser :-P  :lol:

I have lots of stripey socks, but i long ago gave up on keeping them in the correct pairs.  Today i have thin strips of green/grey/black on the left foot and thick strips of red/black on the right.

I like those, I might have to go get some new ones

I love your fashion threads.  :lol:

[JDC]

I post them just for you :P

With the progress I've been making in the gym I have to buy new clothes, going to be a sad day when the mock burberry trenchcoat no longer fits

I had that experience when I lost loads of weight.  Fortunately I didn't have any expensive or fashionable threads which needed replacing!  Still a bit sad that my Abercrombie hoody now swamps me.

In my defence, I've never set foot in the shop (.....not sure I'd be allowed in, actually)!   

My brother got it in a sale, but it was too big for him so I bought it off him for a tenner.  But now it's too big for me as well.

I must admit, it's a good quality item.

Their shops are all dark and gloomy like a night club, it's a bit disorientating at first. Usually they're not known for the quality in terms of the prices but I do find it funny when girls and mums have bought stuff and they look nothing like the models on the bag.

I have field tested the socks and compared to my old ones from primark the material is thinner so I worry they won't last as long yet they cost 3 times as much :?

I'm trying to imagine this getup but my brain just can't handle it.

Sorted... now if only my shoulders muscles were less stubborn in the gym
