Our daughter, Maggie, has always had a thing about her socks. When she was an infant, Paul and I would joke that her Native American name is "Maggie-One-Sock" because as soon as we would put socks on her cute little feet, she would inevitably kick one of them off and happily spend the day wearing only one sock. It didn't matter how many times we would stick that stupid sock back on her foot; a few minutes later, off it would come.
When she started dressing her self, Maggie would always, always wear two different socks. Even if I would lay out clothes for her with a matched pair of socks, she would emerge from her room wearing miss-matched socks. When I would ask her why she wore two different socks, she would reply "It looks better." Can't argue with that logic. It got to the point where I wouldn't even bother matching the socks out of the laundry, and it certainly helps with the mystery missing sock dilemma.
So when I found LittleMissMatched, I knew I struck gold! They make socks that come in packages of three "miss-matched" socks! Here is what they write about their product on their Facebook page:
"Here’s how it all started: We were sitting around talking about the pesky problem of the lost sock. You know, the one the dryer always eats? We thought, “Why do we have to wear matching socks, anyway? Maybe matching is overrated?!” It was one of those "aha" moments. We thought…why not start a company that sells socks that don’t match on purpose? Why not sell them in odd numbers so even if the dryer eats one, it doesn’t matter. And best of all, if you get three socks that mismatch (but coordinate in fabulously fun ways) then you get three choices for a pair instead of just one. Suddenly socks weren’t just boring socks, but a way to express yourself and be kookily creative."
Not only do they make socks, but leg warmers, clothing, cute accessories, bedding, and other adorable items.
Let's just say, after our her first pair of LittleMissMatched socks, Maggie was hooked (and I was too!)
