Amber of No Pants shows off her budding collection of Sweet Marcel OTKs! These all have a stretchy, wide cuff that lays flat against your leg to avoid rolling and pinching. We love Sweet Marcel so much that we even featured them in a blog post! They have some of the most whimsical packaging we’ve seen, with tiny little wire hangers for each pair of socks. We also carry a selection of Sweet Marcel knee highs, crews, and their new line of baby socks— which match the adult-sized crews for extra adorability.

Last night Nina and I represented Sock Dreams at Portland’s Zombie Prom! There was so much amazing makeup and costumes, including Nina’s ‘fresh from the grave’ look which includes a blood-splattered O Basic and an M Stripe! We hope everyone who attended had as much of a blast as we did!

*A few of the items you see on the table are not regularly available from sockdreams.com, but can be found at our Sellwood Shop!

Guys, I’m worried. My officemate, Dreamer Zaf, isn’t in today, and she wasn’t looking so good yesterday afternoon… They told me she’s gonna be at this thing called Zombie Prom later tonight, but she never misses a day of work.

But wait, isn’t that her outside, at the window? Is that Dreamer Nina with her? I could’ve sworn Nina had today off… Wow, she looks pretty roughed up. Neen, are you okay?

Zaflet, you so crazy, use the front door… Stop smearing raspberry jam on our window, Zaf…

Zaf..?

White on slim legs.

Black on curvy petite legs.

32" inseam vs. 28" inseam!

Seriously, these are looooooooong.

Our Dream Stockings Super Longs are back! Though these are not the longest socks we make, at 100 inches of goodness, they definitely get the job done.

These socks are for serious sock aficionados only. It takes quite a long time to put them on, but once they’re on, they’re staying there for a while. The feet are also quite large, as you can kind of see on my tiny (US6) feet in the last two photos.

Wed, 23 May 2012 13:16:45 -0700

Dreamer Laurel explains exactly why we appreciate Dove Lewis so much:

True story: in December 2009, my 10-year-old kitty stopped eating or drinking. When we took him to Dove Lewis Animal Hospital, we faced the choice of a $2,000 treatment or … saying goodbye. This photo of the toothless fluff-beast was taken just after his 13th birthday this Spring… Best $2,000 I ever spent.

We were fortunate to have that choice. Financial constraints make that decision impossible for many families. Sock Dreams is participating in a fundraiser from now to June 8th to help Dove Lewis provide financial options to low-income families, and to care for stray animals & wildlife.

This Memorial Day Weekend, we are having a SWEET SALE at our shop in Sellwood, proceeds to benefit this very worthy cause. May 26th - 28th, get 25% off when you mention the Dove Lewis fundraiser!

Not able to make it to the sale? You can still donate to the cause on our page, or donate in person at our shop any time before June 8th.

Thank you!! ~Laurel

Dreamer Rosalind: Amy is a good friend of mine, and she’s...

Wed, 23 May 2012 12:58:56 -0700

Dreamer Rosalind:

Amy is a good friend of mine, and she’s recently set off on a biking and volunteering trip of epic proportions – check out her plans on Voluntourista.org! She asked me for some travel sock advice, so of course I had to assemble a collection to fit her needs. She has to be prepared for biking long distances in hot sun, cold nights and mornings camping out, but she also needs to outfit her radical business lady persona for talking her way into new volunteer projects. Since she’s traveling by bike it all has to be pretty lightweight and compactable as well. I’ve done my fair share of biking and traveling (and overpacking), so I was all over it.

My final selection:

Foot Traffic Bamboo No-Show 3 Pack – These are tiny, weigh almost nothing, plus have the natural antifungal/antibacterial magic of bamboo! It’s also a great fiber for keeping cool in hot weather.

Dreamy Bamboo Patterned OTKs – Again, bamboo is a fiber with magical properties. These ones are also pretty enough for interviews or whatever adventures await between bike rides.

Dahlgren Light Hiking Midcalves – The technical structure of these offers great support. Wool is actually great for hot OR cold weather, as it’s generally a great insulator, and they have the advantage of coming in colors!

NZ Sock Lady Merino Thigh Highs – These are the heavy hitters for cold nights and mornings, but they also look nice enough to wear with the business persona.

Nouvella Cotton Leggings – Comfy enough to wear as pajama pants, thick enough to wear as… well… regular pants. Great with skirts and lighter than jeggings – I’ve found these to be indispensable on trips of my own!

Best of luck, Amy! If anyone can save the world while looking fabulous, it’s you!

Found my other moustache sock!

YAY! These stories rarely have such a happy ending. I’m so glad your errant sock found its way home!

If one goes off wandering again, don’t despair! We stand ready to help your feet move on with a new pair. <3
