Back to School Must Have - Smart Wool Socks & Stockings




As much as I hate to admit it,  before we know it, it will be time to put away our flip flops for the year. When the kids go back to school, its time for sneakers and boots.  Even if its still warm, they aren't allowed to wear sandals and flip fops in school. So that means, its also time for socks and stockings. I don't know about you, but there is definitely a sock monster in my house. I am always losing socks and every fall I need to get more.  This year I will be prepared for even the coldest days thanks to Smart Wool. There I can get all kinds of stylish socks and stockings made from real wool that are warm and cozy for the whole family.

For my review, I received a pair of cute boys socks and beautiful stockings for girls. I thought they might be itchy and uncomfortable since they are made from wool. But they are actually really soft. I want to steal them for myself. They aren't overly thick so they will work with any shoes, but they are still much warmer than cotton socks. The stockings also offer the advantage of being thick and sturdy so they won't run easily. Normally my daughter can only wear her stockings once and they are ruined, but these will last until she outgrows them. Both the socks and the stockings come in a wide range of colors and designs so its easy to find the right pair to match any ensemble. If you are getting ready for back to school too, check out some of these great finds.
