OMFG Free People socks!!

Free People, owned by Urban Outfitters*, who also owns Anthropologie, is a little hippie for me. Yet I still receive their catalog in the mail (probably because I do drop quite a bit of cash at Anthropologie) and love to look through its photos of the crazy things the kids are wearing these days, and in the latest issue, the back cover sports the cutest socks I've ever seen.

Here is what I mean:


It's nearing tall boot weather, people. I have tall boots in black and brown leather. 4" heels. This is what I'm talking about, guys.


To die for, right? Luckily, one need not die: one need only spend $24-$28 per pair. Next to death, that seems like nothing.

I just realized that I'm not sure any of my blog readers are female. Oh wait, yes, of course they are. I can think of three.

Anyway, for all my marketing friends, if nothing else, I offer you this: this is proof that even to this die-hard internet-shopper, printed catalogs still serve a purpose if they drive you to the web site.

*For the sake of completion, I'm "meh" on Urban Outfitters. I only shop there when I'm in Vegas, because there's a store in the hotel we usually stay in. I find them mostly miss on a hit-or-miss scale.
