Exit Stage Left

Why are socks so expensive? I mean, seriously. They're covering a relatively small portion of your body and yet one pair of socks costs upwards of $10! Sure, cheaper socks are out there to be had, but they also have to be replaced with more frequency, so in the long-run more expensive socks are better. Because of the recent change in the weather I was forced to pull out real, non-athletic socks today, for the first time this season, and I realized that I was in desperate need of a new winter stock of socks. In my search for some cute, funky, coordinating socks I learned the true expense of fancy footwear.
