The other was a guy who would only wear one specific type of sock; no need to keep pairs together when all the socks are identical, I guess. <br /><br />Welovecolors seems to be a good place to find plus sizes. However, tall ladies are once again out of luck - their striped tights are a "one size" up to 5'8". :/<br /><br />I don't finish the ends. The fabric stays intact after I snip off the toe seam. I'll post a picture. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-84044729219889600102012-11-04T10:22:03.184-07:002012-11-04T10:22:03.184-07:00There are advantages to being tall... not a single...There are advantages to being tall... not a single one related to buying clothes. :P I can buy some things from the men's department - slippers, pajama pants - but there are no striped tights to be found there.J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-63236151318361463722012-11-04T10:11:16.234-07:002012-11-04T10:11:16.234-07:00Rolling does make it easier to see all the differe...Rolling does make it easier to see all the different kinds. It simplifies finding the desired opacity of black or the right shade of purple (or even remembering that you have that shade of purple). I suppose this kind of "creative organization" could be seen as a manifestation of my Sun and Moon signs - inventive Aquarius and meticulous Virgo. :) J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-24799419966355082452012-11-04T08:52:11.477-07:002012-11-04T08:52:11.477-07:00I also roll my socks, and I can't imagine why ...I also roll my socks, and I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't.<br /><br />I have purchased from welovecolors.com multiple times, but just in fishnets and solid colors.

I started doing it simply in order to save space; I can get more pairs of tights in the drawer neatly rolled than I can if I just throw them all in, squash and attempt to shut the drawer =P I'm going to make drawer dividers and organise them by pattern now though =]<br /><br />I guess I'm lucky to be so short; my stripy tights are all a bit long in the leg! Mostly I wear thick woolly black tights (it's cold here, so often 2 pairs at once!) and I can buy mine from the kids schoolwear department...

I would have a MUCH better idea of all the different kinds I have if I rolled. I do keep sheer stockings in their original envelopes so I can tell which is which and so the pairs stay together.VictorianKitty (Sophistique Noir)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05249293125462602094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9176007711635280067.post-59064154639693636472012-11-02T19:20:34.869-06:002012-11-02T19:20:34.869-06:00Yeah... it's kind of ridiculous.
