picI’ve given away socks as a prize here on the blog in the past, but they were very pink, very low and very much a prize for women. This month’s prize is also socks (that’s them on the right), but they’re more gender-neutral, which makes them a great gift for men and women alike!
I used to wear colorful socks, but nowadays I’m more of a plain old brown and black socks kind of guy. I’ve even been known to wear socks with a hole in the toe while wearing flip flops for quick trips to the grocery store to pick up some bread and milk. Was it a major fashion faux pas and a little embarrassing? You bet. But was it convenient? Definitely.
After discovering these socks, however, I’m seriously considering an overhaul of my sock drawer. After all, they say adding a color to your footwear is one of the easiest ways to inject some style and personality into your wardrobe, and my subdued closet could certainly use a little personality.
These watermelon socks ($11 on Amazon) are made by Ashi Dashi Sock Co., a company known for its outrageous designs when it comes to foot accessories. They also make socks that look like corn, socks that look like bacon, and socks that look like hot dogs. Some of those designs might be a little too “out there” for my conservative tastes, but these watermelon socks are the perfect balance of crazy and sensible.
If you’re the same way (or you know someone who is), leave a comment on this entry or any entry this month, and I’ll choose one comment at random to win these socks. At the very least, you can wear them around the house this winter to keep your toes warm!

Oh my god! Those are so AWESOME. Wear watermelon on your feet without the mess.
I think I will be wearing these to keep my toes warm!
I love those socks. I think I have seen them somewhere ? Maybe it was the Grinch who wore those. Cool, Cool, Cool
Those are awesome! I would put them in my son’s stocking for Christmas. He loves crazy socks!
I collect crazy, warm socks and wear them all the time. I have Raynauds syndrome so if I don’t wear warm socks all winter my toes lose all their circulation. Plus I love watermelon…so I would LOVE to have something like this! I’d wear them all the time! :)
These socks will make great camouflage to tip toe through the watermelon patch and not get caught!
im making my pregnant belly a watermelon for Halloween :)
Comfort and warmth are what I look for in socks but cuteness doesn’t hurt and these are the cutest!
