G.T.
If I wear socks it's usually sports socks. I hate them tho because sometimes they decide to ride under the heel and drive me crazy.
In winter I have a slug of different colored feetless tights that I wear so my feets are still free to do with what I will. I'm an Uggs gal in winter so I dont wear socks with those either. If I need socks I do what you do and steal some out of hubs drawer. Usually calf high tube sock things. I also have a few pair of trouser socks, I like them because they are thin. I also have 2 pair of toe socks, so I can still wear flip flops if it's not wet outside. Kohls has a great selection of feetless tights and really cute knee socks.
