And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Fabulous Accessory Giveaway

September 8th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

I love all things fashion. But admittedly, there’s at least one area  of my wardrobe that gets completely ignored — the sock drawer! (Okay, maybe I ignore a few other areas, too. At least my teen would say so). But back to the point — I’ve got white athletic socks for running, and black and blue socks to wear under my jeans and pants in the fall and winter. Creative, eh?

Well, Ozone Socks wants to help elevate the status of the forgotten stepchild of fashion — the sock. That’s why they help you put your best fashion foot forward with socks and tights that are almost art forms. Ozone is a Manhattan legwear company, founded by Laurie Mallet in 2000 because she strongly believed that socks were one of the only items untouched by fashion. Amazingly, they were still looked upon as undergarments, according to Laurie.

The company is devoted entirely to putting fashion and fun into socks and tights. And they’ve been successful. Their use of bright colors and fun/clever designs make their socks and tights unique. Ozone offers products for both men and women in several lengths. And, they’ve solved the problem of the missing sock –they will sell you an individual sock, as well. You also can join the Sock of the Month Club, which involves getting a new pair of socks every month for a reduced cost and free shipping.

Ozone socks are sold around the world and through a network of two thousand stores in America. I got to try these Rose Blarose tightsck tights, and I loved them. They’re comfortable and sturdy, yet fun and fashionable at the same time. My husband got to try the Carnival black socks, and he’s a big fan, too.

Ozone socks are a great item  to brighten up your day while adding some punch to your wardrobe!  They also make wonderful gift items, particularly in this economy where the expensive sock is still an inexpensive gift! Now, two lucky Lipstick to Crayons readers will get to try two pairs of
Ozone socks for free (that’s two pairs for each of the winners).  See the details below.
