Socks!

[shivver]

I was reading an article yesterday that listed the attributes that, when you're traveling in a foreign country, broadcast to the natives that you're an American, and one of the items listed is "wearing white socks". Now, you have to understand, I have no fashion sense no matter what country I'm in, including my own, so I have no idea and I have to ask: what color socks are you supposed to wear?

Please enlighten me, so that I can endeavor to not be so damned American when I'm traveling abroad. There's nothing I can do about my accent, but I can certainly try to make my footwear fit in.

My mother hated taking me clothes shopping! She and my sister would be happily rifling through the rack looking at every single item in the store, and I'd be sitting on the floor picking up the pins and playing with them (and once, sticking it into a power outlet - learned never to do that again). Now, I either go and buy whatever is displayed on the mannequin, or go with my friends and let them dress me. ;)
