My favorite no-show socks!

I think this may be my first no-show sock review, but man, I love this brand, because these no-show socks work, and I want to share! I wear a lot of shoes that require that “barefoot” look, but actually going without socks all the time can be gross.

Of course my Rothys (Love them! Will review later!) are washable, but most of my shoes aren’t, which means eventually- whether they’re $20 Payless wedges or $180 Cole Han flats- my shoes will start to smell if I’m not wearing socks regularly. Fact of life, ya’ll.

Okay, so I have a bunch of those little nude or black footsie socks that are no-show inside of flats and pumps, but they never stay on my feet! It doesn’t matter what brand. I’VE TRIED SO MANY.

But, the Thirty 48 women’s no-show loafer socks from Amazon are amazing! It doesn’t matter what shoes or (even boots!) I’m wearing, they have never slipped off my feet.

They are one size for women sizes 6-9. I usually wear a US 9 1/2, and these socks fit well. I’ve been wearing over and over the same 6 pairs (and obviously washing them in between wearing) since last March, and the socks still have kept their elasticity.

The only downside is they are not no-show in every situation, so they may not work with every shoe, depending on how much you care if a little sock is showing. I’d rather have a little sock showing then not wear any socks at all, which is basically what happens if I wear any other brand since they end up falling off and balled up under my feet.

If you’re interested, you can buy them on Amazon (affiliate link), here:

As always, my opinions are just that: my opinions. I paid for these products, and if you purchase through my affiliate link, any commission I earn will go toward more products to review.

Do you wear no-show socks? Have you found a pair that work really well?

Review: Sandgrens “Milan” Clog Sandal

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Although these aren’t my first clogs, until now I haven’t had a quality pair. I was sent the Sandgrens Clog Sandal in their “Milan” style to review. The clog is available in more than 10 colors (including a gorgeous rose pattern), but I received them in red.

Sandgrens “Milan” Clog Sandal Review on My Life: A Work in Progress

These clog sandals are made of Swedish Alder wood and vegetable leather. The shoes are fastened together with staples. I thought it might be uncomfortable walking on a wood base, but I’ve found these shoes surprisingly comfortable, even after several hours on my feet. Although I think higher heels are sexier, this low heel is more practical for running around after my toddler.

My right foot will start to feel a little stiff and sore after about an hour. (That’s my problem foot, and, unfortunately, it reacts that way in all of my shoes, except my runners.)

Although you could wear these clog sandals with summer dresses or jeans, I like to pair mine with capris or a short jean skirt.

 Sandgrens "Milan" Clog Sandal Review on My Life: A Work in Progress

Confession time. One of the reasons I love these clogs, is that the sandals hide my toes. I rarely have time for pedicures anymore! If, unlike me, you’d rather show off your well-groomed toes, Sandgrens does have several toe-baring styles, like the Caspian and Bali Mid.

The Sandgrens company has an interesting back story that you can read on their website. The Sandgrens brand was founded in the mid-1800s, and their clogs are still made in Sweden, using time-honored techniques.

Check out the different clog styles at Sandgrens. The Bali High and Maui are my favorite picks for this summer. What are yours?
