Socks + Monkeys = Sock Monkeys


Meet Derek and Toby. Derek is a tour guide at the Missouri Botanical Garden. His favorite flower is the Echinacea purpurea because it reminds him of Toby's head. Toby is a designer of miniature furniture. He likes his job, but just a little.

My good friend Erica made these cute as a button monkeys for me last year. Their cold weather gear--gloves, shoes, scarves, hats--inspired my own wardrobe updates, which I'll debut soon. They also taught me a thing or two about the importance of button placement. Thanks for the monkeys, Erica. They're always good for a smile.

What Derek lacks in shoes, he makes up for in belly button.
