A word on multifunctionality


I think this is going to be my favorite product for fall. They are called Baby Legs! They are long leg warmer socks. You can pull them clear up to use as tights, or use them as knee high socks. You can even use them to stretch your little girls summer wardrobe into fall by using them as "arm warmers". Anytime I can find a product that is multifunctional*, it is a winner in my book! I literally drool when I read or see the phrase: "(insert a number higher than one here) -in -1!"
Anway, these come in so many cute colors and patterns, it's hard to choose! You can find them at Target (although their selection is limited), or at several places on line. At full price they are $12 a pair, but I have found them as cheap as $7 in the last few weeks.


*Multifunctional (mull tie funk shun al): adj. 1 intending to be useful in more than one way 2 to braisenly display many seemingly useful things in one attractive package, and to lure consumers into thinking: a. it is more economical to buy rather than purchasing all showcased items seperately, b. that they would be inarguably prepared for whatever might come their way.

While we are on the subject, I found the above pictured 10 in 1 office tool at an online gadet store. It includes: scissors, stapler, hole punch, tape measure, can opener, phillips head screwdriver, flat head screwdriver, LED light, pencil sharpener, and nail file! Do I need this? No. Can I do without this? The jury is still out. You just never know when I might need to open a can of soup from the recipe, that I will have just measured, cut to size, stapled and hole punched for my recipe book (which I wrote with my freshly sharpened pencil), while screwing a screw back into an outlet cover which is all lit up by my LED light, breaking my nail in the process, which I then fix. Who would be the fool then? Hmm?

Cool office tool. However, I feel when in doubt leave it out. It seems to me that when I find some sort of multifunctional tool, it seems to get lost alot more...beccause I can't remember where or what I used it for last?
I love the leg warmer tight things! I am going to invest in some of those!

Plus you never know when you are going to need a can opener in the office!

Jessica said...

How stinkin cute are those??? Any idea on the website you found them online? I do have a Target within a couple miles but I prefer to shop from the comfort of my home!!! HEHE!!!

Jess- I know they have them at target.com, and if you google "baby legs" it will bring up lots of stores for you to choose from. I am all about online shopping too. I am a wimp and prefer not to drag my three children along most of the time!

That tool is pretty funny. Some of those tools have nothing to do with the others but they trew them into the mix anyway. Nice scenerio of using them all. I could actually see that happening:)

Love the leg warmers....I even have some for my baby boy, Peyton. At first, I thought they might be girlie, but they come in cute boy designs too (his are black with pirates on them.) They are great for crawling, keeps his knees from getting all carpet burned, and in the spring when it was still cold, I was paring them with shorts for a warmer look. I got compliments on them all the time!

Amanda said...

Those baby legs are so cute! I wish I was little and could wear them OR that I had a little girl :) You always have good suggestions.
