After submitting my order, the checked socks came out, and I fell in love with them. Two of the pairs were delayed, so I emailed and asked to switch them out for the checked pairs, and they did. They are the cutest checked socks. The only thing was that I asked for the blue, and received the pink. They are still super cute, and I received several compliments, but I had already purchased three other pairs of pink and was looking forward to the blue.
