Someone on our floor was throwing away this badass girl's jacket from the 1970's, my ex picked it up when she was hanging out for a day, and I snagged it from her. Fucking love it, that's about it for new clothes for me from the past year though =(. Being poor and all that.
I wore one of my ex-girlfriends jackets once as a joke because she told me not to. The seems ripped apart at the shoulders. I felt like the Hulk. The end.
Got some Prana 3/4 climbing shorts and liked them so much I ordered another pair in a different color.
It seemed how, exactly?Quote:

Free bikini top? No bikini bottom? I hate shopping like and trying on shit. I got $350 worth of bling and I rock the piercings and neck bandanna's. Last time I wore a suit was for a funeral.Quote:

I would like to get a flannel or two that fit me like my western shirts. I also want some thick rimmed glasses. Some longsleeves that aren't flannel or western but don't look all GQ would be cool. I've also gotta start thinking about a decent winter jacket and some shoes that can handle the rain. I consider a denim jacket more every day. I say I would like these things because I have no idea when I'm going to be able to afford them.
Are you morphing into a hipster?
You're in a band... can't you find some nice young lady to purchase these things for you?
I need a winter jacket this year too.
you should start taking your own adviceQuote:

I wear regular neck tees under v neck sweaters, because the world is not ready for my chest hair.
What's wrong with wanting to look put together but not look like I just got off work at the Banana Republic?Quote:

(I don't know what size you usually wear, but usually XS-S is hard to find at a thrift store in the men's dept, because they move it to the women's section.)Quote:

Of course you'd pay extra. All you spend your money on is vodka, clothes and fighting games.
finding flannel or any button up that fits worth a shit at a thrift store really isn't easy.
Why is it so hard to find pants that fit?
It's as if I'm some sort of anatomical anomaly at a size of 32-34.
I'd need to either get fatter or shorter to find anything made for my physique.
I can't find pants that fit I'm shorter that Burgundy, well maybe not? I shop the thrift stores but we have bed bug problems and I can't take a risk.
Find one you like and get it tailored = cheaper than buying one that fits well at a department store.Quote:

aaaaaah, yeah. I forgot these guys don't sew. My best male friend and I used to go to thrift stores and get a bunch of flannels and cowboy shirts to alter so they fit all hipstery. If for some reason anyone would like to know how to alter a too-big flannel shirt themselves, I can post a tutorial.Quote:

I've only seen one pair worth anywhere close to that price and that's because it made my ex's ass look exquisite.
well, yeah- if you're looking for professional grade tailoring, for the love of god, go to a tailor. If you're cool with experimenting a bit, i'm whipping up a tutorial for Firstblood now.Quote:

You get what you pay for and all, but I have maybe $100 spending cash each month.Quote:

Save up? I don't know how to get you more money but I can tell you clothes this much are sometimes built to last. I know Varvatos does some sweet shit. You can get lower priced shit that ain't bad and is fashionable but you still may need to tailor it. Uniqlo up in here.Quote:

I'm getting my monroe this month.
As soon as the surgery healing's done I'm piercing my right nostril.
Do you like microdermals?
I don't know what that means.
Has anyone tried anything for bags under the eye? I got a Nivea eye roller thing today to try to work on mine. It has coenzyme in it.
Does it help with the bags on your chin?
Implanted piercings using anchors under the skin. It's not legal in all states.Quote:

Feels like you'd get your ass kicked in Florida wearing that. Probably Boston you could do it.
I think that Gainesville is the anomaly of the South. But your advice is duly noted.
I would also not recommend wearing a scarf in Florida.
Scarves are stupid unless you're in the artic.
I have a peacoat
the black kids from the delta liked to harass me something fierce for it. I think the exact words were "white mother fucker looks like a god damn mortician in that shit"
they were 100% class
I wear my lilac dress shirt all over the place because it looks damn good on me. Half of the people that see me IRL probably think that I'm gay.
I wear a scarf when I'm on the motorcycle in the cold (like, freezing or below). Old man winter will grab your neck with his icy fingers and that shit is annoying. I don't bother with it otherwise.
I do long sleeved tshirt under an ex military camo coat.
Stop that.
This I believe. Florida gets colder than people think!Quote:

One day I may just rock an Andy Warhol wig, that day is not today.
I'm just going to pull a Klaus Nomi
I wear scarves all the time in any weather. They look awesome, add color and shape when I am otherwise bored with my outfit.
Oh so you're that guy wearing a scarf in the summer...
I was under the impression that a man never wears an "outfit." Have the times changed?
Anthony looks like a European woman from the 60s, so everyone forgives him.
I'm not entirely sure why people would have to forgive me for looking awesome.
Oh aren't you just a peach?

isn't there a tron version of that watch?
Fe yeah it's also pretty rad, but slightly different.

I've been trying to dress up more, for random little reasons. Excuse to wear my socks. Hair is longer. And that dress is awesome.
I like the one with your stuffy.
I need some recommendation for motorcycle boots. Money really isn't a factor but I don't want to spend more than $100~ if I can help it. Any recommendations?
Man this is fantastic! I am not a bad dresser but this could save me a shit load of time. And I'm not a huge fan of spending an entire day shopping except for sneakers. I'm actually going to sign up so long as I can set my budget. EDIT: Fuck, stupid Canada. Well I'll have to coordinate with my friends in Chicago to ship them to me.Quote:

Puma has among the best looking boots available, but they are expensive, and I don't know well they crash. A guy I know swears by full-length boots because he broke both of his feet in a crash when he was wearing tennis shoes.Quote:

You know the answer.
I have a pair that I never wear - that said, if you're gonna buy that sort of thing, get a pair of Sanuks with the fuzz inside. I wear mine nearly every day.

Those don't look like motorcycle boots.
Those, cut-off camo shorts, a metal band shirt, and a beanie are my everyday wear.
That's actually how I've gone to every meeting and interview for The Owl, now that I think about it.
$100 is about the minimum you can spend on motorcycle boots. These look straight boss. This might better suit your style. These are waterproof, which you'll want if you plan to ride in rain.Quote:

The second ones are much better.
Go go Power Ranger.
The first ones sure. The second ones aren't so bad. They're boots I'd wear with suits except with a rubber sole instead of leather.
I'm good with it. I would maybe do it once or twice a year if they shipped north of the border. I am going to email them about it...Quote:

Yeah, I really like that first pair. Would've bought them if they were waterproof. I need waterproof.
My noob ass isn't looking to be riding in any rain for a minute, so I'm cool with not for now.
well shit i have no use for one of these but i want it anyway.Quote:

Markryan, I bought a pair of TCX X-five's early in the summer for about $120. They are truly waterproof, as in I stepped ankle deep in a puddle, and didn't feel a drop. I tried to think of every excuse possible to spend more than twice the money for a pair of Pumas that did the same thing, but couldn't justify the expense.

You've not actually tried on a lot of motorcycle boots yet, have you?
