Points well taken BUT, what happens when you’re hard on clothes and have to replace them often? My lady spends a lot more on individual pieces than I do. She’s tops and dresses from Anthropologie, I’m suits from H&M & Zara. However, quality shoes, socks, ties, belts, watches, etc are where I tend to spend more. Those details can cost many times what my cheapish suits cost (and $250 is still considered a lot for many men). Because I have bespoke suits as well, nobody is the wiser and I don’t have to worry about damaging a $2000 investment. Building an “adultish” wardrobe of 10 or 12 suits can be costly. It’s all about mix-n-match, rotation, and having *some* sense of style to begin with.

Do any of us really have lives if we spend our time either blogging or reading blogs…

Lones-

If you want to criticize my blog, do it on my territory — don’t bring it to Rachel’s.

If you spent half the time on your blog as you spend here yours would be worth reading.

Looks like Caroline and all of the other cheap-thrill-fashion enthusiasts (myself included) can expect to be wooed by a soon-to-launch boutique line from Forever 21. Thankfully the prices still won’t wear out the wallet:

Some posters are missing the point. They’re going to a comic book store, not a State Dinner. They seem to be comfortable in their own skin, which is all that matters.

Well, there you go Johanna. One evening in the city I’m at a sidewalk table watching beautifully dressed women with guys in baseball caps and cargo shorts and then I caught myself in the window and I was that guy too. I’m sorry, but I still say she looks like she’s going to dinner and he’s going to the Black Cat. Dressing down is once thing and dressing up dressing down completely another, but if you’re going to wear something that says “why bother” then you shouldn’t bother at all.
