But you'll be THAT weirdo for other reasons, right?

Also, I am glad to see that Bob was wearing pants. At first glance, I could not tell.

Who let you go to work in that outfit? =P

(granted my sense of fashion is polo shirt + khaki pants)

Not enough cleavage.

There's only cleavage at the night job.

[Atlanteax]

Yea, to me, the short white skirt seems out-of-place. Then again, you may be just wearing a sweater over your original outfit to keep warm? (kinda hard for me to tell).

[BriarFox]

I like the white skirt over the boots. Makes a bold statement. Quirky and cute.

[diethx]

Isn't Atlanteax the guy people make fun of for his fashion decisions? (I remember something about a tie, or something)

You think that skirt is short?!

The skirt is cream, not white, though it's hard to tell in that poorly-lit picture. At any rate, I got a bunch of compliments on it and I liked it! Also, no, that's the sweater I was wearing with the skirt... cobalt sweater, cream skirt, brown tights (I find black tights with a cream skirt too harsh), and then the brown boots.

Now I am going to post ALL of my outfits for critique. I like that it's the dudes with the sartorial opinions!

[diethx]

I love that outfit, and I want to steal the skirt.

[Atlanteax]

Isn't Atlanteax the guy people make fun of for his fashion decisions? (I remember something about a tie, or something)

Yea, "Badtie" after one pic (*years* ago) wearing a tie that my father gave me.

Otherwise I am admittedly polo-shirt + khaki pants, day-in and day-out.

OK. Do you love Pokemons though? What if you come to the city and we trade pokemons via our 3DS streetpass unknowingly? What if we were meant to be best men in eachother's weddings?

[Bobmuhthol]

Pokemons and I have a casual relationship. I can't trade with you, though, because I'd need to own Pokemon games first :(

[Latrinsorm]

Fiiiiine.

Not from today, but from recent.Really very nice, compliments are well deserved. Elegant and professional.
Otherwise I am admittedly polo-shirt + khaki pants, day-in and day-out.I had a bad experience with polo shirts as a youth. Button downs or tees. Period.

Truthfully I don't have any pokemon games either. I just got it last month so I could play Fire Emblem, but this streetpass functionality is kind of creepy. I must be nearby to some little kids on the subway and then their miis jump onto my 3DS the next time I open it and their "last game played" is always pokemon and then weird notes of theirs populate in my drawing/notes app. I just want some fire emblem teams to jump on there you know?

I waited til I got home to take this. I couldn't get a decent photo at work while people were in and out of the bathroom and I was being that guy.

This is what I wore today. It (the top) wrinkled so easily :(

http://i49.tinypic.com/2ijs1z7.jpg

And this is what I wore like a week and a half ago and I fucking love the balls out of this top (I even think I posted about it when I was wearing it).

[Danical]

I love working in higher ed; I can look like a total hobo and fit in with at least half the faculty.

[Latrinsorm]

I scroll down with the mouse wheel so I was all "oh neat a polka dot top I am down with WAIT JUST A MINUTE!!!" Très dynamique! Also I want to give you props for matching your outfit to the decor unlike certain lawyers whose handles include honorifics.

In conclusion, can I just say that I am having a very difficult time attributing an objective color to your universally acclaimed skirt. Do you think you could go to a Lowe's or other paint dispensary and model next to various swatches? It's the only way to be sure.

[diethx]

Ahahahaha. Just go with champagne. I said gold because that's what BR said on their website. But it's really champagne.

[Delias]

I don't normally get involved in discussions about clothing, because I have a peter griffin-esque closet... but I like that top, the black and white dotted one.

[Bobmuhthol]

You guys are in for a real treat tomorrow. I have two shirts that I'm contemplating, and they're both great. Don't get too excited about the pants and shoes though. I only have one style of pants and one pair of shoes.

[Tgo01]

Is diethx's phone giving anyone else dirty looks? Or just me?

[Ryvicke]

Yeah dudes shit is on with me tomorrow too, I'm pretty sure I'm going to wear a vneck sweater over a collared shirt and not have the picture include my pants. The sweater is for sure going to be grey but who the fuck knows what type of Mitchell from Modern Family button-up I'm going to have underneath it. The sweater could be corded, shit could get intense.

[Ryvicke]

It's very cute.

Yeah let me throw in with this lot, that shirt is fucking amazing.

Your hair wasn't always black though right?

Your hair wasn't always black though right?

My hair is more of a medium brown and it gets kinda reddish undertones or whatever in the summertime. That's my natural color. In my old PC profile pic I had dyed hair. It was like a reddish orange from when it had faded out from purple.

I think you should repost that picture of you dual wielding a katana and a dildo, or whatever the hell it was.

Also, no latrin, no capped sleeves. The shoulders are "shirred" though. It's like, a little ribbing detail. I am wearing a giant hoodie now and too lazy to put it back on, otherwise I'd show you. Next time.

I feel like I absolutely will not ever wear a pinstripe suit. Just something about it.

[Latrinsorm]

You don't want to be a damn Yankee, that is for sure. Subtle pinstripes are nice though, I have a suit of that model that I will photograph this week-end because everyone else is doing it and I fit in.

[Archigeek]

I have a couple of pinstripe suits; blue, not black. Not much call to wear a suit anymore though since I mostly work with farmers and food co-op folks these days. The custom pinstripe probably doesn't fit me anymore anyway, which is sad.

A quality suit that fits well makes you feel like a million bucks.

[DCSL]

haha...I deny any alcohol bein in that drink. And I never wear black suits (reminds me I've been to too many funerals where I had to wear one)...I think I've every color for work but black.

Black Pinstripes are for wall-street and mobsters imo. The one guy in our office who wears a black suit with white pinstripes is a prat (always wears a red tie and has the red pocket kerchief to boot).

I go with a large variety of greys, brown/tans, and olive and a few blues...you can get more subtle texture in the suit depending on the stitching material which I think comes off better. I never even used to give a damn before this job.

I came to a horrible, terrible, awful conclusion in my closet this morning. I don't have nearly enough skirts. Not nearly. I've worn all 6 work-appropriate ones in the past week and a half. sigh

So, today:

[Ryvicke]

Tiny pictures on my iPhone suck but are you wearing an ascot in the first picture? Those need to make a comeback!

If you caught the default pic with the sweater you could've seen how much of a swarthier, gayer Rhett Butler I am. I had to change it to one of me using guns so our more conservative members would know how much I value my sidearm. Murrica, etc.

[DCSL]

I feel like I should wear something interesting today to take a picture of but as it's my day off, it's probably going to be a band t-shirt and jeans and boots. 'cause, you know, metal.

This is why I don't go to Brooklyn. I have a friend out there who I've known since I was 5, he went to NYU undergrad and grad school, and does all sorts of this hipster douchiness all the time, but more the homeless activist type. He once invited me to a "spontaneous pillow fight" where supposed you were supposed to be in BK at 8 with a pillow, a mass text would go out, and a bunch of hipster douchebags would go take over a street corner and hit each other with pillows.

I would almost rather Brooklyn be the Brooklyn of Jay Z's childhood. They don't even call Myrtle Avenue "Murder Ave" any more.

I'll give you an E for effort on the smiling business but it really isn't a success. You obviously need to party with us in NYC and we'll get you a real smile. And maybe some jeans.

[Vorpodu]

this is from friday so maybe that doesn't count..(my buddy on my left just got promoted)...but it how I have to dress for work everyday.

I'm the asshole not smiling because someone behind the camera was tryin to make me laugh and it threw me off.

I'm still waiting to see feet underneath a stall door behind the person taking pictures of their own outfit. I dare one of you to do it. Double dog dare.

I think more men should wear suits every day, personally.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I will be posting my outfit in a few moments. I am working via logmein so I have a whole bunch of shuffling between gadgets and emails to upload it. What a hassle.

Yes, I do need to go buy myself more skirts. Fuckballs. FUCK YOU IRS AND/OR TAXES FOR EATING UP MY ENTIRE BONUS AND MORE. I NEED MORE SKIRTS.

Ok, I feel better now.

I had to computer>magnify the skirt to 3,000% so I could see its intricate markings. IT WAS WORTH IT. Fantastic skirt.

I can't wait to hear what you guys think of this blue stripe, red pattern tie, black suit combination. JACK DONAGHY POWER CLASH.

It's right about now I think I should congratulate Catts on his lilac (!) shirt/purple paisley tie combo from yesterday. You're doing it well.

a lot of ties look great with stripe shirts, just that one has a conflicting pattern I think. the colors are good tho! Did you not button the top button?

Yeah I have no meetings or anything today so the top button is hanging loose. TOMORROW though I have to go to an FDNY after-action on hurricane sandy and I will have to shave and button that top button and tie a HUGE KNOT.

I make no claims to have any work style though. I once came very close to signing up for that "Netflix Ties" services that sends you new ties in the mail and then you send them back, but I didn't.

hahaha..i didn't even know that had that

as for style...hell, i usually just go to the store and buy what's on the mannequins, like I'll literally take it off the mannequin if its my size because you get a discount. Usually that's where they show off their best shirt-tie-suit combos. Actually that entire outfit from yesterday is one I pulled off a mannequin now that I think of it lol

Nice, Jay. I'm not an expert on suit/tie/shirt pattern rules so I'll defer to catts on that one.

It's this! http://www.tiesociety.com/

I mean, I think it all depends on how bitchy your male co-workers are. If you're Patrick Bateman and having 2 tie repeats a month is too many, then tie netflix is probably a good way to go. Conservative males can be brutal.

I personally comb my hair with a chicken bone.

cardigan stripey dress and sassy legs#1 sassy legs. Cardigan is almost lovely enough to distract me from calculating out the ratio of your dress' stripes. (They made a really interesting choice by going slightly less than 1/4! It's close enough to suggest without calcifying and becoming cold.)
Ugh, my phone takes such bad pictures.You keep using that word etc.

You are really good at using ostensibly bland color schemes as fuel for your incendiary hotness. I would also like to thank you for saving me considerable grooming time by singing all the hair from my face with said hotness. Take that, diethx's beautician's flu!!!
Shit tied#1 facial expression just... just #1 ever.

I think your jacket is too professional to work the "top button unbuttoned sloppy knot" look even factoring in the 9 o' clock 5 o' clock shadow. But you have already recognize that the tie combined with the shirt is an affront to all things good and decent, so imo fling the tie into your nearest toilet and rock the Jim Caviezel is Mr. Reese. You have the devil-may-care, show me haunted!

I'm not arguing that Ron isn't a good analogy. I'm just saying that when I see Ron Swanson, all I can think about is eating raw meat, and due to that I was unable to focus on the analogy itself, because Ron is just that manly.

Two of them looked kind of short but I think that's because the models are like seven feet tall. On me they'd probably be tea-length.

Me at a co-workers wedding.

http://i45.tinypic.com/wwho93.jpg

I am wearing black pants.

Both vests are suede, shirts are silk. yeah, I suck at dressing.. but at least it's an improvement over what I used to dress like...

http://i48.tinypic.com/2hg7mlw.jpg

Yes.. I made the shirt myself.. with that stuff you could draw on clothes with. My wardrobe may still suck, but I think it's an improvement.

Sorry.. no cell phone pics, as there are no big mirrors at home or work, and I try not to take pics of myself. So these were from recent parties.. except the last.

[Methais]

Was that party so boring that you started reading a book?

What does it say on the shoulders of that shirt that you made?

And those are the most epic rapist glasses I've ever seen. Please tell me you still have them somewhere.

[Tgo01]

What does it say on the shoulders of that shirt that you made?

It's wipe out.

And no I don't have the glasses from when I was a kid. The others I have someone, but I got new ones just recently.

As for the book.. I am usually anti-social at parties, I don't drink and such. That night I was the designated driver as well, and took everyone home, except the girl, her I took to my place.

Also,I take a book, sometimes two, everywhere I go. Which comes in handy, since onetime my friends car broke down on the way back from Cedar Point and we had to wait 6 hours.

[DCSL]

As for the book.. I am usually anti-social at parties, I don't drink and such.

Me too. The book and the anti-social part, anyway. I drink heavily. Not often, but heavily. But yeah, I take a book and/or my laptop, which has many books on it, everywhere I go. You never know when you'll have a couple of minutes free to read instead of interact with other human beings. I mean that sincerely.

[DCSL]

You need to get yourself a kindle or something similar.

I don't like the control that parent companies have over the contents of their ebook readers. Also, my laptop is actually a netbook with a large HD. So it's small and light and I can do a bunch of different things on it besides read. Like post here and play Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo on an emulator.

[Androidpk]

I play games and post here on my kindle all the time! I could even watch porn on it while listening to heavy metal if I was that type of person.

[DCSL]

Christ, if you're all so above social interaction and so much smarter than all your friends, stay home.

Whoa whoa whoa. I'm an introvert but I never said I was smarter than them. Or that I'm above social interaction. It just stresses me out or, at the very least, is mentally and physically draining. Some people get energized by personal interaction and some people don't. I don't.

Plus, it's not necessarily when I'm with friends but any circumstance in which I'm presented with the choice of reading or talking with strangers or people I'm not absolutely elated to be around. For instance, I know lots of people want to get chatty with cab drivers or hairdressers or gynecologists (Stef) but if I can whip out a book instead and let them go on about their business in silence, I find it much easier. Taking a half hour car trip across town and someone else is driving? Prime opportunity to read a couple of chapters. Lunch break? I can read while I eat a lot more easily than I can talk and eat at the same time.

Doing something other than talking also decreases the likelihood of me offending someone unintentionally. I have been told that if I were a dwarf from Snow White, I would be Inappropriate Dwarf. I can rein it in when I need to, of course, because I'm an adult and a professional of some sort but you never know when I'll have a brain-mouth disconnect.

Trick question. Every dwarf is metal.

[Catts]

depends on the type of party, but unless everyone knows ya I think it's just about the perception others have at someone who comes to a party and breaks out the ol' book lol. Course if you explain with a friendly smile it's because you're the designated driver, then maybe they'll get it, but I'd imagine most would just stick to their assumptions and not even ask. Problem I see there is someone needin to drink to have fun! but if you can't and yer stuck drivin then break out the bud! ;)

or just don't give a damn what anyone thinks and keep on readin

[diethx]

LOL, that is not what I said! I just said I don't feel weird talking to my gynecologist, but I prefer silence when I'm getting waxed.

[Androidpk]

Or break out the bud and keep reading. Though I'm sure breaking out the bud would cause a few people to come wandering over to hang out with you.

[Allereli]

I'm an introvert

Have you read Quiet by Susan Cain yet?

[Latrinsorm]

LOL, that is not what I said! I just said I don't feel weird talking to my gynecologist, but I prefer silence when I'm getting waxed....one stop shopping? The more I think about it, the more it really makes sense. They're going to be down there anyway, kill two birds with one stone.

Come on down to Honest Ted's OB-GYN and Waxorium!

[Androidpk]

I don't like when I'm getting my hair cut and the person starts talking to me and asking me for my life story.

[Savrin]

Books and doctor's offices go really well together for me. I try and take a book with me anytime I think I'll be waiting around for awhile.

I feel like I've used that time well instead of just letting it go to waste. Especially if the reading materiel is geared towards professional development.

Nope but I just downloaded it and I'll start reading it tomorrow. Probably during lunch. Thanks for the tip.

[msconstrew]

Whoa whoa whoa. I'm an introvert but I never said I was smarter than them.

That was directed at TheE, who basically said that he reads because the conversation he encounters at parties is apparently too unsophisticated for his tastes.


Or that I'm above social interaction. It just stresses me out or, at the very least, is mentally and physically draining. Some people get energized by personal interaction and some people don't. I don't.

I don't, either. But if we were hanging out and you whipped out a book, I would be a little miffed/confused. It just seems like a way to deliberately keep yourself apart from the group (and above it, IMO, though I doubt that would be your intent).


Taking a half hour car trip across town and someone else is driving? Prime opportunity to read a couple of chapters. Lunch break? I can read while I eat a lot more easily than I can talk and eat at the same time.

The former, I would find pretty rude; the latter, I do myself.

Ok, as an aside, I used to walk home from work, at 2am - 4am, depending how long I got stuck there, while reading a book, in a 3 piece suit. And this was through gang neighborhoods. Generally, I don't give two shits what people think when I whip out a book and read. Frankly, I get nervous and anxious when I am around people, and reading helps me deal. I really didn't get much read that night at the party, as we were at a bowling alley, and I was kicking everyone's ass. I read when bowling cause it takes my mind off the game. I notice my average generally goes up 10-15 points when I read. Which considering where it starts at, is damn good.

[Jarvan]

Well, in a way, yes. Me reading a book prevents me from saying something stupid. Then again, the parties I generally get invited to don't have people standing around discussing the virtues of a progressive tax system, or deficit spending. They usually tend to be more along the lines of the kind where at some point, someone is taking off their shirt and dancing on a table.

Genuinely disturbing.Andy liked it! Or didn't explicitly dislike it, anyway? I'm not the one on trial here.

No. Not even close. There is two reasons I get invited to these parties...

I don't drink. And I have a massive booze collection.

Long story short, I don't drink booze, I buy it and put it on the bar so I can look at it and say, "I don't need to drink you". Results of loosing a grandpa to booze when I was 5.

You have a very strange sense of logic. You lost your grandfather to alcohol so in return you hang out with people, who apparently are drinkers, and you like to provide them with liquor. I don't see how any of that makes sense.

that's actually kinda strange....lost my grandpa to booze too, think I was 8ish tho.

But I drink lol
