haha ha-- horrible as they are, those sins seem more forgivable in women's wardrobes, which have more tolerance for puffy objects anyway.

but yeah...

99 % of the items on that site are never forgivable. not in anyone's wardrobe.

Don't ask me why, but whenever I watch that guy with the beard in Sideways, I always think of you. Believe it or not that's an enormous compliment.

gmku · 01.05.2009, 01:24 PM

sorry, which one's that? Paul Giamatti? Ha ha! I can see that. Appearance-wise, I'm a bit taller and thinner, though, and overall happier and handsomer.

I fucking hate sweaters and have hated sweaters for my entire life, the puffy shits.

Can't stand them, but two christmases ago, my girlfriend's mom gave me a blue cardigan (the mr roger's type) and I was thankful bvecause it was cold and the sweater made me warm but it is a fucking sweater. I hate sweaters.

Sweaters are starting to grow on me some...although my favorites tend to look like something Freddy Kruger would wear.

On a clothing note, picked these up a couple of days ago for $50 off normal price.

gmku · 01.05.2009, 01:37 PM

I don't know where my wardrobe would be without sweaters.

Nice find, SY. What's the brand?

He's one of my favourite movie characters in years. About ten minutes from the end of Sideways, when he's sitting alone in that diner pouring Pinot Noir into his empty coke beaker, I was like, I could just watch this guy for hours. Like I said. It really was a compliment.

Dr. Martens. Nubuck outer material.

gmku · 01.05.2009, 01:57 PM

Nice.

non leather? did you find them online or in a store? i need some non canvas shoes.

gmku · 01.05.2009, 03:57 PM

That's very insightful.

acousticrock87 · 01.05.2009, 04:17 PM

I like them, but sometimes they have to be worn well. I usually wear a long-sleeve plaid shirt over mine with the sleeves sticking out, cause just the sweater looks a little weird on me. It's hard to explain, but I like it a lot. And it's really warm.

uhler · 01.05.2009, 04:29 PM

sweaters look amazing on me and i look amazing wearing one.

acousticrock87 · 01.05.2009, 04:33 PM

This is what I meant, for sweaters that don't look that good on me:

I had to take a notorious mirror-shot for this. I was not proud.

gmku · 01.05.2009, 04:37 PM

That's an interesting look.

They are leather. I found them in a store, normal price is $70. I found them at a store called Ross. Kind of a store that gets the stuff that doesn't sell well at normal stores.

I needed shoes to wear in the rain instead of Chucks.
