Clothes are not a commodity, especially not shoes. Maybe they won't seem so expensive after a few years of wearing them. What don't you like about them?

The sole's thick, but I don't want to be walking around snow with desert boots again. It'll wear down, too.

Also, I wouldn't say no to a quilted varsity jacket, but I probably wouldn't say yes to an ASOS one.

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]!

yeah. I found these real legit vintage ones somewhere on the web, and I can't seem to find them again. I'm annoyed at my dbs. The inner lining tore from the heel last night, and now everytime I pull my foot out a get heaps of fabric.

^ Clothes are not a commodity. Fashionable ones most certainly are.

No, not right now. It's just not the case. The philosophy that is driving the biggest menswear forums and blogs right now is anti-consumerist:

I tell people that if they buy a good pair of shoes a year' date=' they'll have an enviable shoe wardrobe for the rest of their life. Similarly, start with two or three suits, a blazer and a sport coat, and add one suit and one sport coat a year and you'll have a beautiful wardrobe in no time. That's not how people's consumption tends to go, though. If they're rich, they want to buy a whole wardrobe now, and replace it in two years. If they're not, they think the situation is hopeless.

And to boot, many of these blogs use the expression "style blog" as opposed to "fashion blog" for a reason. It's about dressing well, not dressing for now.

Also worth reading on the subject:

And one last one, from which I derived that line about commodities:

There is one thing that can happen, and which might seem like a waste of money. This is called being dressed by the internet. Not long ago, many bloggers were pushing (and are still pushing) a workwear aesthetic. They pushed it so much, in fact, that people got sick of it, so the ones who were decked out in 200$ chambray shirts didn't know what to do with them. Now everyone loves anglo-italian style, and I imagine those who can afford to get into it but are just beginning to get into menswear (I fit only in the latter, and that seems to be for the best) will probably also get sick of them, whereas those blogging about it will probably keep wearing their pants the same way.

Went clothes shopping today, got tons of [cabbage] in preparation for leaving. A couple of dress shirts and casual shirts, a blazer, a leather belt, 3 pairs of slim-fit chinos, desert boots and dress shoes. I'm pretty happy with it all.icon_thumbsu.gif

 

I know that feel. Sudden burst of confidence eh. :shades:

Bought my first pair of jeans in like 5 years. All the jeans I've previously worn were whatever Pacsun had for sale so it's been really [cabbage]ty quality. Welp I ended up buying some Levi's 514's and hot damn, I had no idea denim could be so comfortable :D

 

Also managed to get some of the most comfortable t-shirts I've ever worn from J. Crew for like $9 apiece. Student discounts compounded with shopping at outlets ftw!

Nice. You should learn to tie your laces right though. Were they blue in the beginning?

Hold up. My friend showed me a website to buy skate shoes for really cheap, so assuming the shipping charges aren't ridiculous, you might save a lot of dough (I bought mine for around 60$ and could have had them for 20-30$). I'll ask him for a link.

Those are Janoskis. You can probably look that up on a sneaker blog and find the exact shade, then Google the shade and the shoe name and find the shoes in stores.

Frankly I don't care if it's a spambot. I've been on the hunt for a Sex and the City dress forever.
