The title of this blog post may just say it all but in the body of this post I’d like to take my rationalization for this week’s outfit as far as I can. The night before, I asked Shanana (my partner in Saturday hosting this week) if she would like to go all Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat or something more conservative. For her own reasons, she chose conservative.
Now then, I knew when I posed to her those two paths which general direction each was leading, in terms of my outfit. The technicolor dream-look we shall all visit on a later date. The conservative look involved a size-medium Calvin Klein blue button down, and I didn’t know what pants but my initial idea was to go with corduroy. Unfortunately, the brown cords that I had in mind smell sour, as if somethings alive in the cut lines of the corduroy itself, like a corduroy yeast baking a corduroy bread. Plus they were wrinkly.
So I considered partnering this nice shirt (which I bought at the Hole in the Wall used clothing store for $7.) with blue slacks. But it was way too much blue. Even Chess Records couldn’t handle so many blues, it was icky. That’s when I had the idea of going with dark khaki trousers and a beige teeshirt. My friend Dave says that its gotta be a white teeshirt or nothing, but I put myself in Vern Yip (Deserving Design on HGTV) and used the beige as an accent color. Dave dismissed that as being ridiculous. I can just picture Vern Yip getting ready to tell me that not only is he redesigning my bedroom, but he’s also doing the living room as a bonus because I deserve it!!
Except that my whole apartment is more or less one room.
The idea was comfort first, fashion second. That would be the idea that lead me to partner my newly picked-up size-medium CK blue button-down with the $8. 36 inch elastic waist band khaki trousers that I bought at Target. The thing is, I love elastic waistbands, but I knew such a mammoth pair of pants would not be flattering. And you know what? Frankly, my dearies, I don’t give a damn. Closest thing to sweatpants I own; felt right all night. What do you think of this week’s outfit?
Smuckerface, it looks swashbuckling. At least you are not accessorizing with a mucus elevator. Unless there is one in the photos that I cannot see.
you look great and my sunglasses make you look better! however, 4 paragraphs devoted to a simple outfit is pure vanity! esp. when you know how cute you are. now that you’re sober this may be your form of substituting addictions. and i must approve of that!
tho i am a hypocrite. my new mini vera wang sweater deserves a god-damned novel length description! (this despite sharon asking me if i knitted it!) haha!
