Should I Buy This? Yes/No

i dont hate them, but no

i didn't buy the adam kimmel roulette slot machine scarf, the sperry shearling boat shoes, the prada espadrille brogues, nor the jil sander neon soled shoe. in case anyone was hankering for an update

i did buy a SIBLING sweater but did not get the persols pictured upthread. i bought a pair of vintage 649s instead...

still wanna buy a pair of alden penny loafers:

koodoban mokashin

i should get them, right?

i like the shape of those a lot!

ORDERED.

lol i didn't mean all caps but i kinda like it that way.

Hm. That kind of wedge heel is not for me, but I like the strap arrangement.

OK these are either completely awful or could look really good on/in person. What do you think?

And these?

i like the 2nd ones a lot more than the first.

Yeah I do too but I can't stop wondering if the fist might be the kind of thing that looks really good on. Probably not though.

The AK ones: yes. The other ones: No way.

lol

OK I GET IT

Unbelievable that they were charging $70 retail for a plastic wedge with elastic in the back. Disappointed, AK.

I got these silver glitter and raffia things from Strawberry for $15 and they're better looking. :( Anne Klein's product management whatever whatever committee should know better.

What I'm saying is that I like the 2nd pair and I want to like them even more but I think $27 is a reasonable price because the quality that would justify anything more just doesn't seem apparent.

Yaz Bukey brooch?

What is that, is her boob talking? Do your boobs talk?

its a pin so i can make any part of my body talk, not just my boobs

it's silver / chrome / mirrored, right? not that black-pink gradient, i hope.

i think it's fun! especially if you were to embellish it with a lipstick kiss

moderately expensive purple kangol?

it would look really cute on you!

full disclosure: my irl response to this question is always yes. i am an enabler.

go for it

thrilled to see the village hat shop is still around. I bought a fedora from them in high school when I thought I was really into swing music and the roaring 20s!

for some reason, all 3 people i've mentioned this to have thought that buying it would be the stupidest thing in the entire fucking world

how would it help your style, though

I've read like half that book, it gets kinda boring

it's hard to know how low it would go on my head/how much ear it would cover?
i think the above hat would be more versatile than the ridiculous purple cloche i'm tempted to buy instead because i am a crazy old lady

for some reason i really want a purple hat for fall/early winter

Z-S what would you do with that book?

shit, didn't see this was on ILStyle, sorry! but i guess my style is probably so bad that carrying it around would maybe improve it?

xpost i would probably file it on my shelf next to my fireplace dvd. basically to bust out for the lols, but mainly just to make myself lol

no way man, you never know whats gonna happen next

it would be sort of neat to wallpaper a closet with it as well

I'm asking because I have this gigantic slang dictionary (Eric Partridge!) that I occasionally pull out for lols, and I support this sort of purchase.

Amanda, i like the kangol better, but i don't know if it would cover your ears. i think you should get a purple hat in any case!

didn't mean to hijack yr "should i buy this" question, la lechera! you would most likely look supercute in that hat fwiw

otm

i think the kangol is the only realistic option if i am being totally honest with myself

no hijack, buy the book if you can do something fun with it

I thought I was really into swing music and the roaring 20s!

dayo, i just lol'd so hard at the idea of you being this kind of dude

you should absolutely get that kangol it would look adorable on you!

ok twist my arm and make me buy that cute purple hat

i also loled btw

I do like the cloche, but the cap is so sassy.

Do it do it do it!!

lol i bought my turban from them

for some reason, all 3 people i've mentioned this to have thought that buying it would be the stupidest thing in the entire fucking world

here's what bruce said about it in Applied Cryptography:

The meat of the book is the "Table of Random Digits." It lists them in five-digit groups -- "10097 32533 76520 13586 ..." -- 50 on a line and 50 lines on a page. The table goes on for 400 pages and, except for a particularly racy section on page 283 which reads "69696," makes for a boring read.

lol <3 that guy

that being said, i really want that book.. reminds me of kenneth goldsmith's 'uncreative writings'

agree with goon, something about the pocket is just a little too jump-outy

on the gray I mean. obv on the navy it's fine

i mean im like the opposite of a jump-outy type of guy so yrmv

I say go flashy with the red one.

go big or go home, right?

red in xxl

The red one is a nicer color combo and def bolder.

tlg did you see topo is making some like that now?

also-- how do you like your backpack?

also patagonia stores now have a section that sells "previously owned/vintage" patagonia apparel lol

it's the best backpack i've ever owned

hi-five

there is a store near me that has about 50 vintage patagonia fleece pullovers

also: check out my new winter coat (mine is army green not charcoal)
