overplayed style

That photo is like one of those Archie panels where they have a check's head as the foreground for no reason.

check = chick

Elmo have you seen the prep blog by a lady from RI named Muffy? I enjoy it

haha i love this lady bcuz she reminds me so much of my grandmother right down to nagging local merchants to carry w/e yuppie grain is saving yr lyfe right now but some of her 'true prep' aesthetic falls short imo

i went to prep school, in new hampshire, fyi

ex?

just looked up that blog and it's pretty on point -- at least as far as my experience with island-bound preppy matriarchs

no but i have the first chief justice of the supreme court

Martha Washington - but we're Californians and don't really give a shit

this thread is about the muffy blog, isn't it?

Another relative. Not terribly cool, but he did look like he could play a surprise set with Will Oldham.

wow - obvs there's a ton of stuff in virginia named after confederate generals but it's kind of amazing to me that a current US Army installation is named after one (fort ap hill).

afaik i have no family here going back any earlier than the late 19th century - scandinavian/eastern european immigrants.

Yeah, me neither. I'm 1st generation on my dad's side and my mom's grandparents were from Yugoslavia.

Muffy is ridic.

I don't think any of the strains of my family tree (which are pretty disparate - one grandfather was half-Choctaw, one grandmother was born in Saskatchewan and adopted by first-generation immigrant Russian Mennonites, etc.) got to North America after the turn of the 19th century. Too bad none of them managed to make any money in all that time.

I guess some distant Powells in Virginia with a lot of land, but my great-grandfather lost most of his farm during the Depression.

why can't someone make a coat like this fitted for women. the color + the buttons are perfect

wow @ what i've been missing in this thread

you smart people have def clarified some things about lumberjack style to me but i have to say it is p dreamy

im a descendant of William Jennings Bryan and Ambrose Burnside ._.

xp - is there a good example of a movie in which Mark Ruffalo sports said style?

We Don't Live Here Anymore maybe? Or is that all rumpled adulterous professor style?

its a mix - dude def sports plaid workshirts & three days growth but theres lots of lambs wool sweaters & sloppy cords too

its p incredible really

lambs wool sweaters and cords dont fall under the lumberjack umbrella??

from a blurb about a leather carry-all on a product blog:

"It’s not cheap, but we’re sure you know the drill about investments by now."

yeah -- you know the drill

jesus

"investments"

dunno why you guys are second guessing these dudes intentions ya'll just made they stylin on u

wait Primark is called Penny's in Ireland? I was not aware. I sort of love Primark for cheap accessories and tank tops. I am not ashamed. OK, maybe only a little.

yeah primark is irish, they couldnt call it in the uk bc of jc penney r smthng, similar deal to the bulmers/magners thing.

p sure all my ancestors are from approx 50mi radius of where i was born until at least the time of the celts.

also are daria and daria-g the seam poster or

no daria is quinn morgendorfers cousin or something

also last time I checked plymouth rock is in massachusetts... no idea how people itt from new jersey and new york are claiming their ancestors were on the mayflower... http://100ffc.com/forum/images/smilies/smiley-question.gif

haha i will freely admit that i am frequently styled upon but i just find it gross when luxury goods are marketed as investments -- you can justify pricing based on costs and labor and profit margins and marketing and creating an aura of exclusivity, all that seems far more honest and respectable than saying that it's an investment. some franklin mint shit right there imo.

Plax - yeah, I think I knew but just forgot that Primark was Irish.

good question ^^^

also are daria and daria-g the seam poster or

yep, one of them is from the time i was on travel and forgot my login and only had my phone, so i just kept it logged in with that one instead

getting tired of gingham tbh

overplaid style

^may not quite work for yankees

re: narrative in menswear

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/23/fashion/23CRITIC.html

just

in a room with a stuffed fox and a stale style
i stand, for this memorial's sake, alone

you know what else needs to gtfo

the urban gnome style (which is like horrible emo/lumberjack hybrid)

all floppy knit cap worn in the coronal plane, beard, flannel, and skinny stretch jeans that taper into slipper sneaks

elves on holiday to the city

this thread makes me uncomfortably calculate how many ppl roll their eyes at my outfit on a daily basis

can i just:

slacks with a button-up shirt, a tasteful tie, and loafers?

fuck you

lols ahoy @ 'urban gnome style'
easy to mix up with 'homeless guy style' imo

shaved my beard partially due to this thread. feel way cooler now tbh

Lazy beanies are the fucking worst

Look that hasn't been played enough: older black man style with matching suit, hat and alligator skin shoes (preferably in a garish color like purple or mustard)

that look just says "south side of chicago" to me

EXACTLY.

Judging by NYT Style coverboy Tim Lincecum, the stoner naif look is cresting:

"adorable"????

Wo. That's a nice smile and everything, but taken feature by feature, more than a little bit grotesque. Deffo not adorable. Style completely aside. Whoah.

elsewhere on this board, he has been called the Pee Wee Herman of baseball:
