No.

too late!!! i buckled under the pressure

friend of mine has those and loves loves loves them btw

i agree with Laurel.

?

are they green on the inside and pink on the outside?

no the front-facing pick must be for the black/green pair that hes also selling - the arms are pink on both sides - although i guess i cld get the green pair theyre the same price atm

Depends. If they're exactly the right size for your face, yes. If not, they can easily make you look ridiculous.

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:

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?

http://www.6pm.com/ak-anne-klein-7alzira-pewter

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

http://images.villagehatshop.com/media/images/viewer/125510surlateteMollyClochePlum/medium_125510surlateteMollyClochePlum1.jpg

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 mean i really there there is too much said about "classics" and "investment pieces" and "quality construction" wrt #menswear but i think that buy is all those things & totally justifiable

ohhhh the wool jacket

i might buy it but i worry that i will just always be reaching for my goretex stuff first

http://havenshop.ca/collections/acronym/products/gt-j5a

that navy suit came in -- it's super nice and the jacket fits perfectly in the shoulders. phew. i'll obviously need to take it to a tailor -- I need the pants hemmed and the sleeves lengthened, maybe I'll have the trouser legs tapered a little and the waist suppressed, but all in all it's exactly the sort of starter suit i've been looking for.

yay!

i wish i had occasion to wear more suits. only wear them about twice a year (weddings, prom).

yeah, i don't have much occasion either. my only existing suit was an emergency funeral purchase, which was fine but not quite good enough. i like that this new suit is a true navy blue and not just a flat midnight blue -- just bright enough to stay youthful without being too bold.

OMG I got the Jil Sander shoes in #4, except in royal blue instead of purple... At the sample sale for $110 down from $800!

woah nice kop bro

thinking about a 70s-patagonia-style fleece jacket

but do i want red, blue or grey?

i like the gray but not really into that pocket

dude the pocket is the pièce de résistance

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?

http://topodesigns.com/collection/fleece-jacket/

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)

http://i.imgur.com/Bl5mvkX.jpg

buy all the fleeces and send us each one

like that coat

i like the navy fleece
