that feeling when you get home from the store and realise you didn't actually like the clothes you bought you just had a crush on the manikin

these have been in heavy rotation since i have started transitioning to fall
they are actually my boyfriend's but we share a shoe size, it kinda rules

anyway since ties are kinda my thing i have to say i am going heavy on rough vintage wool & brushed flannel ties, lots of plaids, ancient madder paisleys are definitely seasonal for fall but i kinda hate them

so after i posted about rugby shirts i stopped by the thrift on the way home and found a solid green one that fits pretty well! i think it'll look good under the navy puffer vest i found a couple weeks ago
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 16 September 2011 01:16 (thirteen years ago) link
i like rugby shirts. isabel marant did some women's rugby inspired styles last season that i really liked but couldn't justify spending that much on a casual weekend piece. might get one eventually since they show up a lot on ebay, i don't think they were super popular
quincie that coat is top class imo

isn't this, like, one of the perks of dating same sex? sharing clothes?
― jaxon, Friday, 16 September 2011 06:28 (thirteen years ago) link
speaking for myself here, but there is a weird tension that can occur between wanting to sleep with someone and wanting to look or dress like them. if you have compatible style & size with your partner it can be an added bonus but... it's not a good reason to get involved with anybody.

Rugby shirts and penny loafers, my god, this is like my junior high wardrobe.

i have been avoiding visiting clothing websites and then yesterday elmo linked to norse projects and i spent like half an hour trying to think of how i could reallocate my money just to get one sweater or something
― max, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link
actually though i am pretty set for fall, maybe *too* set, i have like 5 different jackets/sweatshirts, a million sweaters, thick shirts etc

this is not really my "look" and i cant afford it but i really love this patrik ervell jacket

just because you dress like one doesn't mean you will become one though :/
haha laurel, you might appreciate this: i put on a tartan shirt and tartan tie this morning... and i just realized that they are variants on the same tartan. and i layered a rugby shirt over it all. wtf scottish lol.
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link
also, both tartans are of the clan that has the same name as my dog o_o

max there are a lot of varsity-styled jackets this season, it's def a thing now, i'm sure you could find one at a good price!

it would be a nice gesture if she laughed all the way to the bank and then drew out some money and bought you one.

yeah i like the wool though! also everything ive gotten from UO falls apart really fast
also real talk i cant really even afford a $100 jacket so while were *daydreaming* i might as well go for PE
― max, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:25 (thirteen years ago) link
also as i said i already have 3 different fall jackets + two sweatshirts + a number of flannels so its like the last thing i need

i got this ervell "fall shirt" last year when i was flush with cash and i love, love love love love love love it

I ordered that Weekend by Max Mara (secondary line, still $$$ but not ridiculous for something I will wear every day, every winter, for at least a decade)! It is shipping from the UK from a place called matches that looks like my kinda store. Crossing my fingers that the UK 12 was a good call. Anyhow, thanking u ilx for recommending max mara and thus drastically streamlining my search for a camel coat.
(Note: the coat is 49% wool, 33% alpaca, 12% nylon, 6% angora. Should be very warm with the alpaca in there!)
