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 (twelve 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 (twelve 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.

trying really hard not to spend money on fall clothes but its soooo hard
― max, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:00 (twelve years ago) link
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 (twelve 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
― max, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:03 (twelve years ago) link
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 (twelve 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.

― elmo argonaut, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
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 (twelve 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
― max, Friday, 16 September 2011 14:26 (twelve years ago) link
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 hear you on the UO stuff in general but gant rugger is actually p great quality

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!)
― quincie, Friday, 16 September 2011 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
how much was shipping?
― caek, Friday, 16 September 2011 15:50 (twelve years ago) link
forty five US bucks!
― quincie, Friday, 16 September 2011 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
coats man. heavy shit.
― caek, Friday, 16 September 2011 16:02 (twelve years ago) link
yay q! hope it works out! i bet the UK 12 is right? i would have the same issue with uk size (10 or 12) and i usually err on the side of sizing up because if the shoulders don't fit, it's no good
also can i just make a comment: people are crazy. missoni for target? i know some of the crazy is just hype and marketing strategery but people! the stuff is still target quality and imo hideous! if you are going to troll ebay to buy missoni at a couple hundred a pop, dang, buy the real thing
