This. Most stores have horrible Y-3 buys, almost nothing without the massive logo plastered all over.

You really do have to go to check out one of their own stores to find the better pieces.

Website stuff looks cool though.

I'm in love with those cargos

I've always associated y3 with sportswear. And it's true, every brick and mortar store that I've seen y3 being stocked in is track jackets plastered with big y3 logos

I sort of like that last jacket ben posted.

Also, according to people on my FB, the vineyard vines "fall collection" is in full swing. Everybody excited to cop some nice pastel polos?

But really, I can do without the influx of that garbage that will slowly take over campus as it gets colder..

I've realized in the past 3 years my sense of style has degenerated from my senior year of high school to my now senior year of college. I got really caught up in school and DGAF about style like I did a few years ago cause I had thought I had all the basics I needed to get by in college (which in all honesty isn't very hard). After my nudies finally blew out I bought a pair of Iron Hearts on a whim while I was in SF and somehow that relatively extravagant purchase has reignited my drive to become fashionable.

I've put the majority of my clothes in garbage bags and sent them to goodwill, so now all I have left are a few t-shirts, button-ups, blown out jeans, and old boots to bum around in. This is my last year before I move onto being a professional (lab technician/grad school for science) so I figure it'll be fun and necessary to rebuild my entire wardrobe from scratch.

Also, some things in styleforum will never die. That cardigan thread has been there for years.
