Let's say this is 5 pounds in the first year. By robbie's 10th anniversary, that's 50 pounds!

re: the jeans

i washed them last night in hot water.

But really, it has more to do with me just eating a steak than being married, gaining, what have you.

Something feels off this time, not sure what. Cold as **** in the middle of March with snow on the ground is messing with my brain.


I've got a similar build to you, and find I need to avoid the cropped jacket / tight jeans / heeled shoes combo. 2 out of 3 of those can work for me, but not all 3. Either get rid of the stacking in the jeans (and no cuffs) or change the shoes would be my suggestion. Personally, I'd deal with the stacking first. Cheers!

Taking a week long staycation in the Cleve. As such, I actually have the time to put my first post in SW&D WAYWN.

The onion rings were as good as they look. The burger was fine, but better can be had.

The Orval was very good and not nearly as bitter as many other Pale Ales.

Cuffed pants, cropped jacket, and tucked shirt make you look very squat

shirt is too long to be left untucked and I love the jacket. Would it look better if I just uncuffed the jeans? Also, what are your thoughts on such a light colored shirt with khaki pants?

I think the shirt + pants combo work fine, especially with the darker jacket
Uncuffing the jeans, especially if they stack up a little bit, would likely make the silhouette look a lot better - I've got small shoulders/larger thighs so the same thing happens to me

Thanks for the help, the jeans do have a fair amount of stack to them. Damn I wish I had longer legs

That's true, I'll try it untucked sometime soon and see how it works. All my pants are pretty low rise; I've been looking for some reasonably priced slim twill pants with a medium or higher rise.
