How Critical Are Others of Your Style? - Page 17

I had a boss that said to me several years back "did you get your wardrobe from the trunk of your car?" a couple times when I wore these Mervyn's brand plaid shirts I wore to work about 7-8 years ago. The trunk he was referring to was my 62 Plymouth's.

It has a lot to do with where you live.

Well, some people are just assholes too.

I get called spiffy at work and i'm like "if only they knew...."

Upon re-reading, it actually looks like present day SF would now make rude comments about everything previously held-up as enviable. Maybe this web site's really just behind the 'plebes'?

Recently, I've gotten gay baseball player from the 1950's (varsity jacket), gay extra from The Outsiders (leather/denim jacket), magician (black patent shoes), well-dressed (gingham shirt), and -- my favorite -- Asian movie star (black nylon jacket, black nylon pants).

I take it as a sign of interest. The only thing that truly repulses me is when I find myself saying, Oh, it's just mall-brand crap... after someone inquires about my pants

I do the 'oh I just got this on ebay' or 'oh I got this 80% off on a whim' thing. I'm usually careful not to dress too weird though.

Also my sister said this to me two days ago 

I just say mr rogers was a fly ass motherfucker.

I don't get comments from my friends usually because they expect me to be adventurous with clothing since I'm in fashion, but sometimes if I'm thinking about wearing something new or crazy I'm afraid my dad might make a dumb comment.

I refrain from wearing anything too crazy if I'm ever going somewhere with him because I don't want to be embarrassing or s/t.
