Laatste wat ik heb betaald (2009) was iets minder dan €18,- per paar (verzonken).

When I'm faced with a decision like this where I actually like all of the available choices, I work in reverse and eliminate the one that appeals to me the least. So, in order of least appeal to me... Number 4: I don't care for the end pieces and butt straps.

Number 3: I don't like the bridge.

Number 2: This was tough because these look very sleek to me but...

Number 1: The retro coolness of the tortoise shell rims speaks to me.

Hope this helps.

What does one stamp (of a shoe) on the sole of an AE mean?

Sometimes when I wear a dress shirt for an extended period of time I end up with a rash on my neck from the fabric rubbing. The shirt isnt too tight but it ends up starting to suck after a while. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

-in before the cloth tape! Don't know the answer to your question though, but a few first thoughts: -maybe your shirt IS thight, even though you say it isn't? -maybe it's too loose? who knows? (pic would help). -maybe your neck does not like the fabric of your shirt (description would help, hopefully no manmade fibers) -maybe your neck doesn't like the dyes/chemicals of your shirt (see above) -maybe your neck doesn't like the chemicals in your detergent (see above) -maybe you're genetically disposed? -maybe you should see a doc? -maybe a search would help. in this case google. --> google answers - check it out --> a discussion somewhere else

I have recently purchased my first real suit (Navy) for when I start my graduate position at an MC firm during the end of the year. I tried the navy suit on with a blue gingham shirt and navy knit tie. It looked quite good but on second thought this may be too much navy? What do others think?

Navy suit + blue gingham shirt + navy knit tie = too blue?
