Happy Monday forum pals. I had a dream in the early morning hours that I found a box in the house, heavily covered in bubble wrap, that contained two pairs of shoes from some Ebay seller. I did not recognize either pair or have any memory of buying them. I think my mind is trying to tell me something. Spoilered non AE shoe Appreciation for Monday.

I’ve had that dream... except the shoes are from you.

Ok gentlemen, I am a couple months away from a tropical beach-side event. My wife and I are going to renew our vows (didn't know they expired!) and I was considering a new tan or off-white linen suit. Let's have a discussion on what sort of suit/shirt/shoe combo would be great for water and sand.

How tropical? Is a full suit needed?

How about linen pants, a guayabera, and a Panama hat? Shoes? Weave, of course!

Or you could just bring back the 80’s and dress like Mr. Johnson.

Last week I unintentionally briskly walked about 3 miles in these.
I hated doing it but the guy i was going to lunch with suddenly changed his mind and somehow convinced me to try a different restaurant. He said it wasn’t too far but it ended up being more of a trek than either of us anticipated. Still, my 5A remained comfortable throughout.
They deserve some spa treatment!

Haha! 3 miles is a cake walk for those fellers!

Maui tropical, but early fall. Full suit not entirely necessary.
Lol , definitely wanting to avoid Miami Vice vibes.

Bored on a conference call wherein people are trying to decide how we can solve a non-immediate problem RIGHT NOW, instead of looking for the RIGHT SOLUTION for the problem. Drives me nuts when it happens, but it's neither my monkey nor my circus for this conversation, and I'm more than happy to keep my big yap shut.

Anyway, enjoy this double-dose of AE-ness. AE fox sox peeking out from under some cognac McTavishes that haven't been on my feet since 3/7, which seems like an absolute crime, given how awesome this shoe is. Oh, and that corporate carpet? Just the icing on the friggin' cake.

Conference calls are the worst. I always felt like Denny Crain on Boston Legal during them.
