Small timer. If everything in your closet and drawers were good pieces, you wouldn't have to think much to dress nicely.

Doesn't inspire me
I really don't understand how everyone doesn't like predistressed jeans, but they like predistressed boots...?
Why not do it yourself? More authentic... etc...

You have to understand something: dressing nicely should be effortless.

Once you find your effortless style you'll never loose interest in it. Good luck!

The same reason idiots pay J. Crew for slightly modified and worn JP's and Red Wings. But then again if not for their blind acceptance and easily lubed wallets, I would not have people like Xchen to laugh at.

You can look like **** and then get into SF and obsess over all the information here for a couple years or so. When you decide not to care anymore, you'll truly start dressing right.

Be careful Jekyll might call that "pretty stupid"

On a more serious note, that's what I meant. Dressing right is when you do it effortlessly.

There's a Zen lesson in this.
