You're right snow...no need to force myself to buy anything. I'll wait until I'm feeling particularly compelled. Don't even know what I'm looking for either! Should probably figure that out....but I think most likely a blazer or piece of outerwear. I really want the w+h wool mac jacket, but just can't do 900+ for it....

also, I feel like there are a lot of sales on the near horizon....seeing that a few people (blackbird and mr porter specifically) are doing a 20% storewide I'm hoping some others follow suit. You can always count on some nice ones in the thanksgiving time frame as well.

For $600 you can buy 90% of the neato outerwear and blazers on Yoox. Just sayin

I have never worn Visvim before but I am all about this look right now.

Passants. :plain:
Not gonna bullshit here, I've hardly read any contemporary american fiction (well any american lit really, very few exceptions aside-Hemmingway, that kind of stuff).

If you're limiting yourself to chauvinist post-WWII fiction (not that it's necessarily a bad period/genre), you're probably ignoring a lot of American fiction.
I'm again guessing Fuuma would dig Auster, altho he's not as "great american novel" as Delillo or Roth. Delillo writes the **** out of novels.

Dunno about DeLillo...White Noise was amazing, Underworld was good, but the couple of other DeLillo novels I've read didn't really do it for me.

Do Uniqlo tees shrink much in the wash? I'm running out of possible inexpensive tees that won't lose a full size, even on a cold wash/delicate dry.

I kind of really want some ridiculous super baggy EG trousers. They'd probably look like **** on my but I don't even care, I'm sick of wearing skinny/slim pants and denim that isn't slim fit looks like **** imo.

Hang drying tees just seems like such a pain **********, especially since they're so wrinkled after they dry.

:fistbump: My 19cm are the only pair of jeans I own, much prefer the silhouette and comfort of trousers.
