You really don't need a layer of long johns for 10 F Unless you the job you work or something causes you to be outside for multiple hours each day.

Really impressed with the quality. Seriously if i was dropped into fallout 3 and had only to choose 1 pair of shoes, I'd prolly choose these. I can definitely understand the critiques though; I do agree with you guys for the most part.

A few months ago I was where you are at now in that i wanted to start expressing myself by what i wear. However, i figured out that this is very difficult to do without compromising the main goal of dressing well: to look good.

There are some people on this forum (e.g. Leonard Leroy) who can express themselves and look good at the same time, but until i reach such lofty heights i'm focusing on doing simple things well.

Coincidentally, this is what i'm wearing today:

^^^ Do you like bread and butter, do you like toast and jam?

I don't think combining personal expression with aesthetics is really so difficult. It helps to have some sort of "eye" for design and color to begin with, of course, and some ideas of what colors/forms work for you in particular.

Incorrect. I very much enjoy the lifestyle shots. My life is overworked, domesticated, and suburban, so it's nice to vicariously escape.

Listening to Hot Jazz Saturday Night, and lovin' it.

Ich habe ein paar Postkarten für Sie.

I'm really enjoying wearing this jacket. Its down-filled but isn't so puffed-up. The Lee 101B's are fairly baggy with a very high rise. Still breaking them in. Wasn't sure about them but I like them now. Can't wait until they get softer.

I started out the opposite. I use to play it safe while i was figuring out my fit and sizing for things. The more confident i became with basics the more i decided to mix it up. I am very finnicky about color schemes. I had green shirt matching the green shoes while white and dark brown worked with the khaki. The white lining on the zipper lets the green work as a layer. My first time ever wearing those khakis outside of work. As you can see by my demeanor I look to unfriendly so i feel the purple helps. Plus i Love purple hue's. I feel this is just new poster bias, but I have been a member for over 2 years I was just banned for messing with people a little to much.
