your reasoning/motivation?

1. I've spent a lot of money on clothes over the past year.
2. I'm poor.
3. I'm tired of looking for that next amazing thing.
4. I have enough clothes that I truly like to wear.

If I can convince myself that I'm just fine with what I already have, I think I'll be happier in the long run. I'm thinking of starting a 6-month No Purchase Club.

Oh, and:
5. I spend way too much time on SF. I need to get the hell off SF and find myself a girlfriend.

I figured you had just received your bandanna laundry bill and were FREAKING OUT.

I hear you on the 6-mth no purchase club. Unfortunately, I have no self control.

Sadly, I live in a place where there are very few unmarried women in their thirties. As a result, the ones who aren't are either (1) grad students who are only going to be here for a couple years, or (2) mildly insane.

Wouldn't it be great if there was some kind of prize for whoever sticks it out in the 6mo NP Club, like a pair of jeans? It would be hard to verify, though.

they are that way everywhere, it is simply a matter of time until they reveal the scope of their insanity to you.

I know how every woman who is older is like "OMFG no decent guys!!" I actually think feel worse for the subset of guys that aren't wack jobs, it's probably harder for them

Barker black is marsupialed. Am yet to see there details look better then classic styling, without being pompous and silly. "MY PENNY LOAFERS HAVE A CROWN SHAPED WINDOW BECAUSE IM INTERNET ROYALTY"

+1. Barker Black's detailing is rather subtle and unless i'm mistaken, you can get shoes without the skull broguing. I see it as just being a fun detail (y so srs?).

On a related note, on Sunday's "Three Rivers" the one doctor gets called out for being pampered as is evidenced by the fact that he is wearing Barker Blacks.
