If only that were actually the case... it's already pretty next level fail. But now I want to commission a duck hunt themed cowichan. Uncontrol you should start your own line of clothes only have it be absolutely nothing like you dress (thus making you like pretty much every other designer I guess)

Like, when I see fits like this I don't even know what to think. It's not like it's just some aesthetic I don't like or something. It's so far out of the realm of being good or cohesive or skillful and I just think, ****, someone looked in the mirror and said to themselves, "Yeah, this looks good." And then took a picture of it, uploaded that picture to the internet, and posted it on a message board. This is not an impulsive action. This is an elaborate series of steps that must be followed, and at the end, you've shown the whole world you're wearing this.

98% of the time I eat tofu raw (soft, of course), shoyu + furikake.

Yeah, if you live in NYC, you have absolutely no excuse. Not wanting to purchase online (without seeing the product in person, I'm assuming)? You have hundreds of stores to check product in person! If you're dealing with a budget, set yourself a budget but look for discounts that bring more expensive goods into your range (end of season sales, sample sales, etc.). And as Uncontrol noted, spend a decent chunk on shoes and they'll treat you well. Better to spend $300 to get a decent shoe and daily wear them for 5 years than buy a new pair of $50 Aldos each year

Offtopic: I think the 'eh' smiley looks more confused than the 'confused' smiley and the 'confused' smiley looks more unthrilled than the 'unthrilled' smiley. Proposition: 'Eh' smiley -> 'Confused' smiley 'Confused' smiley -> 'Unthrilled' smiley 'Unthrilled' smiley -> 'Eh' smiley

For what it's worth, I do have an aesthetic that I'm comfortable with and that I believe looks good on me, and every day I go with that I don't really feel compelled to document it. However, the sweater and it's accompaniments were a step or eight outside of my comfort zone, a look I wanted to try but wasn't sure would work out. Hence why I posted it here; to see what everyone thought. Suffice it to say, it clearly doesn't work. Though criticism of a constructive nature would've been more beneficial. Either way, I appreciate your candor.

Being honest, the sweater doesn't bother me that much, if at all. It's the jeans and Tom's.

This could be fantastic. I could see kind of a muscular tall guy wearing that sweater with a button-down with the sleeves pushed up, slim cords, and a pair of brown loafers. That sweater is so close to next level.

However, since it's too big for you, everything you're wearing fights it, and you look kind of sheepish and feckless, you just look like a running gag in a Judd Apatow movie.

You're one hell of an optimist. It takes quite the imagination to turn this abortion into anything remotely passable. I often post things to see what people think of them. Many of said things get mixed reactions. However, it baffles me that anyone could think that looks better than "godawful". There's really no sugar coating this one. Kit I never see furikake for sale anywhere around here, pretty sure I'd need a japanese supermarket of some sort.

It's a good investment. On rice, on tofu, on chex mix

That is 100% true, it's axiomatic. It's also about as much use when it comes to loosing weight as teaching someone to shoot a jump shot by telling them to "shoot the ball and make sure it goes through the hoop every time."

While what you're saying is technically accurate, from a practical standpoint there is more to loosing weight.

boddington,
that is a really cool sweater, but the mere idea of wearing a heavy wool sweater with slippers is marsupialed. You should try it again in 6 months, worn with a jacket and boots.
