I'm sure there is one, but I've been unable to find it (still looking). It also features a beard of almost nineteenth-century unruliness.

Ok guys, I have fixed the front of my black dress so now it looks smashing (see photo thread for details)

Now here is what I want you tell help me with. Which dress do I wear to the Mountain Goats next weekend? The black one looks better on but it also looks fancier, and I don't want to be too overdressed.

Also bear in mind I am going with Brett, so I will look 10 times fancier beside him in his jeans and tshirt combo.

Houndstooth dress,

Juxtaposition · « **Reply #1903 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 12:35 »

I wondered if anyone here could give me some advice... I'm looking for a warm-ish jacket I can wear on bike rides and while cross-country skiing and walking and stuff. I have a beautiful winter coat, but I shouldn't really wash it, so I don't want to get it gross and sweaty. I have a couple of old zip-up fleeces that are very practical, but also very ugly. anyone have a better suggestion? I need something cute, washable and quick to dry.

Gender? I am assuming male but I want to be sure

Juxtaposition · « **Reply #1905 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 12:39 »

oh, sorry! I'm a girl. I keep forgetting I just joined this forum and people don't know me here!

It is hard to go wrong with a solid color bomber coat.

Thomas Edison · « **Reply #1907 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 13:22 »

Man, that's a fine coat for the ladyfolk.

In other news, I waaant this.

It's not my style, but it looks warm, and I can always use more warm clothes.

Juxtaposition · « **Reply #1908 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 13:29 »

Great. Now I really want that bomber! Unfortunately, I don't have enough money... but, I'll put it on my solstice wishlist and maybe buy it if I get a job or something like that...

tania · « **Reply #1909 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 13:36 »

man i really want that jacket now too, that is so nice

people who are good at fashion, i am stupid at fashion. please post more things for looking at

RE: non blue/black jeans

click here if you want to see how ridiculous i looked in 2005.

i still have those jeans by the way and am waiting for the right time to bring them back out again because they are actually pretty slick looking with the right shirt/shoes. i don't still have that hair, however (thank satan).

Ladybug · « **Reply #1911 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 13:42 »

Yeah, that jacket is pretty damn great. But I'm also pretty sure that you would be able to find cheaper bomber coats that were at least almost as nice, if not almost identical, if money is a problem, Juxtaposition. But also, a wool jacket like that is probably not as washable or quick to dry. I would go for something like http://bergans.no/dynamisk/ftp/produktbilder/bekledning/large/5951_blackazure.png , which isn't really fashionable, but still looks pretty good and is actually made for being active.

I used this for the photothread but I got a new peacoat. I like it a lot and it fits well. What do you guys think?

Ballard · « **Reply #1913 on:** 04 Dec 2008, 14:17 »

Scandinavian War Machine, I actually like that hair on you!

In combination with the outfit it is fucking hilarious but stylish nonetheless.

haha well thank you, but rest assured that that picture does far too much justice to that hair. it was pretty gnarly and not in a good way.

Scandinavian War Machine, you look like an apprentice pimp in that picture, and a stylish one at that. (That is not meant to be an insult!)

Looks nice except for the fact that...

You need a bowtie! Like soon. More like now.

Spluff · « **Reply #1919 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 04:15 »

You don't wear a tie with a peacoat! Especially not a bowtie - that ain't no dinner jacket, laddy.

Anyway, I suppose peacoats are okay, provided you don't mind looking like everybody else on the planet.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1920 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 04:17 »

Nobody needs to wear a bowtie with anything. Not even with a tuxedo.

Gilead · « **Reply #1921 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 04:55 »

This is how you pull off a bow tie.

I dunno, sometimes bowties can look good. I think they tend to be a cool old guy thing, though.

Try being a music major in college. You are required to wear a black bowtie when performing in most concerts.

What is all this?? Bowties are adorable!

Genbot2500 · « **Reply #1925 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 08:48 »

i now have this hat. I love this hat.. You can also see the duck hanging from my backpack.. And my man boobies many years of swimming have given me.. That's just neat

Now be honest? Am i disillusioned and is this hat just pure shit?..

Drill King · « **Reply #1926 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 09:19 »

Fedoras are generally hit or miss. It is a potentially good hat(looks a bit small though, but do not wear them with a tshirt and back back.

Genbot2500 · « **Reply #1927 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 09:31 »

yeah, i know. I just cut my hair, so it fits a bit better (and with just, i mean for a while now).. Doesn't go with casual.. Gonna remember that

mooface · « **Reply #1928 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 10:12 »

i was very, very good all semester long and did not go shopping at all (the bubble dress i posted previously doesn't really count because it was free).

i suddenly made a few impulse buys last week... and they were all plaid. this was totally not on purpose.

and now i am going to show them off because i would rather take pictures of myself than study.

plaid shoes!

plaid jacket!

plaid skirt that i tried on because i figured "oh anyways it is going to fit me like shit and i won't buy it" but then i thought it fit great and was like "shit now i have to buy it" but now i am not so sure anymore!

Liz · « **Reply #1929 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 10:15 »

I love plaid so much. I really need to get more plaid.

Anyways. When I get a chance I will take a picture of my new coat. It is so completely rad, and it was free. Hells yes.

Ã¶de · « **Reply #1930 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 10:18 »

Mai, I like your plaid a lot!

valley_parade · « **Reply #1931 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 10:18 »

Excellent jacket, MaiAda!

tania · « **Reply #1932 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 10:19 »

MAIADA those shoes and jacket are wicked, and i am not sure about the skirt either but you are right about it fitting you really well.

Ã¶de · « **Reply #1933 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 11:56 »

I'm pretty sure about the skirt.

jodizzle · « **Reply #1934 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 13:46 »

I'm with Danosaur on this one, I am certain about that skirt.

All of those things are rad Mai.

You're much too fashionable for Newcastle.

I hear the Sartorialist has been traipsing around Australia because he could sense the bow tie + fancy shorts combo. Seriously, dude loves those things.

ALSO check out the tattoo thread, Gilead, she put a picture there of it. It is a Good Tattoo to go with her Good Clothes. Seriously, Mai, those shoeeeeeeeessss <3<3<3<3

I like to think that I'm too fashionable for Fargo, but perhaps I am just trying to make myself feel better.

Ptommydski · « **Reply #1949 on:** 08 Dec 2008, 23:25 »

The image that Jace posted of Nirvana is from 1989 and thus not representative of the 90s.

You can tell because it is from Jason Everman's brief tenure with the group.
