So, I got these like two weeks ago and they're probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3954 on:** 18 May 2010, 15:59 »

Shane the reason they are comfortable is because they are grandad slippers in disguise.

First you guys denounce Wayfarers as douchey and then you turn on Sperry boat shoes?

You're all embarrassingly wrong.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3963 on:** 18 May 2010, 23:57 »

There's nothing wrong with boat shoes on principle it is just that those particular shoes are rubbish

Actually I am looking for boat shoes right now! woooo

sean · « **Reply #3964 on:** 19 May 2010, 00:06 »

i am vehemently opposed to boat shoes. after four years of all guys school, i cannot see somebody who wears boat shoes as a rad dude. sorry!

also the pretty light blue plaid makes em even douchier.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #3965 on:** 19 May 2010, 04:08 »

Boat shoes can look spiffy, but then they can look all Henley Regatta in a bad way to, like people in Haynes polo with the collar turned up & Gap cargo shorts.

This is what I'm thinking, mine is black with a sight change in the material to make stripes, thats quite enough for me, but I do like the style of the print. It looks almost lomoish.

There is definitely a crude joke about getting busy to be made here, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of going further than speculating about it.

I meant that I would recoil in horror and run out of the room, which has never been found to be an effective seduction technique.

One of my uncles almost always wears boat shoes and is a bit of a douche. I do not like boat shoes because they make me think the dude wearing them is a douche. There's nothing wrong with them if you happen to be on a boat.

allison · « **Reply #3972 on:** 19 May 2010, 08:30 »

My dad wears boat shoes with beat up old jeans and white button down shirts and a tattered baseball cap and he is fucking rad. Boat shoes ≠ douche, friends.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3973 on:** 19 May 2010, 09:19 »

Internets! I am procrastinating from revision by spending far too much time and money on Asos!

Here are the clothes I have bought:

A black t-shirt
A black vest top
A pretty flowery dress
A pretty pink flowery dress
A beaded coral cocktail dress
An orange dress
A pale salmon prom-style dress

We will not talk about how much it cost. Instead we will focus on how I will not have to buy clothes again for a long time! And how pretty they are! And how awesome it is that you can buy things off the internet... actually that's the problem, it is too easy.

Drill King · « **Reply #3974 on:** 19 May 2010, 10:38 »

I like boat shoes a lot but certainly not those. I like ones that are more plain. In fact boat shoes are some of my favorites.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #3975 on:** 19 May 2010, 18:21 »

Barmy I clicked the link for the first flower dress and first I thought it was pretty but now I think it's more just that the girl is pretty- not feeling the teeshirt-y top. The rest are rad though!

what's with hipsters and steel-toed boots these days

i used to sell work boots. they ain't comfy.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3979 on:** 20 May 2010, 22:34 »

I basically want some boots for hiking/general-getting-the-shit-beaten-out-of-them duties, so it's not really a hipster thing per sé. I'd actually prefer not steel-toe but that seems to be all I can find!

I am leaning toward the second pair of boots because I actually own no decent black footwear, everything is brown.

Melodic · « **Reply #3980 on:** 20 May 2010, 22:38 »

Work boots make horrible, horrible hikers. They last forever, yeh, but they'll absolutely maul your feet in the process. If you're dead-set on that style of boot, take a look at Timberland's composite-toe line, which is way lighter and much more comfortable.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #3981 on:** 21 May 2010, 01:10 »

I love my steel-toed work boots, the only thing wrong with them is the tiny squeak they make when I take a step because there's a hole in the sole. Hole in the sole. Anyway I've never found them remotely uncomfortable! And the alternative is broken toes when I accidentally drop a seven-foot scenery flat on my feet.

They're pretty nice, I'm sure you could find ones that are even simpler and don't have the check, I really like that style of shoes when they're all monochromatic and simple. But they are certainly not bad.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3991 on:** 21 May 2010, 20:00 »

They're OK as far as Jordans go. I do actually really like earthy tones on sneakers though, if I was gonna get sneakers again a pair of Vegan Saucony Jazz would be high on the list.

Truths. In my experience, vegan shoes last longer than regular sneakers. Could be the brands though.

So, over the next three weeks, I'm going to be writing a conference-style semiotic analysis of DIY fashion blogs (I've imposed only one requirement: they have to be primarily about making clothes. I've been ignoring general "crafty" sites, which are frequently really cool but not quite what I'm looking for). I'm beginning by creating a working list of good stuff... Here are the blogs I plan to mine for information, so far:

Makeshift Project
The Uniform Project
New Dress A Day
Confessions of a Sewing Dork
Made: A Creative Collection
V and Co.
The Mother Huddle: Sew Be It
See Mommy Sew
Angry Chicken
Made by Rae
The Handmade Dress

Now I need your help: what am I missing? What's out there in the fashion blog community that's really good, really influential, really cool, really creative?

ALSO: are there any men doing this? The bloggers on my list all have two X chromosomes. I know there are a number of men's fashion sites out there, but as far as I can tell, they're all about buying stuff or how-to guides on being manly. Do any men make clothing and blog about it? There are plenty of men in the mainstream fashion world...it seems like they've got to be out there blogging, too.

Lines · « **Reply #3995 on:** 24 May 2010, 17:02 »

Have you considered knitting blogs? They are technically DIY fashion, but all of your blogs are about sewing. (Some are really cool, btw, and I bookmarked a few.) I don't know if you think that's "too crafty", but I don't see why they would be if their focus is clothing. Sadly I don't have many bookmarks since I switched laptops, but check out sites like Knitty and Ravelry and browse the patterns and links to find bloggers. (You need an invite for ravelry, so I'll send you one if you're interested, just PM me.) I can dig up more if you'd like. The only actual blog I have bookmarked is Brooklyn Tweed.

And as far as I know, most of the blogs I remember were written by women, but I know there are men on Knitty and Ravelry, you just have to find them.
