I keep thinking about trying to pick up some real estate in our neighborhood, but I just don't think being a landlord is my thing. My brother has like seven rental properties, so I know it's do-able. I think I'm just going to keep going the 401k and other investments route. I'm adding deferred comp this year!

Over time, my dress has moved from frumpy to deliberately casual.   

I'm enjoying it.

just realized that I am going to have a lot of extra money due to recent lifestyle changes. Now, instead of buying food for someone all the time, i might buy a few new items of clothing.

I never thought I would be a dude who hardcore COVETS this one J-Crew sweater.

that is typically how I feel when I purchase/am given nice things. I am trying to get over it though.

so i guess i bought some skinny jeans today

now the question:

do i wear them or bury them in the backyard?



Seriously,  I bought skinny jeans. Two pair. I have not worn anything other than boot-cut since 1993. But I am trying to start dressing like I don't belong to AARP, and since I only had one pair of jeans that fit, I figured if I was going to buy #####, I should buy something that's in style.

I think my Fashion Question for the forseeable future is: What Would Liz Lemon Wear? I can't find a pic of her wearing her hottest outfit ever, but it was basically dark skinny jeans, a fitted, white, button-down dress shirt, and a navy v-neck sweater with cap sleeves (or possibly sleeveless?). If I could rock that exact outfit every single day, I totally would.

She looked so nerd-hot, I rewound the stream and watched her walk into Donaghy's office three or four times in a row.

Dumb question: what exactly is cocktail attire? Keep in mind I live in Utah and not NYC.

Also, dress like you mean it? If you want me to dress in a certain manner you're going to have to be more specific.

That reminds me, do you all think that cuff links can ever be worn without a jacket or tie?

I don't know if I know how to dress for the summer without falling into either "weird hipster asshole" or "weird preppy asshole." I think I am going to default to the latter. I might buy a pair of go to hell #####. Or else too-short shorts in a GTH color.

I recently discovered the "shoes without socks" paradigm and I am pretty excited about it.

In a fit of overexuberance for the weather I shaved my head. SKINHEAD PREP YEAH.

Got my suit back from the tailor. I look more like a guy from Goodfellas than a guy from Mad Men in this thing. My question is this: The dude threw in a purple-ish striped tie (He said it matched the suit, I think he was just upselling me). I feel like purple ties can only be pulled off by men of a darker skin tone. Yes? No?

I own a purple tie, and I think it looks good. I am a pale Scotsman.
