Camel Hair Coat

Just a short bit about a beautiful find I had at the local Goodwill. I was on my monthly search at the Super Goodwill for some fine goodies( mainly cheap high quality shoes). I finally came across a wonderful camel hair sport coat that actually fits. There are a few very small imperfections,but so small you can barely see them. However, for 100% camel hair I can over look a lot. As an added piece of greatness, it fits like a glove( not a tight glove). I decided not to get the good as new Florsheim oxfords due to the excessive price of $15. Goodwill has become very greedy as of late. Hope all is well with whomever is bored enough to read this little tale.
Merry Christmas to you all!

OMG! I've Been Busy!

I know I've been out of the loop lately,but school has taken up more time than I anticipated. I discovered that I am the best dressed in the college,including staff. Some of the younger students are amazed about how I dress and can't believe that I shine my shoes and iron my shirts. On the other hand I'm not surprised after seeing the way they dress. All I can say is "Fucking Slobs" . The standard uniform is sweat pants and oversized t-shirts. This applies to the professors also. Early on the semester, my government teacher thought I was a professor that was lost in her class. I couldn't help but chuckle.
Posts will be a little more frequent, but hopefully I can get some seasonal work to pad my empty wallet. I'm in desperate need of some more white dress shirts because I forgot to buy a size larger and after a few washings the sleeves have shrank too much. Anyway, that will be all for now. I have some ideas for some subjects for future posts spinning about my head,so stay tuned.

Much too busy...

I know I haven't written lately, but I've been very occupied with school. Next week I will take the time to write a piece on something interesting. I just don't know what yet so keep you're eyes open and I'll see you then.

Oops!, I Did It Again

I couldn't help myself ,they were on sale!

Shoe Crazy!!!!

I've been going a bit shoe crazy lately. Since I found those Bostonians, I have been searching for more cheap high grade dress shoes. I found a pair of Bass Monkstraps for dirt cheap and grabbed them up quick.

Then the other day I came across a pair of Stacy Adams "Killian" shoes. The Florsheim outlet had them on sale so I bought them. "Killian" are a strange look at first sight, but they have grown on me.

Once again, I was browsing for a pair of cap toe oxfords on the internet and remembered that Onlineshoes.com had the lowest prices I'd seen so I settled upon the Bass "Atlanta". I payed the sale price, but I feel that's fair for that style of brand new shoes.

Last,but surely not least I scanned Ebay for some "penny loafers" or "weejuns" as my friends in Europe call them and I found some lightly used Florsheims in burgundy. The picture is poor so I won't post a pic until I receive them.

I'm sure I'll come across some more shoes I need to round out my wardrobe. After all, I don't have any dress style boots. Or perhaps, some red wingtips. What do ya'll think.

I Had to Write About This Before I Forgot!

I'll write a longer post in the next few days but I had to tell ya'll about this before I forgot. I went to a Goodwill in the next town over since I had not been there in many years. I was searching for suits and blazers of which they had neither. Shitty store,Oh well. I asked an employee to point out the cardigan section ,if there was one. She looked at me like I had a green horn sticking from my forehead. I asked what the problem was and she proceeded to tell me that she was not aware that anyone but homosexuals wore them because she was not aware that cardigans were made for men. I showed her a section of them in the mens' sweater section. Many were golf cardigans and in no way feminine. She was amazed!
I should have expected this kind of ignorance in a town where flip-flops and Taz XXXL sized t-shirts are the height of fashion for women.
