Gonna respond to this in turn.
N&f - was predicting stretch. Didn't. Will probably sell on b&s and grab 32s instead. Live and learn.
Suit was meant to be worn casually, think I was first to point out shortcomings in shoe dept there, disagree that it's "absurd" though.
Mcqueen shirt is awesome imo but can see why someone might think it was too much, difference of opinion. I do like it because it's mcqueen but not because of the label, I liked the prints in that collection. You don't, fine.
As for the shades I just like them, wear them with everything. So I don't see where you're coming from on that, it might be a "not seen in rl context" issue.
So yeah all that crit is fair, and appreciated, but you don't have to be a sarcastic **** like I have somehow personally offended you by doing my thing. I didn't backhand your mom, I posted something on an internet forum. You don't see me bitching when you post useless junk and you're lying to yourself if you think you haven't. I'd rather read circle jerk posts (aka the baller sneak thread) than single-member masturbatory sesh like the holier than thou **** you just brought up there. And I'm betting you wouldn't be a prick if it was in person. Talked to you when I read that assignment you did, you seem like you're a normal dude.
As for the other stuff, it's too tempting to dismiss it as petty subconscious jealousy, I won't do that but you're at least partly out of line. I enjoy other people's purchases vicariously, so I imagine the inverse is true, and if people didn't enjoy sharing their stoke on a new acquisition no one wouldve started recent purchases in the first place. The talk is more when more stoked, ie recent lanvin low kop, I am particularly amped on because I've wanted that pair for a while and they're better than I expected. But that doesn't mean me/sq/kvc/rfx whoever should be dismissed as just seeking validation. **** you think I'd even own a mcqueen print or n(n) silk coat or have posted that fit today if all I wanted was validation? Easy as **** to get the circle jerk going, not that everyone can be jkissi but see last week's business casual fit for reference, people were positive about it but it's not exactly hard to put a fit like that together.
Kind of why I don't want to hate on fertilizer's stuff even though it's not my cup of tea. Having a perspective / doing stuff out of your own comfort zone isn't easy to make look good and if dude even has a 1 in 5 success rate he's doing well. Which brings me to the last thing- I never lorded my e cred over the dude or even dealt with his clothing choices, I told him he should calm the **** down. Not the same thing.
Ps I am a semi-broke recent grad who most days wears one of the TWO PAIRS on lanvins I own (I'm not rfx with his closet full of lvuitton ish) or cps, jeans and a t shirt when not working. That's what I'm wearing now, can find an elevator if you don't believe me. The funding difference here is not exactly light years.
do you want constructive criticism? those naked & famous jeans you wear are far too tight and make you look womanly. sperrys are a casual shoe and mixing them with a suit is absurd; you should wear some loafers. that mcqueen print is ugly, i don't care if it's from mcqueen. those bottega veneta sunglasses look neat in pictures but are also ridiculously contrived and costumey. the look you're trying to pull of requires a certain gravitas/life experience, and the fact that you have to seek constant validation by posting pictures here (and discussing your buys) means you don't have what's necessary. you know who does? the men's fashion director at neimann marcus who MC keeps jizzing over. this guy:
as someone else said, he doesn't have a blog, he doesn't post fit pictures, he dresses how he wants and **** everyone else. until you can do that, you can't disregard basic prescriptive rules of appropriate dress.
but all that is fine until you try to lord your 'sf status' over someone who does dress interestingly. nobody ******* cares how many posts you have or how many designer items you own. its meaningless.
the difference between you and fertilizer is that fertilizer posts his pictures because he has something neat to share, you post because you want to a. brag about your latest purchase $$$ and b. get validation. there's nothing wrong with the latter, except you're trying to lord your nonexistant e-cred over someone doing the former.
and yet, i don't really give a ****. you seem like an ok guy. i just want the stupid chatter to stop.
ps: the reason I don't post fits is because I'm a broke student who wears the same thing every day. today it was a 102 outside with brutal humidity, so I wore a hanes v-neck and some j crew shorts with sperrys. but if you really want, I can start taking fit pics, posting them, and then act offended/as if I know better when people post advice.
