Material Girl...uh, Guy...uh...
Tax free week reappeared in New York so Darling Wife and I went out clothes shopping. For the second time this year I bought more boy clothes than girl clothes.
This is a trend, though I can't decide if it's disturbing or not.
In any case, I'll address the male fashion statements first:
Since, IMHO, Stripey (the striped shirt that is de rigeur for Yuppie types at clubs) is dead, I got some '70s-style, floral (and florid) patterned shirts: a white shirt with purple flower patterns, and a brown shirt with butterflies(!) and vines in orange and yellow.
VERY cool.
I had a moment of quiet triumph that made me feel a bit like Darling Wife. Last year when I went thrift-store diving at the late, lamented Alice's Underground, I bought a camel-colored courderoy blazer and a military jacket.
And what did I see on sale at H&M: courderoy blazers and military jackets.
Score!
I also ended up getting some dark, boot-cut jeans, chocolate-brown (that's a great color for fall!) courderoy slacks, pin-striped grey casual slacks, and some cool leather Skechers.
Actually, the only female clothing I bought all weekend was a deep bronzy plum silk camisole with lace trim, which I wore last night to the MHB couples group.
Though I plan to go shoe shopping this weekend if I can.
In truth, I went through Lucky over the weekend and I just couldn't make heads or tails of this fall's fashion. So I think I'll just get a few basics and hold out until spring.
I did also pick up a leather journal, which I had wanted to get for a while. Mostly I've been writing ideas for the blog in it, which I will try to publish here...but I've been quite busy of late.
Oh yeah, and a new laptop, but more on that another time.
