Humble

The perfect white t-shirt. It’s such a staple/basic that it hardly seems worthy of writing about. If it weren’t so hard to find a good one, I wouldn’t bother. What makes a white t-shirt perfect?  It’s comfortable, being a t-shirt…

Geofashing

Every city has it’s own look. Dictated by weather, geography, dominant industries and subcultures, one city’s style graph is never exactly the same as that of another. Sure, geophraphic style profiles were a lot more distinct twenty-five years ago, before…

Guest Dress

My niece Martha is getting married in July (yay, Martha and Tim!), and I need an outfit. Getting dressed right for occasions is all about the event parameters, so here’s the brief: 1. Outdoor wedding and reception, 2. In Northern…

Accessizzleries

Accessizzeleries(tm). Just kidding. I didn’t really trademark it. Certainly someone has already laid claim to that gem. L to R, here you go: The braided belt is on sale for $29.99 at J Crew. There are a few different color…
