I wore tees through most of high school, college, and my early work years. It explains so much... if only I had known then! 
|
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Work is button up or polo shirts and khaki's, as long as it has a collar it's fair game.
I wear t-shirts pretty much everywhere else I go.

I hang dry my shirts if they're stuff like Threadless shirts. Also, if it's that newer kind of shirt that seems thinner and more likely to shrink, I will hang it to dry. Then I have other shirts that I've owned since 1998 and that have always been dried. I have to wear button up shirts and/or suits every day at work. When not working, I'm almost always wearing a tshirt. Hang dry T shirts? What are you people doing in these shirts exactly?
I just want to keep the ones that I bought to replace the old, destroyed ones to stay nicer longer. The stuff from Threadless, &c. is pretty nice. The dryer seems to mess up the screen printing over time.

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

I was referring to the implication that wearing a t-shirt makes you gay.
Didn't say that. I said it's a fashion statement for the gays in my region. I'm sure in California or the northeast, everyone's wearing them.

The dryer seems to mess up the screen printing over time. Threadless completely dicked me over with their trick or treat sale. Three of the fucking ugliest shirts known to man (one being a Michael Jackson print). It was especially bitter since I've done a few random woot shirt sales and they've been ace every time.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation. -William Gibson

You're an accountant from the South so word hasn't reached you yet. Professional dress is dead, what you call "weekend dress-down" is now "Business Casual" and the uniform of white collar workers everywhere else. Sort wardrobes out from that benchmark and you'll discover that T-shirts are indeed clubbing or "dress down day at work" attire.  The only reason I'm not wearing three pieces with my suits is the lack of good vest options. Fucking slackers.

Several friend's wives insisted on going to Men's Warehouse with their husbands to get one. I'm a fan of the look.

I love suits. I wish I could wear one without looking like a fool among all my lesser-dressed associates in jeans and polos. Hell, I don't even mind ties all that much, other than the whole "flopping all over the place" thing they do if they fall out of your clip. I miss workplace dresscodes.
Then again, I also hate open-toed shoes in the office and women who try to pass off casual every-day blouses as dress shirts.

I would not have done well in the 50's and 60's in the professional work environment. I severely dislike dresscodes.

Our dress code was recently loosened, the next day I wore my best suit :p Some stuff made sense, like taking out stockings for women (srsly) and adding clauses to cover modern trends like saggy pants and jammy bottoms. Merusk - one reason I like the three piece, besides looking awesome, the tie is contained behind the vest. Much less annoying.
I'm a hound for clearance racks, but as I said, vests are really tough to find, especially on clearance. I usually get stuff around 70% off, else I'd not be able to afford dressing like I do (and I can't even really afford the clearance stuff now, heh). I mostly cobble the parts together, since I can only get pants online (sizing in stores is awful, and tailoring = $$).
Anyway. I do buy concert t-shirts to support artists.

Consider bow ties

Consider bow ties  Some guys look good in bow ties. Frank Lloyd Wright, Bill Nye, my Structures Professor, the guy playing the new Doctor. I am not one of them. Sky: Hm, I hadn't considered that aspect of the 3-piece. Time to find a vest for my suit. Sky: Have you looked at Men's Warehouse? They have sales pretty frequently around here and tailoring is included when you buy from them. Now, granted, the quality of said tailoring varies GREATLY from store to store* and the suits themselves aren't fantastic, but I figure it'll do in a pinch. *(The very first suit I owned from there lost its stitching within 6 months. They fixed it but I made sure to go to a different store.)

I'm sorry.
I am now affectionately referring to you as a "Glitter Bitch" just because I can and, well, you were stupid enough to be my failbook friend.
Also. About the Twin Cobras. Ladies like that. Add some dirt on your face, a cig, a busted up trailer and some beer.. and you got what's REAL attractive.
Much love.
