Personally, I think white denim is acceptable all year round; but I think a slimmer fitting off-white, or wheat wash is best. I feel as if you were getting dressed and half way through you changed your mind.<br /><br />Regardless of my opinion on this particular post, I greatly respect and appreciate what you are doing.

You can see the stats that show how popular this blog is; you even have external validation in the form of other blogs' links, the overwhelmingly positive comments, the friends you've made via your corner of the Internet, and even being named <a href="http://www.styleite.com/media/best-menswear-bloggers-guide/2/" rel="nofollow">one of the best menswear bloggers</a>. <br /><br />Let the nay-sayers and nanny goats bleat all they want: you're the man.

I love a good tweed blazer, but mixing it with the yellow square, blue ox, and driving cap? A bit on the absurd side to me.

I think that guy may have invented "the crack".<br /><br />Theo,<br /><br />It's less of an apology and more of a way to cut those guys off at the pass before my comments page becomes an orgy of wailing and gnashing of teeth over all of the "rules"that have been broken.

I'll grant the point that blogs are about vanity, but you still control the keyboard. Most of your "rig" commentaries contain at least one self-congratulatory remark ("it's the jam, no"). You write these comments; they do not appear via some deus ex machina from blog Olympus. There are other blogs out there whose authors let the clothes speak for themselves...as posters do on AAWAWT, a web institution that it clearly vanity-driven.<br /><br />I happen to be a huge fan of Patrick Sullivan (Coiled Pleasures), whose example actually started me thrifting. In my view, he "falls in the crack" every time out.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-57926264035952685442010-04-11T00:50:55.663-07:002010-04-11T00:50:55.663-07:00Lovely outfit.
