Next twenty year old family loving ex-punk in a bowtie that I meet, he's yours.<br /><br />I love seersucker, just don't own any. Nevr seems to turn up cheap.

Read all the way to December (bad-ass or bad employee?) and I relished every word.<br /><br />All I can say is, if you can find any 19 or 20 year olds who are basically you--penchant for dressing well, appreciation of Trad style, gets along well with kids, musically talented, loves jazz AND punk rock (full disclosure: I, too, am a former punk rocker, all cleaned up, but still love the sound of Minor Threat or Richard Hell... on vinyl of course), enjoys cooking and earnestly wishes he were born a few decades earlier--except younger and single, please give me a call.<br /><br />Wonderful blog, such a joy to read and follow, and so stylistically inspiring. Even though I'm a 19 year old girl who loves her sundresses, heels and pearls, few things are as fascinating to me as menswear. I probably know more rules of men's dress than I do of females. Alas.<br /><br />Can't wait to read more.<br /><br /><br />Also, what are your thoughts on seersucker? I haven't seen any on your blog.Nellienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-23400520401149312682009-07-29T12:25:42.812-07:002009-07-29T12:25:42.812-07:00Nice job.

In addition to Oxy-Clean (a laundry staple in my household, where it keeps the kid's clothes free of stains, to say nothing of my shirts), I use and recommend Bac-Out. Available at health food stores, it's great for spot cleaning. I take a wee vial with me thrifting. That way I can try it on a potential find, to make sure the stains will come out (or are at least likely to).Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-19181218921123370322009-07-27T08:53:20.115-07:002009-07-27T08:53:20.115-07:00G:
