Ohmygod, you and I *have* to go to one of the stores we went to to-day. It was the single largest collection of secondhand men's clothing I have ever seen in my entire life. We're talking a space the size of...hm...first floor of the garment district, and all men's stuff AND it's literally around the corner from another brilliant store.
You know, on a hypothetical where we're both in Chicago or something, which, considering I don't honestly expect to spend too much time up here is unlikely, but wevs.
Atanyrate.
Vests are so awesome. I love every single one I have, at least in part because they more or less actually really truly fit me.
I'm glad I look good in black or at least partial. I agree on the all black being harder than one black --again, definitely trying to add colour to my gothing out. You look good in black too, although it probably helps the vampire thing.
Oh sure, there are less and more good purples. But I run into very nice deep ones every second or third thrift store trip, usually in shirts that I otherwise can't justify. I have made it a point to own a dark purple silk shirt for several years now though --they pair beautifully with my grey flannel.
I feel you do or ought to look good in army red, or at least spots of it. Boy scout sock red? Does that make sense to you? Fah.
Yay trenchcoats! Almost bought an army jacket today, but it was 40 bucks, and for too big, I couldn't justify it.
(Now, a blue Eisenhower jacket that fit almost perfectly, and was only two dollars? So mine. Instantly.)
