I cant help it, I just like them. I dont know why, I just do......I cant decide if I should just send them back or not.

If you like them then rock them, don't let anyone sway your opinion be an individual!

i dont have any "dressing better" type shoes lol.. wore playoff 8s with it

info on the jacket?

it was usually around$149??.. was on sale at the gap for around 95.99 i think, and i convinced the employee that was working to give me her employee discount to make it $80.55 with tax lol

she lied to you bro. gap employee discount is 40%, but 20% is better than nothing

oh well, she got me...

but 20% discount>>no discount

I doubt she lied, Gap's discount is 50% on regular priced items and 10% on sale items (I should know since I work there)

Thing is, the jacket was already on sale I believe, its on sale in Philly for about $80

Went ahead and picked both these up from the levi's sale.. First "skinny" jeans I've ever purchased, to hopefully be paired withloafers/drivers/lace-ups/vans etc.. for a more fitted look.

either way dope pick-up on the jacket..

Old Navy is the place to go if you plan on depicting "the man" for some low and reasonable prices. they have nice stuff. just make sure you buy yourTRUE size or smaller cause their clothes fit big.

Mana-just curious, what's your obsession with boat/slip on shoes? Seems that all you post in here are them.

little history...

ever since I was a little kid, I was a huge MJ fan. Sometimes I got one pair a year at the most. When I got to high school and started working, I boughtJ's all the time.
As I got into college, I started thinking I looked lil ridiculous rocking $150 basketball sneakers. So I changed a little bit.

Im not really into boots, so drivers/boat shoes just seem to be the natural progression. I do like some of the "fashion sneakers" like some of theones posted in here.

My goal is to have footwear that I can wear alot and not have to worry about constant matching with shirts etc, like I did with bball shoes.

Im not happy with where my footwear is right now for the first time in my life

What do you guys think of this boot? They're kind of different but for some reason I like them. My only concern is their warmth and traction.

I higly suggest trying bucks or oxfords, just get one with a rubber sole and it'll be as comfortable. Trust me, a brown oxford/lace up is much moreversatile than drivers/boat shoes.

Think Outside The Cube
In an officescape defined by bland cubicles and by-the-book colleagues, you need to do more than just a good job to get noticed. You need to bring some life toyour business wardrobe.

1. Sport a Plaid Pocket Square
Where's it written that a pocket square has to be vanilla? Instead, try tucking a patterned handkerchief into your jacket. The whole office will takenotice (in a good way).

2. Discover Brown-the New Black
Wearing a black belt with black shoes is kind of like whispering; you'll never speak out of turn, but you'll never be heard, either. Now, a brown beltwith brown shoes? That's a statement-loud and proud.

3. Recharge Your Dress Shirts
A brightly colored shirt can work at the office-just make sure of a few things: Keep the collar traditional (think a semispread), put on a dark tie, and wear asimple suit. The bottom line: Let the color do all the talking.

4. Get a Handle on the Modern Briefcase
Clumsy and fogyish it ain't. Offered by everyone from Louis Vuitton to Banana Republic, the modern briefcase-in canvas or textured leather-makes a maturealternative to the messenger bag.

5. Get Some Hardware
Consider accessories that anchor your look with some heft: solid frames, sturdy cuff links, a slim steel watch. And no, you don't have to wear all three atthe same time.

6. Understand the Power of Three
Maybe you've never considered a three-piece suit, but just check out how sharp it looks-especially without the jacket. If you're sweating your wallet,don't: A three-piece suit often costs no more than a traditional suit.

Many brands make both shirts and ties like those. I got a similar blue shirt at Club Monoco this fall and I recently got a great solid black tie from the MarcJacobs store for only $48.

Looking to pick up a blazer but I can't for the life of me decide between gray or navy, with or without pinstripes (leaning towards without). Any opinions?

I noticed gray blazers tend to be paired usually with white or different shades of gray...not very versatile or am i wrong.
