“I am a major shoe queen.”

You wouldn’t necessarily expect that from a quote that has been attributed to Gov. Arnold Schwartzenegger, but there it is. A little honesty shows how much male fashion has changed. Not vanity, mind you, just a guy who appreciates that any outfit or look can be ruined by the wrong choice of footwear (think suits and sneakers together, unless you’re fighting cancer). Style is certainly subjective, however, and luckily the only person you have to please is yourself.
My purchases in this department had tended to be running shoes for most casual occasions, with white socks. *cringe* And you wouldn’t necessarily except much more from me – chemists are not known for their except fashion sense, like say, most of the rest of the educated world is. Now that I actually make a salary of sorts, I have the time and money to improve my shoe collection. Even though I didn’t go see Sex and the City, I wonder if subconciously I am channeling the same goals if not the same élan. To illustrate, I would like to take a moment to chronicle some of my fashion blunders. (in hindsight, I could have done worse.)
- White socks with loafers
- buzz cut
- dirty old tennis shoes
- pleated pants
- t-shirts with beer logos
- trucker hats
- tight tight jeans
- those really annoying shorts with little animals sewn in. glad I tossed that one!
Yeah. Ouch. Cleaning wardrobe shouldn’t be this hard. Gotta go shopping again sometime soon! Peace
