I'm not sure exactly where. But yeah, it's being tailored oversees.

I'm looking forward to it. They're going to show me fabrics and we have to choose linings and all that. It will even include a monogram pocket, so nobody will be able to steal my jacket.

does anybody have info on clothes buying trips? like i've heard you can have custom leatherwear made for a great price in italy and india seems like it might be a good source for a silk suit. i'd like to pick up my favourite fabrics and bring them to a french tailor. it sounds outlandish but really not so strange or expensive worked it into vacation time/research expeditions. while in the dominican republic i was tempted to take a 3-hour taxi away from the resort to visit the largest slave trading post and market on the island for crafting materials/voodoo bead buying but didn't feel like my spanish was strong enough. never thought to hire a translator and guide! that'll learn me.

I don't know, but I'm sure you could pretty much fund a vacation via the savings if you're clever.

Although my plan of outsourcing most of the parts and labour while staying home is likely cheaper than flying to India or Italy.

you've got to be there in person to haggle. if it's only for one suit you might be right but you don't get personal fittings then either.

I want a suit with an incredibly flashy lining.  Skulls would be cool.

Hong Kong has tons of tailors who can turn things around crazy fast, I hear.

i've heard you can camp out right on the great wall of china if you hike up at a particular spot, plus they bring you dinner and tea. it costs a third of what it would through a booking agent if you go up in person. i moan about things made in china but would sort out a team of chinese workers if i had to. i'd just prefer to support just about any other workforce.

Now, there's an offer I will be politely declining.

wow. ok. well.

I'm wearing torn up jeans, waterproof columbia boots, cobalt blue v neck shirt, and a bright red pullover windbreaker with a zipper pocket in the front and the little air flap in the back. On the back it says ORENDA I think? in white and on the front it has these little white designs going across the chest. It's pretty awesome. Some bike guy let me borrow it a couple years ago and I just never gave it back and we don't hang out anymore.

I bought a cute gray cashmere sweater on clearance at Winners (Canadian TJ Max).  $23! Cashmere! I am wearing it today.

Its a beautiful hot day out! So I am wearing denim leopard-print shorts and a cute black scoop-neck short-sleeved top. But my living room is always freezing! So I am also wearing a goosedown white snow jacket and a blanket over my knees right now.

I saw a girl today whose purple hair-tie matched her purple sneakers and I fell in love a little bit.

But I got a new jacket! on sale... It's kind of like a windbreaker I guess, but it has good lines, it reminds me of japan in 1964

Quickly googled "Japan in 1964" and was pleased with the results. Can we talk more about Japan in 1964 plz???

You guys like fast trains and material plenty?

i just bought pants on the internet.  i hope they fit.

my grandmother gave me money.  like a lot of money.  and i'm spending some of it on clothes and feel wildly guilty for it.  But i needed pants man.  and they were on sale.  

AND i had to use my birthday money and christmas money to pay my rent in january, which is basically where alllll my clothes budget for the year comes from. now i just need shoes and a bra.

On topic:

I took a picture, 'cause I'm bored as hell. 



Also, tired as hell. I gotta get them bags out from under my eyes.  What do I need, witch hazel and concealer or something?

I believe that men's concealer is referred to by the term camouflage, also known as "camo."
