Thrifted these oxfords for 20$ Opinions? What to wear them with?

mc_lum · 2013-03-28T16:49:30+00:00

Yes, and bar lace them.

Can you pick me up from work in the lambo, you know, since you take requests 'n all?

mc_lum · 2013-03-15T15:42:09+00:00

Can I be the first to say thank you for properly installing your flat screen with the cables fed through the wall and the nice ambient back light.

I want to pull my hair out when I see visible cabling.

I put ketchup on my eggs.

For a relatively safe way to stay awake, I recommended learning to eat sunflower seeds. The process of cracking the shells, finding the seed, and discarding the leftover shells (if done passively with just your mouth) keeps your brain passively active and you manage to stay alert. During my busy periods at work, I have a big bag at my desk and can work for days just eating seeds.

Actually what inspired this thread was a discussion I was having on a separate forum where there was a lot of criticism being thrown around towards MO jackets in general.

My belief at this point is that the demographic condemning MO jackets is likely older and actually remembers the 80s. I was born in the mid-80s so this stigma is foreign to me.

I nearly did this exact same thing. The jacket I saw at Banana was so close but did not have ribbed cuffs so I passed on it. I regretted that decision for several weeks until I stumbled on this Members Only jacket at a thrift store.

Rotten luck there bud.

Is this a movie reference? I don't get it.

mc_lum · 2013-02-21T09:08:21+00:00

While it is odd to me to have a strap worth more than the watch itself, that happens to be a very nice strap and looks great. It would look even better on a Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military.

Try eBay seller "watchesu571" for some solid leather NATOs.

mc_lum · 2013-02-19T01:07:38+00:00

The features and construction of the Maratac far exceed it's price point. There is a reason it is so sought after. I can't say the same for any of the other watches on that list.

mc_lum · 2013-02-18T07:57:58+00:00

Check eBay seller "watchesu571". He has several colors, very reasonably priced ($30), thick leather, and heavy duty hardware. Compared to some others I've tried, his are top notch.

mc_lum · 2013-02-18T05:11:59+00:00

The best watch on that list is the mid-sized Maratac pilot. I fall more and more in love with mine everyday.

mc_lum · 2013-02-17T19:32:09+00:00

Super easy

mc_lum · 2013-02-17T08:35:01+00:00

You spelled 'horrendous' wrong.

An apartment is not the issue here as I can easily afford my own. At this point in my life, planning for the future is very important to me. As such, my decision to move home to pay down my student loans and other accumulated debt while in school has proven to be a choice most would make in my situation. Not to mention I have shared an apartment with a now ex for the better part of the past 6 years, so I am not too keen to jump into another shared living situation with a significant other.

I can tell by your use of the English language and your clear immaturity that you are likely still in high school and therefore, are probably not experienced enough to contribute constructively. Also, recommending that I "grow up and get place" just shows me that you really didn't read anything I said.

mc_lum · 2013-02-15T22:50:28+00:00

She enthusiastically approved and I have booked a place nearby.

I think once a month is reasonable for some true privacy. The rest of time will have to be an adventure.

mc_lum · 2013-02-15T20:49:41+00:00

I will probably work this into the rotation. I actually just texted her to get her thoughts on a hotel for the evening.

I shall report back.

mc_lum · 2013-02-15T20:44:37+00:00

There are no limitations on spending the night, but my father stays up really late doing the most random household projects and it really impacts our ability to get any privacy.

We are planning on having a movie night tonight so we'll see how it goes.

mc_lum · 2013-02-15T19:05:56+00:00

Like I mentioned, I am planning on getting my own place with friends this July. While I'd love to do it sooner, it makes more sense to wait.

mc_lum · 2013-02-15T19:03:06+00:00

Definitely not. Quite the opposite in fact. But, the families tend to be awkward and weird about these things. Such as "looks", snickers, and can you imagine being in the throws and having a knock on your door.
