Tonight, I update my "look"

I've always been immune to fashion. As in, it never really bothered me because I'm naturally resistant to it, like that guy who never gets the common cold, or Bruce Willis is immune to bullets: the changes in the fashion world have no bearing on me and my New Balance tennies and flannel shirts.

The Look I was going for...

The Look I was actually probably pulling off.

I didn't care... until I got a job, that is.

So now, I have to look professional. I do okay: khakis, button-up shirts, black shoes (still New Balance, but all black so they don't look too out of place), but I still feel like I'm doing it wrong. Then, for Christmas, my mom and sister go out and get me some shirts and ties that match... and look really good on me. Like, seriously. Purple is not a color I ever thought I'd wear, but I pull it off pretty well.

Pretty much.

So, in an effort to take advantage of all the Memorial Day sales, I'm taking my sister (decidedly more sensitive to the tides of fashion than I) to J.C. Penney (baby steps, people; I'm not about to blow $150 on a pair of jeans at AE or wherever you kids go today) and we're gonna get me some more snazzy-wear. I'm thinking I might even buy a suit.

Hoping for this...

... but I'll settle for this.

We'll see how it goes.
