Mistakes in Clothing

I just bought a green flannel shirt and I think it maybe the biggest mistake of 2010 and Swell/Esquire/GQ/and Chazzwazzer made me do it.

I'm not a flannel shirt guy.  I guess I had flannel at university but it was the lumberjack kind not the grunge kind.  So why did I buy a 2010 flannel?  Im not cool and hip.  I mean big guys should not wear flannel...purchasing this shirt was like buying a stripped shirt a few years ago trendy and awful.  But here I am buying flannel, what makes this worse, sad even, was when i was looking for flannel I actually went to Brooks Brothers first.  Go ahead and laugh ridiculous I know.  I ended up at Swell because I get 3 miles for every dollar purchase and bam the internet tubes produces a green flannel.

Im writing this because it is a blow to the psyche.  I want to be an individual but mass marketing easily Jedi mind tricked me the worst of the feeble minded.  I don't know why I'm alarmed by this I get tricked by product placement in the grocery store.  Here is a deep thought maybe by blending in more I have the anonymity which leads to freedom that allows me to be me.

You know what as I write and think Im just trying to get her to notice me in my new green flannel shirt.

I love flannel. It looks nice with a sweater over it. The colorful collar sticking out over a nice fuzzy sweater is the way to go. Unless it's a super thick fuzzy flannel.


What a weird word "flannel". Flannel rules. It makes you look manly, yet relaxed. You should wear a snuggie over it, then throw on a baja. Slip on some unlaced brown work boots with red striped sox. Then add really tight dark jeans with a rip over a knee. Cruise around while eating a bento box of sashimi. Guarantee chicks will notice you. But you may not get the results you want.

I hated bajas.

Oh God, subscribe to BRITISH GQ - please!

BTW, I love ties. Ties, ties, ties! I just love them with a nice Ike Behar shirt. Sometimes I think it's a shame that my company doesn't require suits...
