For some reason the double power outlet beside you made it so much greater for me

[MajesticMap]

Find myself wishing I could play an instrument...

It's a Yohji jacket:

I can't say that it's any reason specifically without feeling audacious, although the hate PM was definitely bullshit. Fuck that guy, WAYWT is a weirdly vulnerable place, not a place where we come to fulfill our narcissism but to share and inspire and in turn be inspired, we're doing our best. Anyone who feels compelled to unconstructively criticize without contributing is a coward. Do you hear me dude who attacked LOVE via PM? You're a pathetic, desperate sack of shit coward.

But I don't think a toxic environment is necessarily the cause. SZ was never a friendly place, it was elitist in the best way, the kinds of people whom one couldn't actually imagine being.

I think that is one possibility. For better or worse, SZ was filled with strong personalities. Strong personalities inevitably clash, but that's what it takes to have strong personal style. People always emphasize an understanding of fit, proportion, silhouette, fabrication, and overall aesthetics, and that's all necessary for a good fit but I think something more is required for great.

Like when I used to lurk, outside of WAYWT, I would read posts that humbled my intelligence. People here were both smarter and more stylish than me, and it was clear that I didn't have anything of value to add, so I didn't post, but in a good way. Posters were self-selecting. Anymore, people have to be told what to do, and I feel like myself or some other crazy idiot has to say something fucked up to get any sort of non-Geobasket conversation going.

Otherwise, I think people viewed clothing differently back then. I'm not sure how to articulate this point, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Go satisfy yourselves in any way you see fit.

And, LOVE, SZ has become much less toxic in the last years - you are obviously myopic. And it's those people you miss so much Dudley that made the environment toxic in the first place. SZ is much better off without them and many new posters have come in because it's less scary here.

LOVE, you got one negative comment, and terribly negative at that and you lost your shit. Whatever. Perhaps a little self-reflection is due on your part as well.

Bear is a handbag.

So nice Even the bear.

[timm3h]

I think the bear takes it from good to great. The big buttons on the jacket give me creepy doll vibes, and the bear only adds to that. I'd lose my shit if I ran into you on a moonlit road, or perhaps in an empty hotel hallway.

DudleyGray regardless of how tongue in cheek that may or may not be, I very much admire your commitment to your cause

[dduyyy]

voltbird thanks. Love both of your recent fits. The second one imo would be much better if added some accessories contrast to the clothing. Or even an instrument, as a accessory.

wow dudley how did I miss that, I wish I had a reason to do a video waywt, good shit.

[GlassOrganelle]

That coat is fantastic, Edward B.

It was fairly warm today so I tried to mash something appropriate together. I pinned the skirt into a dress, and the suspenders were borrowed from a pair of Yohji overalls that are unfortunately too short for someone of above average height.

/\ so nice! Deceptively simple.

Edward - excellent clean fit. I think it's your best one yet.

[cjbreed]

LOVE, you got one negative comment, and not terribly negative at that and you lost your shit. Whatever. Perhaps a little self-reflection is due on your part as well.

fixed that for you....


also for the record i'm not the one that supposedly sent a nasty pm to to poor fellow...

[Arkady]

I think maybe it was my deleted comment in question, but I didn't PM him either.
