With GF's initial suggestions and a subscription to GQ, (to help out some kid who came to the door selling magazines) I have turned into a something of a clothing shapeshifter in the last couple years.
Today I left for work wearing baggy jeans, tennis shoes, and untucked button down shirt sticking out from under a pullover sweater. I decided to wear my hair down flat with a little flip in front going left to right. GF just laughed at me. Super casual. Really, I just didn't feeling like ironing a shirt today. Of course I got a few comments at work. But I will get more, I know.
Now that the weather is changing I get to pull out some jackets. I will be pulling off my black leather Harley Davidson jacket with the large skull on the back exposing my well defined muscles and multitude of tattoos. The hair will be punked up into a spikey look and I may wear the dangling lightning bolt earring on the right ear. The two hoops always stay in the left ear. I probably will be wearing black boot cut jeans with small tears in them along with my Mark Nason black leather boots with the large dragon emblem embossed on the toes.
What next? Hmmm, I really love my GQ look. The pullover Armani sweater with the metal clasp over a plain white tee. The skinny black straight legged low rise distressed jeans that show off my Calvin's when I bend over. Hmmm, do I wear the thick brown belt with my two-toned brown Gianfranco Ferre Italian boots or the brown Mark Nason leather slip ons that also have a dragon emblem on the toes? I think I will mess my hair up just a bit on top and then flip up the short bangs for that boyish appearance.
Decisions, decisions.
With the hot weather over I will hafta put away the low-cut white Nikes and Reeboks with the long baggy basketball shorts and the ultra tight Under Armor sleeveless workout shirt for the weekends and find something else. Excuse me while I look in the closet.
GF just shakes her head nowadays. When she met me I was wearing plain straight cut Levi's with tennis shoes and polo shirts. EVERYDAY. Now she calls me a "clothes hanger" and laughs when I stand in front of the mirror telling her how hot I am. Well I am! lol And no matter what I wear, with my height, slim waist and broad shoulders, I throw people off when I step out of that Mercedes as they try to figure out what ball team I play for or what band I'm in.
You would think I could find other ways to amuse myself wouldn't you?

Oh, Lord, what set you off this evening! You really are too much, you know that, don't you? And I love you, my friend, because you do know how to make my day/evening whatever! Go play in the full moon in whatever pair of jeans suits the occasion, give GF a big hug for me!
mwahhh! that's the Indian word for kiss, say it and you'll see why!
Have a great night!
the Diva!
I like the shirt hanging out of the sweater look. It sounds like you primp yourself more than the girlfriend these days! No wonder she's shaking her head!
When are you planning to go on America's Next Hot Model?
LOVE it!! Looking awesome makes one feel the same way. Keep on with your bad self LOL! GF might laugh at you but she secretly appreciates it. Funny how we grow in love. :) Awesome post!!
That's awesome! My husband recently became a mid-life, born-again clothes horse. Just last night, he was telling me about all the stores he wants to go to in LA when we head down to Palm Springs next month! He's a sexy sweater man in my eyes. - G
I felt the urge to cry out "You Go Girl!" but that would be a tad much, no?
Glad you are finding some great new clothes, hope your girlfriend likes all of your new fashion pointers! ;) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Miles, There is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy taking an interest in his appearance. I just don't want to fight over the mirror in the morning. Mr. gaf wears a tie nearly everyday to work and hogs the mirror while I'm trying to add my jewelry to my ensemble. If I could only get him to wear a pair of nice fitting jeans instead of Levi relaxed fit on weekends. I guess I should be content that he cares if his clothes match. I make sure they do!
I do believe you could be related to my husband. Except he drives a truck now. A big truck.
You know I can 'see' this. I have kids that do this! You make me laugh! There's a kacklin award for you over at my place.
Would you please ask GF to come to Maine since all I own is LL Bean? I'll buy the lobster dinner.
