Yep, yours truly is now a proud J.Press Patchwork Scarf owner. One caveat: those tassels down at the ends--total shite. I thought my scarf was shedding strings nonstop until I finally realized the knots they were tied in weren't glued or in any way secured, just coming undone as they please. Of course, I'm none too pleased about that, but it's a small hiccup for the great perk of looking fly like the motherChucker himself.
I also ordered the cricket sweater from the last post for Christmas...only to have FedEx fail me by leaving it at the door of my apartment, resulting in its disappearance and a month-long game of tag with FedEx and RL Rugby reps trying to get my money back. As for the Chesterfield coat thing...I decided my two coats from Topman was enough. Maybe another season.
Got most of my tailoring back too...so between here and May it's all about paying off those holiday CC bills...yikes. Apart from that...new roommate, new classes (all Haas...hopefully...no more dancing around semiotics and feminist cultural critiques...), and new focus. Can't complain.
Though my navy blazer's still being worked on, it looks like it's headed for heavy rotation in my wardrobe this spring. RL's S/S show was all back to preppy staples...and for a style rooted in classics, that can only mean one thing:Lots. and lots. of navy.
This was pretty much the theme for the whole show: navy on the outside, some variation of white with red/blue detailing on the inside. I highly doubt that jacket/sweater vest/shirt combo would function well here on the West Coast though...another reason to value these last couple months of winter chills.
Now, back to marketing/int'l business homework.
