Hi guys! You know I love you, right? You know that I want you to look your best, right? Well, I do. Of course I do. To that end, here’s a Pro Tip for you:
When buying a new topcoat, it’s important to note that the sleeve tag and those pretty “X” stitches on the vents are not actually there for decoration. There’s a reason they’re easy to remove; it’s so they can be easily removed! The folks at the shop will gladly take the tags off for you and open all the vents; there’s usually a little seam-ripper tool located right by the register for exactly this purpose. It’s all so that you don’t go out in public looking like this gentleman I spotted on the Metro this morning:
We don't need to know that it's a Nautica
(This also applies to sport coats and suit jackets.)
And as a bonus, please make sure that your shoes and belt match. Brown <> Black. Seriously. Even I, a t-shirt and jeans girl if ever there was one, can match up shoes/bag/gloves appropriately.
That is all.
This is my favorite AC feature. You should come up and do a guest segment from NYC. Though, we don’t really bother with a D of BDM up here — it’s easier to pick out the few who are well-dressed. Not including the investment bankers, of course, who always look spiffy.
Well, it IS DC, where everyone THINKS everything they do is perfect and are shocked, SHOCKED to find out that their plan was somehow problematic. I’m just trying to help them out. It’s all from love!
Meanwhile, I’d LOVE to come up and guest BDM from NYC. Hmmm. I think we have arrangements to make.
Alternatively, you could guest WDM!
