Dressing Fabulously While Poor

“I don’t have enough money” is the most pathetic excuse I hear from people looking to dress better.   You would think that folks have never heard of a clearance, don’t go to Gilt.com, or have never been to Loehmann’s/Filene’s Basement/Daffy’s/Marshall’s (if you’re NYC, sample sale heaven, I will slap you extra hard if you complain).  For some of my fellow poors, these havens of barginitude may not be cheap enough and for you all, let me suggest shopping at thrift stores.

Our football team was on a rampage – by the Yale game, they were 7-1 and had edged out previously undefeated Harvard a few weeks earlier.

How to Dress When Meeting the Girlfriend’s Parents

I’m about to spill a lot ink giving suggestions on how to dress for your first meeting with your girlfriend’s parents. You can ignore everything I will say, if you follow these two rules.

  1. Assess what she is wearing…and go a notch above.
  2. Tailor everything.  Everything.

If you are a fellow homodeviant, these rules apply to you too.  The female pronouns just make my job (haha) easier. Continue reading
