Neckties. They are cathartic. The thrill of purposefully placing a constricting barrier between my head and my vital organs each morning, just cinching down on the life-blood flow to my mind slightly, just to remove it as the day is over, exhilarates me! It is like the lion tamer who places his head in the mouth of a beast, just to pull it out when his act is done. Besides, paisley patterns are back in vogue and WAAAYY better than they were 20 years ago.
I had a favorite zipper hoodie that I completely wore out. The sleeve edges got all frayed and the elbows developed big holes in them. But I still haven't thrown it away because I love it so much. And I've never found one comfortable enough to replace it. I was supposed to bring it to the hospital as a comfort object when Kendra was born, but that didn't work out. Maybe with this next one...
As far as actual fall clothing goes, I mostly just like jackets and coats. I usually keep wearing my flipflops as an act of denial that summer is over.
Jackets jackets jackets. I don't know why, but I love them.

Sweater-vests, cummerbunds, leg warmers, and every other article of clothing that probably won't get mentioned here.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't say we actually had to wear the aforementioned articles of clothing, right?
You would wear it if you truly loved it. leg warmers! i need to get me some of those.
ReplyDeleteI love jackets too. Are you a cardigan man, joel? you seem like you would be.

Call me unfashionable, but I love hoodies. They make me happy, especially when they are zipper hoodies.
ReplyDeleteOnly if I currently have facial hair of some sort. And a bubble pipe.
