And I'm not knocking Kohl's at all. I can't wait until they open in Williamsport

 

Cue MTS.

Facial moisturizers?  The hell?!?

 

I guess it's true: Black Don't Crack.

 

AMEN AMEN!!!

If I had the money for nicer clothes, I'd wear them more often haha.  I have an Express eye with a Kohl's budget.  (And I'm not knocking Kohl's at all. I can't wait until they open in Williamsport)  I am a jeans and t-shirt guy, but I do like dressing nice a lot.  Am I "metro?"  I don't think so, I just like to wear nice clothes sometimes. 

 

What's wrong with those places? Kohl's always has good prices on shoes and Express jeans fit like a dream!

I've always had the feeling that Kohl's stocks things that are overstocks or flawed slightly somehow from the manufacturer.  I don't know why I think that, but I do.

 

I had to shop there for stuff off a bridal registry last year and it was about the worst shopping experience I've had in a long time.  Horribly disorganized, nothing on the shelf that was listed as being in stock, no associates anywhere on the floor to assist you, long, dreary check-out lines staffed by teenagers complaining about hangovers, when lunch break is, and when their shift ends. 

Don't listen to Daffy's...err...MyTwoSense.  Ain't anythin' wrong with Kohl's!

What's the matter with K-mart?

Maybe I'm jaded because I grew up shopping at quality department stores like Halle's and Higbee's!

I am definitely NOT a metrosexual.  I take the slacks off as soon as I can.  Jeans and t-shirt kind of guy..... and definitely not the skinny jeans or any t-shirts with sequence on them.  In fact, my wife brought me back this really nice diamond-cut silver necklace from Mexico and I'm a little uneasy wearing it..... as it makes me look like a metrosexual from the Jersey Shore.

 

Not to change the subject, but when your wife does something like that, do you take it as a hint?  One time my wife brought back a pair of "trendy" jeans from Old Navy.  I think I'm like you, target or kohls brand jeans, and a t-shirt.  When she brought that back, I was kind of like, OK, you want me to look a little hipper.  It's kind of like buying your wife hot pants and asking if she wants to go to a club tonight.  

 

Well... it wasn't totally unexpected.  She asked if I would want something silver since it is so cheap down there and pretty much all I wear is silver, white gold or platinum.  I just don't own any necklaces and this one is a little 'blingy' for my tastes I think.

 

That said, my wife buys most of my clothes and knows my tastes.  She does a really good job.  Soft, tagless t-shirts are always a hit with me, so I am easy to shop for.  Besides, I highly doubt my wife would let me leave the house looking 'metro'.... she's always picking on my brother for it and I wouldn't even call him 'metro'... just overly trendy.

You mean places that are defunct and turned to Dillard's?  Nothing says "quality" like shopping next to a Houlihan's!

We all grew up shopping at Higbee's.  I don't think that's why you still like to shop at pricier places.  I just know I can dress for success and spend less money elsewhere, and the average Jill or Joe can't tell. 

The average Joe can't.... but the average Jill can.

True but not every Higbee's was created equal.  Downtown, Severence and Beechwood carried items you couldn't get at the other stores.

 

I like to shop at stores, that have excellent service and goods that I know the masses wont buy.  I like buying clothes that I know not many others will have.

 

I've been a shopaholic for over 30 years.  I know what I like and trying to find the designers I like at a Macy's, Express, Kohl's, Zara, H&M etc., is out of the question.

Not everyone can afford to only by clothes by the designers they like.

    That is tragic!

 

 

I'll bet you can't get this at any of those uppity stores!

 

I like slacks that flatter my gunt.

That's awesome but for some reason it reminds me of Rocky Horror. It must be the lips...EDIT: It is totally the lips with the teeth, reminds me of the poster and the opening credits...

Get to NYC in January and July.  Saks and Bergdorff's make Walmart look expensive.

I'm broke too lol

 

Am I the only one who can find really nice stuff in style at thrift stores?  :? I don't mind wearing used clothes as long as they're not faded or stained, etc. Hell, I got a Christian Dior sweater for 3 bucks. A lot of the people who price the stuff have no idea what they're doing.

 

Plus, with the internet you can always find good deals on new clothes. Online retailers have practically no overhead compared to a retail store.

Thrift stores are a God send, yet you need to know WHICH stores to patronize.

 

Consignment stores are where it's at these days.

Oh definitely. I even know the days that the best stores put out new stuff. That's the only time to go, really. I'm pissed that people post online reviews for these places; I don't want other people to know where the good stuff is.

You and me both!  Thats why I can't stand these half assed dumpster divers or amateur flea market shoppers!

They have no respect for the game lol

 

You ever go to thrift stores or garage sales and instantly notice the other people that are just as attuned as you are? Isn't that weird? I was in a thrift store this one day. I think that was the day I bought Vanity Fair, it was a first edition that I bought for 2 bucks and ended up selling for 30. I could tell by the way this other guy was looking at stuff he must be a collector of some sort. I started talking to him and we ended up sharing trade secrets. That was the only time I broke the social contract. I gave him tips for spotting old and first edition books and he showed me what he looks for in antique lamps; he said vintage lamps are really hot right now but I have no interest in buying them to flip because if you can't sell something for profit, you're stuck with it so you better buy what you like.

 

What sucks about searching for clothes is that you can spend f-ing hours sifting through stuff.

That is exactly why I dont tell people when or where is shop or dumpster dive.  Not even family!  These secrets will go to the grave with me.

Do they still have metrosexuals?    Seems like with the recession there are going to be new lifestyle types out there. 

 

Having been in New England now, I can attest to the "Yankneck" thing.  Redneck Yankees.

And that yankneck thing DOES sound scary haha.

"Glitzy" house music!  God, thats rolls of the tongue and says "Gay"!

 

Please don't say that while in the company of other men - straight or gay!

 

Right now I'm giving you the Wendy Williams "How you doin' look?"

Lmao!

Don't tell me straight men can't like glitzy house music!  That's what it is.  Just look at KASKADE's Dance.Love album cover and you'll see what I'm talkin' about!

A "little"?  WTF?

 

If you put on an old school house song in one room and some new fangled craptastic "house" music in another, I gaurante, old school would win!

 

To your battle stations bitches!  Bring it!

 

"If you put on an old school house song in one room and some new fangled craptastic "house" music in another, I gaurante, old school would win!"

 

Sigh... maybe new school would at least use spellcheck. Honestly, the good stuff is good whether it's old or new.
