For some reason, I've gotten LOADS of compliments, from both men and women, about my glasses.

Re: Style
Both Uncle Al and Mouse show that the visual aesthetics of having half patterned and the other half plain is the optimum as it draws the attention to the patterned item, if the whole outfit was patterned then some of the attention would be lost. While in general this is true, I have seen examples o...

This is terrible news - I still am in disbelief and shock. He always had an encouraging word, and for that I’m grateful!

Re: Does anyone assume you are transgender?
The only people who consistently "misgender" me are the clerks at the Whole Foods Amazon return desk. I was just there the other day and the person helping me kept m'am-ing me. The situation was a bit awkward (people all around, very busy) so I didn't want to raise a fuss but in the past h...

Re: Buying from Ebay USA when based in the UK
Buying anything from overseas to the US seems to include a $25 shipping charge at a minimum, not including tariffs. I recently got a skirt from vinted that was UK-originated. The price was too good to pass up. Maybe I'm a contrarian, but US styles are dreadful. Oh, there are a few US companies I am ...

Re: Brogue Shoes
I would suggest keeping them and wearing with the skirts. The boots often strike me as being too 'heavy' with a skirt. I'm really leaning towards keeping them - I've not been happy pairing boots with longer skirts, and these will be a good option. I do think my boots work OK with upper calf-length ...

Re: White Stuff skirts
I now have a few White Stuff cord skirts and they definitely tick most boxes of a skirt for men. Nice sturdy cord, knee length and pockets actually comparable to mens trousers. Only issue is sizing as they always come up big, size down. Seasalt is another similar brand. I have skirts from both bran...

Brogue Shoes
Got a dilemma. Had a good discount code from Celtic & Co and ordered a pair of shoes. Need to either return these or keep them. I only have a few days left before I can no longer do a return. I like how they look with longer skirts (mid to maxi length) - but I don't know if they are something I ...

Re: jury duty
I do agree that not being a distraction could be an important element. It is worth noting that on most jury trials the attorneys have the opportunity to question and excuse a candidate without citing a reason. (In fact, this might be useful to Coder if he would really NOT like to be on call for dut...

Re: jury duty
As I had said - I went in jeans. Fortunately, my number wasn't called and I never had to leave the waiting room. I'll be honest - it may be a civic duty - but I'm just not cut out to be a juror. As for other people in the room - all decked out in variations of normal. I'm also 100% sure had I worn a...

Re: jury duty
Mr Coder my number one advice would be just contact the court and inform them your prefer attire isn't a pair of pants and don't keep it a secret from the court. If you don't tell the court it can be used against you for having a secret agenda and can be jailed for it. Unfortunately you will draw s...

Re: jury duty
Old thread - but I got called for Jury Duty service and wondered if there had been discussion on this one before. The court has this language on their website: "Please wear clothing that is conservative, clean and comfortable. Shorts, tank tops and bare midriffs are not appropriate." Which...

Any pattern suggestions?
I plan on making this skirt with some denim/canvas material for the summer: https://hartsfabric.com/tilly-and-the-buttons-ramona-skirt.html But I just picked up a couple of yards of silk (Dupioni Silk) in a mustard/gold and a striped teal/gold. Both are amazing, and I need an appropriate pattern. Th...
