Pete gave me permission to be entirely self-indulgent, as long as it keeps me writing. He even gave me a topic to start with. Pete is wearing a yellow shirt today, that is my topic. I'm familiar with Pete's yellow shirt, it's one of the items of clothing that Pete worries he's not hip enough to wear. He also has a striped shirt that is very cool and Pete should wear it more often. Yellow isn't a colour I would necessarily have ever expected to see in a men's dress shirt, but it works or maybe Pete is so hip that he can pull it off. Men's clothes have become much more interesting, my Dad only wore white dress shirts and now he has a few other colours, but white dominates. My brother, who is pretty boring, was very happy with a maroon and navy striped shirt I bought him for Christmas. Remember when the only time you saw a guy in a collared shirt was at a wedding/funeral/or something fancy? I now regularly see my guy friends in nice shirts on a regular day, sometimes on weekends. This is much preferred to teenage boy fashion, which should really just be banned outright. Now that the dress shirts memo has been passed around we need more guys to understand that they are allowed more than two pairs of shoes.

I should never be allowed to dispense fashion advice, I wear black 85% of the time.
