I hereby put a link to my successful clothes shopping trip here. I can't believe I got it all done in one fell swoop. The woman at the consignment store didn't know they even had some of the cool stuff I got. =D

It’s easy! You wear Banana Republic to your dot-com job during the week, and Gap
on weekends. :-)

Yeah, I have the same sort of shopping plan. Usually it’s blue jeans, a t-shirt, an unbuttoned button down, and some shoes. Typically the jeans are Levi’s 501s, the tshirt is of the random geek shirt variety (usually free; the price is right), the button down shirts tend to be “find one that’s made well, buy several in different colors or patterns”, the shoes are either Doc Martins or Converse All-Stars. Sometimes I wear my white Red Hat hat.

Simplicity rules :)

No wonder I didn’t know much about it. My usual clothing purchases involve finding one pair of pants that I like, and buying 3 pair. 6 for shirts, 6 for underwear, 6 for socks, 3 for bras. I guess I’m sort of predictable clothingwise, but it only takes me five minutes to get ready to go out. =)

Banana Republic is, in the true sense of irony, another one of The Gap, Inc.’s retail lines.

I’ve never been able to figure out the difference, personally. Some people apparently can. They both look incredibly trendy to me.

I am so hip I can't see over my pelvis. Well. Sort of. I do button up my shirts these days. But I like to keep things simple. Tshirt. Jeans. Maybe a shirt over that. Aside from the spike and chains and dangly bits. Doc Martens : Words cannot describe how much I fucking love these shoes. Once you work them in, the last forever. I've been wearing my pair for three years now. They're great. JNCO Jeans : One word. big pockets. I can carry just about anything in them. I have huge hands and they're hard to fit in any normal pockets. Not a problem. And secretly, I don't wear these because I'm trying to be hip and stylish with giant legged jeans, I just have huge legs. Really. Giant low back pockets as well so I don't actually sit on anything in them. I also have this bad habit of wearing totally ungoth things like hawaiian shirts and whatnot. As long as it's black or mostly black, I'll probably wear it. Honestly, I buy most of my button up shirts from target. The walmart with style. I need to go back there and get this silver studded belt I saw.

Hrm, interesting… here, Gap is considered to be sort of standard for little cut-out mid-late twentiesers who don’t want to rave but don’t know what else to do. I don’t really know what banana republic is.

Vancouver’s style revolve around the Neverending Hippie look, the Tilley Baby Boomers, the Expensive Sweats Soccer Moms, the Suits, the Well Groomed Gentlemen (gay or not), the Well Groomed Women in Flannel (gay or not) and of course, the people who are just allll over the place. I think I fall into that category myself. =) I just don’t know what to wear anymore. Part of that revolves around the weather here though — -15C in the morning, +20 in the afternoon. No idea what to do in the meantime, unless you dress like an Urban Hiker and do the ridiculous layers of exercise stuff. Which is pretty dumbass, since I’m not an exercise fiend. Sigh.

Could be worse, could be limited to buying baseball shirts & levi’s 501s, sir. ;)
