Style...A Work In Progress: “Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.”

Sometimes it seems like, if you're truly interested in fashion, you should abandon all sense of the practical...otherwise your common sense will continuously attempt to assert itself and will (sooner or later) drive you insane. Especially if you're faced with a $1,250 suede t-shirt. That's the moment that you question your sanity...because you know that summer is a time of sun tan lotion, salt water, and (I'm sorry, but I have to say it) sweat...and unless you're planning on spending the warmer months in an air-conditioned environment without food or beverages the chances of the shirt remaining in anything like pristine condition for longer than, say, five minutes are exceedingly slim.

Of course, despite all of the hazards my sensible Scottish soul can imagine, there's a good chunk of my mind filled with longing...but I'll rally round and attack any feelings of lust with the "imagine the damage a mis-managed ice cream cone could wreak" argument...
