Clothes blog

[louiselux]

One of my favourite places on the internets to go and stare at (clothed) people is The Sartorialist - amazingly dressed people on the streets.

I'm often surprised by how well people put clothes together in unexpected ways, and it really makes me consider how I could express myself more through my clothes. I consider-- and then I don't do much else. I suspect looking this chic and well turned out takes more time, effort, moeny and skill than I can give it. One thing about these pictures always strikes me: they always look so pleased to be photographed.

Also, I think I am developing a thing about men wearing dress shoes and no socks in that way that Italian men seem to pull off so well. Not like a major obsession or anything! I just like it for some reason.

ETA just some of my favourites so I don't forget

Squee! There is something exceedingly attractive about nice, bare feet combined with very formal clothing. But I notice Roger has the sense not to be wearing shoes. *ponder* I suppose really soft, good quality Italian leather shoes might not cause blistering ...

Nice feet are very, very nice, aren't they? Like nice hands.

No no, he has shoes! This is the picture that got me thinking about the whole shoes with no socks issue. They're nice dark ones that look like suede and are probably perfect for wearing with no socks.

I ttly agree, nice feet can be so beautiful, just as much as hands.

All I can see is a shapely naked ankle.

No, that wasn't a complaint. ;-)

Mmmm... shapely ankles. :D

He is wearing shoes though, if you focus beyond said shapely ankle to look at the foot behind.

*is footwear pedant*

Then I take it you have this book (http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Life-Foot-Shoe/dp/0894645730)? I have it somewhere about the house - bought partly because I thought it had been written by one of my Uni tutors.

Ooh, interesting! I haven't come across that before. Sex life... is it as kinky as it sounds?

[kispexi2.livejournal.com]

IIRC it's a pseud-academic work written by a true foot-fetishist. You can almost hear the salivating and heavy breathing. If I find it again, I'll post a few quotes.

The book materialized this morning. Okay, it was actually on the shelf next to my bed. No wonder I hadn't noticed it recently. Who the hell looks for a book on a bookshelf?

Anyway ... brace yourself!
