Law Students

New Clothes

By Pete

The other day I lost a pair of pants. I am not kidding. It was, in fact, my only decent pair of Khakis — law school teaches you how to be professional, but they certainly don’t help you look the part. Because not having a pair of khakis serious impairs my ability to dress business casual five days a week without getting really, horribly repetitive, I had to go buy some new pants. Pants are easy to buy, and I got two pair — one pair in khaki, the other in charcoal. They fit well enough, although they could stand a half-inch taken off the length. I also picked up a new shirt because, hey! new clothes!

Apparently there are some women in my life who do not trust my judgment in this department (despite the fact that I have watched an awful lot of What Not To Wear), and photographs have been requested. Because I always do everything I’m told, I will oblige:

Next on the “things I need to buy” agenda is a pair of brown shoes to replace the current pair that has lasted almost 8 years. I’m pretty sure I wound up spending less than $10 a year on them.

Option 1:

Option 2:

…preference between the two? Suggestions for other shoes to consider?
