"I'm a little screwed up but I'm beautiful.": A Life and Style in Pictures (Pt. I)

**Jackjo** · 08-03-2008, 12:28 AM

Nice write up.

Here's how I roll.

Suit with the gen PO. Not an Armani. Not a Patek.

**Pugwash** · 08-03-2008, 12:29 AM

Suits with brands? How quaint. Just go to Asia and get a tailor to hand-make you a bespoke suit.

**Jackjo** · 08-03-2008, 12:34 AM

I never pay more than $300 for a suit and usually less than $200. Seems silly to me.

I do spend some money on shoes though. Did I mention watches too?

**Posh** · 08-03-2008, 12:42 AM

Jack, I like the look overall. I definitely see where you were going with it.

The shirt is a little . . . Gotti-ish. It may fly in North Dakota though. A few questions about that shirt, that sheen . . . Um, is the shirt a polished cotton, silk or a synthetic/natural fiber blend? Also, is that suit a windowpane pattern as well?

That shirt also looks like it may in fact be too long for you. Get it tailored to your frame as soon as possible. Depending on which wrist you wear your watch, get the shirt sleeve shortened on that side on that side so the watch peeks out.

As you can clearly see,i'm with the FBI.....getting to the 'inside' of this watch bit.....

And you guys thought i was one of those silly 'Canucks'.....

Posh, you're awesome. What else can I say?

Me and CTJoyce on my wedding day last year. He was (and is) my best man.

**Dave123** · 08-03-2008, 01:26 AM

You and the wife look great....prefer blonds?...

**Jackjo** · 08-03-2008, 01:28 AM

Actually this pic is from a year ago. I don't really wear this combo anymore. And yes the suit is a very faint windowpane and the shirt is polished cotton. The shirt is too long so very good eye. You know your stuff.

Maybe Posh should have her own fashion section to give us lumps advice on our wardrobes?

OH, GOOD! Please continue not wearing this. Windowpane on windowpane? Oh, no. A shirt with a sheen like this doesn't need a pattern, especially if your suit already has one. OVERKILL!

I'm here for the replica boys so you guys look like you actually can afford the thousands of dollars of watches you wear everyday.

**DeepSeaMaster** · 08-03-2008, 08:25 AM

Posh, you like victoria beckham, well cut suits, polo, and now i see the Ting Tings, you really need to come over to England.

Have to say I agree, if your wearing a $10,000 watch, wearing a $50 suit with it looks crazy.

Buy a kilgour suit (worn by Fred Estair, Jude Law, Cary Grant, Matthew Walliams, and, well, me) with a clean white shirt, and a beautiful tie. Oh and well made shoes (I like cheaneys and paul smith).

**Kollektor** · 08-03-2008, 08:51 AM

Well done! Kudos!

**Ximenes** · 08-03-2008, 09:59 AM

Great post!

Xim knows nothing about dress style. Hell, he don't care.

But Xim knows about bullitt, and Steve's bullitt mustang is style...

Xims Stang: 67 GT, 428, Toploader, Detroit Locker.... All the style you need... Long Time!!!

yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah!

Damn Xi!! That Pony is hawt!

Dimer, you kind remind me of a Steve McQueen wannabe but not in a bad way. I think you kinda channel him a little bit. Get a pair of those McQueen Heuer Dsquared jeans. You'd look great!

DSM . . .

You're not adorable
I want something unignorable.

Now shut up and let me go!

I'll take that as a compliment

I just found a pic of my in a tux

This was at a highschool's prom (a loong time ago

**Posh** · 08-03-2008, 12:25 PM

What?

Fashion police. You're under arrest. Sneakers with a tux. This in violation of the Puff Daddy statute. Only obnoxious rappers, Hollywood mini-stars and children are allowed to wear sneakers with formal wear.

I sentence you to a fate worse than death: you must wear a Timex and sandals with socks for a year.
