Style, by Tom

Hi! I'm Tom, and I'm an electrical engineer. I'll share my style, essential tips, and you make it your own. Here's my take on fashion and how it relates to life. Fashion is so great and I love it. Most people are too stupid to buy nice things, so I show you how to. (I post most of my entries as they happen via my iPhone, making it difficult to always have perfect grammar and spelling for several reasons. Also, like most people in my generation, I rely on Spell Check LOL. I can't spell for shit. If you can't tolerate that, my apologies.) To learn more about me, visit stylebytom . Anything you want to know...email me your questions at stylebytom@aol.com.

It may not be “gay” to be dressed to a T (whatever that means) but people may still think you’re gay anyway. If you want to look like the jam and also look heterosexual, dress like me. I know what I’m doing and I would never lead my flock astray. The guy in the picture doesn’t really look gay, but he does look like a drug dealer or a terrorist (the type that funds attacks but doesn’t carry them out). Or he might be a gay drug dealer or gay terrorist—you just never know these days. maryrambin: THE MALE T Men, it’s not “gay” to be dressed to a T.  Knowing how to dress doesn’t make you metro either (although if you are metro, you’re better off).  Putting together a classic outfit that embraces trend make you not only chic, but f-ing sexy.  Just ask Gabriel Aubrey (Halle Berry’s husband).

I have a ninja suit too, but you’d never be able to photograph me in it because if you saw me it would only be for a split second (ninjas are assassins—not saying I am, not saying I’m not). maryrambin: “People often leave comments saying something like “this look isn’t new or directional”Looking “new” or “directional” is of very little importance to most of us. I don’t think I would ever describe Darcy as “directional” and yet I know a lot of women that would love to have the kind of quiet chic that she embodies.” —The Sartorialist (One of my favorite blogs.)

Did anyone in the restaurant clap after you sang happy birthday or could they tell you were just being disruptive? maryrambin: If you’re looking for something tasty, but don’t feel like getting “gussied up” and sitting next to a wall street sales meeting…there are actually hundreds of places to go in NYC. Haha. The Smith is one of them.  Delicious fare and casual dining combined with really bad service makes it a good New York dining experience. When foodies are your supper company, you know it’s above average if they are smiling.  As always, I’m interested in the dessert menu, which I would describe as fun.  We opted for Birthday cake and sang the song for the hell of it.

LIFE'S LITTLE SURPRISES

Which brand? Mossimo?

maryrambin:

There are goals in life you can write down and work diligently to achieve. Then you have the satisfaction of checking it off and giving yourself a little pat on the back.  You did it! These benchmarks are integral in your perception of success.

But sometimes it’s the respect you garner from your peers that means the most. 

Today, a highly respected figure in the fashion industry called seeking insight into his new collection of accessories…and ME. He wants me to spearhead the project. Holy cow!  I’m still in shock…and honored to say the least. But definitely smiling.

“The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” Meghan Asha, cofounder of Nonsociety.com

I don’t use the F-word in my blog because I respect my family and other less vulgar readers. Cursing like an Alaskan crab fisherman is about as stylish as an Alaskan crab fisherman (which varies).
