Rockin' the pink
On my first two days I wore collared shirts, one button down and the other a polo style. Apparently I was not in the required dress code. My manager told me that I had to wear a shirt and tie but it was no big deal since I didn't go to orientation and no one told me the first day I was there. Basically, since the president of the bank has an office in my building the rule is that men must wear a shirt and tie. My first instinct is to bust out with the Mormon look, white, short sleeve shirt with the black tie, just to mock the dress code. I have a little more respect for myself and the position so I'm gonna play the part and pull a VirtualErn. I went out and bought about 5 different ties, and four different shirts. And with the advice of Ask Randy, I went out and bought a pink shirt and a pink tie to match. We'll see how it goes because since I didn't ask the Queer Eye's to take a gander at me as I kinda did it on instinct. I think I did ok, but the metrosexual in me is still not as satisfied. I also got some nice green combinations but I'd like to get a pair of some light grey front-flat slacks to go with some of the lighter color shirts. I really like the ties I got though. (No, you have not been linked to a Ms. Luzon blog.) I just need to pickup some sweater vests to complete the outfits since I'm not wearing a sport coat. Ok UPSer, go ahead and add your smart comments, I deserve them.

Flat front grey pants? Now you're talkin'! The trippy thing is when you get a shirt at Banana, they got metal inserts for the button down collared shirts. I couldn't get over that one.
oh my god. that's so funny how you wrote that whole thing with a straight face! (and i just cracked up when i read the Ms. Luzon reference!)
but ya know, i understand respect for yourself and for the position. man, we are growing up aren't we?
congratulations!
haha..throw in some purse references and then you've got it :)
not gonna say a word (just gonna sit here and shake my head like I always do)
well, it's about TIME! hehe...and, yes, John i still wanna see the outfits...
I think you've just got to get your own "man's bag" to complete the look. =)
that's hot....flat front grey...now you're talking.
i'm also feeling a tweedy tanish pant...that also works. but i know you live in the bahamas (i.e. it's hot over there).
as for man bags, or as i call them, european carryalls, take a look at www.jackspade.com -- he has fabulous stuff.
Let me guess, you got a pink pocket square too so you can complete your outfit huh
i feel like shopping now. ;P
