My Vote

As we established yesterday, a guy lathering up with a brush and shaving with a straight razor (especially if he exercises his right to vote afterwards) = hot. Conversely, a guy who cannot dress himself = antithesis of hot.

It's not about wearing designer duds, mind you...in fact, trying too hard to look good can be just as much of a turn off. I'm talking about things like pleated pants (you really want to accentuate the size of your bladder?), XXL shirts on not XXL bodies (we can still see the belly), sweatpants (unless you're doing something that actually makes you sweat), all-denim ensembles (why??), shiny "nightclub" shirts, mesh anything, muscle tees, long socks with shorts, any form of socks with sandals.

Seriously, no matter how nice or smart or innately handsome you might be, if you show up in a conventionally grown cotton Bon Jovi half-shirt for dinner out (or even in), ain't no one gonna swoon.

Stylish, organic clothes that actually fit on the other hand...

I'm all for organic...too bad organic clothes are outrageously expensive. :O(

I wasnt aware that "going green" with your clothing meant that you were going to say goodbye to all that green money. Those prices are insane!

I don't know about you, but I can't afford a Henley shirt that costs $298 or even one for $140. I think at those prices, we are missing the point. Take a look at how long you would have to work or where you would have to work to afford those prices. I'll buy my shirts second-hand and spend that time reading my library book - thanks.

Also, just because something was grown organically doesn't mean it's better for the planet. Just like produce, if an organic apple comes from Washington state and a conventionally grown apple comes from my own state, it may be that the fuel and electricity that goes into transporting that organic apple outweighs its worth in organic-ness...food for thought the next time we opt to spend the extra dough for organic blueberries from MI-unless you live near Michigan! :)

$200 for a shirt. Right. Why am I subscribing to this? How useful is this to me?

I always hear that if more people buy organic, demand increases and therefore prices will drop. But, seriously...how many average, hard-working folks out there are going to blow $100 or more on a simple cotton men's shirt? $35 organic cotton jeans -- I'd buy those. $300 organic henly...give me a break. These are supposed to be useful tips.

As much as I'd like to wear organic clothes, I don't think I'm going to be purchasing a $ 200 shirt anytime soon. That just isn't practical for most people. I'm going to make a concerted effort to not buy new clothes as much as I've had in the past. I'm going to take a look at the thrift shops but the clothes at those places, at least the ones in my area, seem to be fuddy-duddy.

you don,t have a rating low enough for this tip. what a waste of my time.

While this tips is helpful for those who can afford to drop $200 on a T-shirt, it doesn't really do much more than give the average person raising a family and doing what they can to "go green." For the most part it is a good laugh.
