Yeah, they normally end up at the back of my wardrobe. Or I only wear them around the house. Poor clothes. Unhappy

Like for me im into Vintage clothing from Early 90's/80's era, but I'd never wear Acid Wash jeans or Motorbike leather jackets ect... something Old mixed in with some new is what I like doing.

What? The nineties are vintage now?
I had heard the rumours, but the fact that people really are saying that is just D: I feel so old.

Also, motorcycle jackets are really timelessly cool. You really should try one out.

Agreed. Speaking of which I shall need to buy one considering I plan on getting my license in the summer.Cool
Those jackets are gorgeous. @_@
The top model's a little 'off' though. XD I'd prefer the top one if the material was more like the bottom one......I can't really tell if it's supposed to look weathered or if it's just old. Either way, it could do with looking a bit newer. The shape and pockets and stuff are great though. Joyful_3
Pity they're for men. XD

The first one is probably vintage, going by how it fits him he's probably had it for years.

And it's entirely possible to get motorcycle jackets for women. ;p
Ouch. I don't think I'll ever buy an item of clothing that expensive. Crying Unless I somehow become rich, in which case, I will wear expensive dresses every day. But that'll never happen. Unhappy
Brad, I'm setting you a challenge. Find an item of clothing you really want for under $30. Tongue_out
My biker jacket's still pretty nice.

But I shall always think back to the Armani biker jacket that could have been...

Fair enough. And I just meant that those particular ones weren't for womens. I've wanted a womens jacket like that for a while......with a zip to the side. But now Effy (girl on popular teens UK show) has one. She seems to wear everything I've wanted for a while and now people think I'm trying to copy her. It's rather irritating. Actually, it happens a lot. Unhappy

Mind you, I doubt I'd know where to start. I can't exactly afford expensive jackets but if I get a cheaper one then everyone has it. It sucks. Unhappy Actually they have a load in Camden but they're not the best of quality. Confused
That raspberry colour is quite nice actually. :3

But 'ew' at the chest on 'Slate'. Pinching_eyes_2
the models are awful but i would rock the hell out of that shirt

if you have hair on your chest you shouldn't wear deep v
True and true. I try not to judge but I don't see how anyone could find that much hair (or any really) on a chest attractive. Chocked

Well you clearly aren't me then. hahaha

Granted, that dude's chest is actually disgustingly hairy, but I find moderately hairy chests hot. *shrug*
I could probably live with a small - small/medium amount of hair, I'd just rather not. Pinching_eyes_2 Each to their own I guess. ^^;
Ughhh, that guy needs to learn what clippers are. :\
Clippers?! Can you imagine the pain?! He needs some wax. XD

Skins!
I've seen her wear that, i like it.

She also has numerous dresses, tights, shoes in styles that I've been after. It's quite annoying. Unhappy
Also, I've liked check stuff since forever. And then it comes into fasion. And now it's out of fasion. So now I can't wear my check stuff without being 'last year'. Grrrr.

uhhh waxing hurts a helluva lot more than these things

[Image: 7526.jpg]

Hell even a razor would do just fine.
I must add that her dresses are very short, you notice these things as a boy. :3
But waxing is all over quickly. I guess it depends on the type of hair too though.

And yeah, Neek you're right (you notice these things as my mum as well XD). I don't really have the legs for it but I kinda like short dresses. :X Longer ones too of course.
