I most certainly will. That is if I can't fandango my way out of going out that night.
Don’t be a poor sport! We want red tux pics.  :D
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I had never though about this- apparently I need to give men's fashion a bit more thought. It's not just pretty faces and tight everything. According to this article the collared shirt should be the opposite of your face shape. Wide face- narrow collar. What do you think? Agreement or disagreement?

@PolkaDot   Meh.  Disagree.  It boils down to a matter of what one likes.  I don't buy the face v collar ratio thing.  Even so, if I did buy into it, the neck has a lot to do with it too.  My neck is 18.5 inches.  Half of my shirts are Oxfords w/ the button down collar.  They're standard casual stuff...don't need to worry about much.   The other half are a split between narrow collars and wider ones.  So being my neck is thicker, I have to focus on the tie knot more than anything when it comes to wider collars.  If I'm not wearing a tie, the collar doesn't matter. 

Essentially, it's ones overall body type and not just the shape of the face dictates where you want to go with style, etc.  Just my opinion of course.   ;)

I hope I made some sense.  ;D

@PolkaDot   Pfffft!  Lady boys.  I could wear those when I was 17.  And I abhor shoes without socks.  Oh...what does "fashion forward" mean?  ;D

@ShayP you are making sense. I agree that the knot is important. I love a loose shirt collar, luckily here in CO we’re pretty casual so most men do not need to worry about the knot.

PS the men around EllGab have a lot of disdain for the pretty boys!

Well. This will be a change of pace after Rikki's fabulous post

Hey @PolkaDot . Girlfriend. Is this dress too slutty for Fashion? I'm too petite to wear anything with lots going on. So I went simple and showing off my best assets. I wouldn't stand in that position unless my date begins to ignore me. Acceptable or is it back to the runway for more ideas? So hard to clothes shop without a wingwoman

P.S. I had to block the shoe so Shay wouldn't lose his breakfast
