Winter certainly has set in and I find myself spending longer in the hot shower trying to work out firstly how cold the day is going to be and secondly what I should wear to work that day. Winter makes this decision quite hard. Layers help, but there is only so many layers a male can wear before he starts looking like an eskimo. (Can I use that term or is it racist?).
Anyway, this morning was a typical crispy morning where Corporate Wellington were all on a mission to get to their warm buildings before their fingers and toes fell off. All rugged up in beanies, scarves, gloves and coats.
As I sat outside Mojo Old Bank Arcade, I happen to notice the most odd/interesting ensemble a man was wearing. This guy was wearing the usual winter woolies of a beanie, a scarf and a coat, however................I look down at his feet and he was wearing a brown pair of leather Hush Puppy Carmac dress sandals. Now don't get me wrong, the look was great...................IF IT WASN'T MINUS ONE MILLION DEGREES!! HELLLOOO!! I almost got frost bite just looking at them.
The point of my post is...........Is style really that more important than comfort??

I think the correct term is 'Innuit' - the preferred and universally accepted description of said Eskimo.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.... I don't think comfort comes into it at all. ITS ALL ABOUT STYLE!!!. Hence the ability of women to suffer excruitiating pain of stilettos worn all night regardless of the miles spend going from one entertainment venue to another.
No man of mine would be sent out wearing (I can hardly bring myself to say it)...sandals! Argggg!.
Thanks for that Madhu..haha!!
ReplyDeleteWell they weren't really sandals, more like leather Jandals exactly like that in the picture. Hopefully that provides a bit more level of comfort for you?
