I'm ready for my show on Bravo

One of the things I was able to do on the trip to Richmond was stop in a few places and get a few items of clothing.

The place I stayed was a hop, skip and jump from Short Pump Town Center, which I thought was a strange name for a mall, but then again, it's not like I'm getting asked to name a lot of malls. So kudos to the dude who named that mall.

Here's what I found. This Vineyard Vines polo shirt. I've worn a polo shirt or two over the years and am always searching for brands that fit my rockin' physique. It's hard to top a good ol' Ralph Lauren polo, but at almost $90 a pop these days, my eyes are open for alternatives.

I tried on a few polos at J. Crew but the sleeves were cropped about an inch off the shoulder, which was not a good look on my wiry, pale arms.



I did find these yellow pants at J. Crew, and they were pretty reasonably priced.


I also found the tan pants below at J. Crew. The girl ringing this stuff up was telling me how much she liked all the seersucker stuff they're carrying this spring. I didn't have the heart to tell her that these are merely corded cotton, not seersucker. There is a difference.

And yes, I do realize that recognizing a difference between corded cotton and seersucker makes me sound like I should be hosting a makeover show. For that matter, the entire content of this post sounds that way.

So I've got a couple more things to work into the wardrobe lineup this summer. If this summer ever comes. Maybe I should have bought the "summer weight" cashmere sweater the J. Crew guy was trying to sell me.
