Guest Story: Little Number Worn By a Doctor
Anyone out there ever tucked a gray sweatshirt into gray sweatpants? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Wouldn’t be too flattering for the ole figure now, would it? Well, unfortunately for Mickey (the editor for Style Swag magazine), her husband does tuck sweatshirts into sweatpants. And even more unfortunately for her, he does this at important events. Such as the closing on the first apartment they purchased in New York city. In her own words:
“Let me draw you the graphic, gory image: Dark hair, olive complexion (Italian heritage) wearing an ash gray sweatsuit set (Yes, I repeat, the set! Shirt tucked into pants nonetheless). On top of this atrocity, he dons a camel colored sport coat/blazer thing! And just to make sure I never regain use of my retinas, he has the white and navy blue New Balance sneakers on.
Needless to say, everyone wanted to see his ID. They did not believe he was a doctor. My lawyer just hung his head. And for a lawyer to be at a loss for words…Not good.
Why, you ask? Why would a man with an extensive education and strong moral fiber go to such lengths to inflict this type of visual carnage? His reason for wearing the BLAZER was that the sweatsuit didn’t have any pockets. You know, for the important items people need to carry to an important legal event like a closing. (As he explained this, I stood there with my eyes bugging out and my mouth ajar.) So, as if the blazer sweatpant combo wasn’t enough–also the pockets of said blazer had to be stuffed and LUMPY. He looked like a HOBO who’d just shoplifted items from a nearby 711….”
Please do see the wonderful photo I have included for your viewing pleasure. Remember, this model is wearing a T-shirt, not sweatshirt, which would look SO MUCH WORSE. Plus he’s a model for a reason–he looks better than the average Joe in clothes. My point: I think we all know that a real husband in this get up would definitely more closely resemble a snowman stuffed into a blazer than a hot model who’s simply wearing an ugly outfit (as in this photo).
PS. More on Style Swag magazine–I LOVE this–it benefits charities while informing readers about the latest fashion trends, celebrity gossip, and news stories!! It’s linked to Style Station NYC where customers shop (for cosmetics, fashions, etc.) as usual but 10-20% of profits go to CHARITIES. All kinds of them.

Oh, I most certainly do feel your pain.
How’s this for pain–it’s at least 100 degrees outside right now in Hollywood. SPEAKING OF SWEATSHIRTS, guess who’s wearing one?
That’s right. My husband. I think I’ve mentioned in a post that he never wears summer clothing. I tried so hard to just get him to wear a button up Oxford type thing. Nope. Sweatshirt.
