I called this.

However, the fact that this occurred so early speaks more to Groupon’s inadequate infrastructure than it does to hipsters pulling themselves out of bed before noon to catch a sale.

She'll probably buy me deep-v's

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 06:43:00 -0600

The wife: Oh my gosh! Today's Groupon is $25 for $50 credit at American Apparel today! Wait. Why are there only 77 sold?
Me: Yeah, hipsters aren't up this early. Better hurry before Groupon is crushed under the weight of all hipsterdom.

The wife: Where's the men's fashion and the affordable fashion on Boutiques.com?
Me: Oh, you'll find those filed under the " not profitable for us" category.

A reporter from She Knows called The Wife to interview her about The Man Makeover. She happily obliged. Great. Now the rest of the American female population will be convinced that this is a good idea. My fellow men will not be pleased. [link]

The Man Makeover is still going strong. We just haven’t been updating the photos. The Wife blames her pregnancy and I suspect this is just the beginning of her using the kid as an excuse to shirk her duties (joke).

In any regard, she promises that she’ll start taking and editing my photos for me again starting this week. We bought a load of summer clothes recently, so soon you will be all updated with my awkward adventures in menswear.

I guess part of this man makeover is making me over into a dad. Bring on the dad jeans.

This happened yesterday. My ears are cold now. [video]

Week 5: Monday. It’s funny. The wife just blogged this morning about two wrongs making a right (she was referring to the vile combination of anchovies and pineapples on a pizza).

[ shirt: Banana Republic/ Savers, jeans: Element, sweater: h&m/ Buffalo Exchange, shoes: Unlisted ]

This outfit is a better illustration of how two wrongs make a right. I hate both this shirt and this sweater, but together. Eh. Not so bad.

Week 4: Friday. It’s been a month. I’ve worn more vests than a cross walk guard.

[ shirt- American Eagle/ Savers, vest- Eddie Baurer/ Savers, jeans- Element, shoes- Unlisted ]

People finally realize that these new outfits are here to stay. I was kind of hoping she would have given up by now.

Week 4: Thursday. Another vest. I think this is the last of them, though.

[ shirt- Guess, vest- Savers, jeans- Lee, shoes- Dexter ]

These shoes are so loud that I feel like a tap dancer, too.

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:17:00 -0600

Week 4: Wednesday. I didn’t want to say anything because I don’t want to jinx it, but this is basically like wearing a t-shirt and hoodie, like I did every other day prior to this makeover. In other words, I can dig it.

[sweatshirt: Converse, polo: American Apparel, jeans: Levis, shoes: Sketchers ]

Beats wearing a tie and suit vest, that’s for dang sure.

Week 4. Tuesday. For four days, she’s had me try on this vest. She finally forced me to wear it out in public today.

[shirt: Savers, vest: Savers, jeans: Lee, shoes: Unlisted]

I feel like John Ritter’s stand-in on “Three’s Company” in this get up.

Week 4: Monday. Another pearl snap shirt and now new shoes....

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:10:20 -0600

Week 4: Monday. Another pearl snap shirt and now new shoes. These are 1/3 frat boy boat shoes, 1/3 Eastlands circa 1994, and 1/3 tennis shoe. All in all it’s a strange hybrid that I’m not too crazy about.

[ shirt: Blue Velvet vintage, jeans: Lee, shoes: Sketchers. Not pictured: the women’s H&M cardigan she claimed was “unisex”. ]

I’m not going to knock these shoes too hard, though. They’re extremely comfortable, so they’ve got that going for ‘em.

There wasn't a camera, but now there is.

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:00:00 -0600

Week 4: Pictures start up again tomorrow. Today she made me wear an H&M sweater that I later Googled and found out is a women’s. This makeover isn’t going so well.

Week 3: Jimi was into my outfit on Tuesday, but on Wednesday, he couldn’t care less. Must be the “unisex” sweater again.

[ Tuesday: shirt- Perry Ellis, pants- Levis, shoes- Unlisted, belt- Nautica ]
[ Wednesday: sweater and polo- American Apparel, jeans- Lee, shoes- Unlisted ]

The Wife has two cameras and both of them are out of commission. I thought this meant the makeover was off. No. Instead this means she takes photos on her phone and begs me for new cameras.

Foiled again.

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:13:00 -0600

The Wife: We're just now starting week three. I don't want to have to do repeats already. Where are your new American Apparel polos?
Me: In the laundry.
The Wife: Still?
Me: Yes.
The Wife: Look, I don't want you not doing laundry so that I'm forced to have to pick from your pre-makeover clothes!

Week 3: If Keith Urban ever calls me to play bass in his backup band, I am set with the wardrobe.

[ shirt: Kenny Rogers (it’s the brand, I don’t think this was his personally), jeans: Lee, shoes: Steve Madden ]

The Wife bought me this shirt four years ago in Santa Cruz when we were still living in California. I’m now fairly certain that she was planning this makeover all along.

She loves vests.

Week 2: The Wife was sick last Friday. I thought that meant she wasn’t picking out my outfit. I was wrong. That just meant that she didn’t take a photo of Friday’s outfit.

Just so you know, it was a vest. No surprise there though, right?

Week 2: When she bought this, I thought about burning it. [...

Week 2: When she bought this, I thought about burning it.

Flowers? Thanks to this, the jig is up. Everyone is my office knows about The Man Makeover now. At least my sanity is no longer being questioned. The Wife’s? That’s a different story.
