So close Friday

First, some random info about my subject matter. Charlie is in his late 20s, a bachelor living on his own, no siblings, and supposedly 5' 11" tall. He has a very difficult skin tone, I fully acknowledge this. It is that super fair pink tone that readily looks yellow or orange or sick if you put the wrong color next to it. My major beef with Charlie is that he favors washed out shades of beige and gray, and when he does wear color it is usually ALL WRONG GIMME THE ERASER.


So, today's clothing is actually quite good--on the Charlie scale i give it a solid 7. The brown rugby is a good color and style, and there are no obvious wrinkles on top or bottom. Points have been deducted as follows:

1. Buttons done all the way up.* It looks odd and uncomfortable. And he is wearing a t-shirt underneath.
2. White socks with black shoes. NEVER. unless you're a japanese schoolgirl.
3. Black loafers. Not heinous, but this particular pair is for a boring 50-yr-old. And i know that Charlie owns a pair of brown casuals.

*To be fair, C explained that he intentionally did that top button so as not to offend us (Syd and me) with his chest hair. However, upon undoing that button we discovered that chest hair was not in fact visible, so it's all moot.
