Well, the advice paid off. Headed up to Clinton Crossings for some outlet shopping and did pretty well for myself.

Picked up a bunch of shirts on the cheap, and they all worked out. The girlfriend told me I'd look good in white, especially given my very tan summer skin. I was VERY leary at first, as I've never before looked good in white (read, I had huge man boobs). Well, apparently my chest has gone down enough with the weight loss that I looked pretty darn sharp in a pair of white polos with a graphic off to the side and some thin horizontal stripes from Aeropostale. Really comfortable, not too long, show off my shoulders/neck muscles, and just fit perfect. I threw in another brown polo shirt with beige and red stripes from Aero, and headed on to the next store.

The Gap also worked out well for me. I picked up a nice pair of dark charcoal grey cargo shorts with a big pocket on each side, but nothing poofy or goofy looking. I got REALLY lucky and found a pair with a 31 waist which fit me PERFECT, and it's probablyt he first pair of shorts I've ever had that weren't too long. They're comfortable as hell too, and look pretty sharp. Also made out with an uber cheap brown set of swim trunks, as I was in dire need.

At another store, I was able to pick up two slightly dressier shirts on the cheap. The first a mixed stripe/thin squares (think checkerboard, but not checkered), with some blues and browns in it. Also picked up one with green vertical stripes. What amazed me was that a SMALL fit me PERFECTLY. Don't stick out when they're tucked in, sleeves can be nicely rolled up, fits the chest/midsection very nicely, sleeves the perfect length. Having something green definitely made the little lady happy, too.

A trip to Pacsun nailed me the PERFECT pairs of jeans. I wanted a more casual set first, so found a lighter pair with a washed out look and some tatters. Fit great in the waste, but enough room in the thighs with a loose boot cut to be very comfortable without looking baggy. I really wanted a dark pair to go with some nicer shirts/slightly dressier looking casual. I found a dark pair in a slim fit boot cut, and fell in love with the things. They tapered in just a hair in the thighs, still comfortable, and sat great around my sneakers (no tripping over the heel with either pair). They actually made my butt look GOOD, and I never even knew I had one!

I decided to end off the day on a shoe hunt. I needed a pair of plain white sneakers, and lucked out as plenty of shoe stores had the 2 for $89 going on. I scored a set of mid-height classic looking adidas with just a thin grey striping on them that looked very nice, but found the PERFECT pair of other adidas, almost all white, but with a brown sole, brown stripe, and an off-white stripe as well. Will go perfect with a lot of my clothes, as I'm trying to incorporate some brown more and more.

All in all, spent about $200 on the day, picked up some great deals, LOVE the look of the new clothes, and even managed to get a cat call and wink out of a pair of young ladies when walking out of the dressing room at Aeropostale. I've also got a good idea of what to look for when I'm dragging a young female around with me, which should certainly be helpful.
