Today I’m making two posts full of things I can’t afford, but are on my OMG WANT list.  Net-a-Porter.com sent out their usual What’s New email and now I’m crying in to my empty bank account.

A heart charm and spiked black metal cuff.

Juicy Couture Hide & Chic Bib Necklace

A bold black rhinestone-studded bib necklace

Dannijo Chanterilli Chrystal-Knot Necklace

Crystal-embellished knotted silver-tone chain necklace

Frankly, men’s fashion is in a perpetually sad state.  If you want something decent, you pay through the nose for it.  Off-the-rack American menswear caters to the common man, who frankly is either a fashion slob, or only wears what’s available.  This creates a self-perpetuating cycle of bad fashion begets bad fashion sense.

Every so often I’ll see something that stands out.  In this case, it’s a pair of shoes from Urban Outfitters.  Yes, they’re nearly $150, but that’s a far cry from the $300+ you’re looking at for most decent stuff.
