i live in a warmer/arid climate..so i cant rock most of the boots in here..plus im not a big fan of boots to begin with....especially the bulky ones

any body know what kinda kicks i can pull off for a casual yet well dressed look..
ive seen ppl suggest saddle shoes and desert boots..but im not really feeling those either..i need somethin sleek looking..

any suggestions? where to cop? ( i know this has probably been asked before..forgive me)
If you got a couple $$$

What shoes are these? These are perfect!
 
I really like common projects but the price and the serial # on every shoe or w/e are terrible. i have 2 or 3 pairs of vans that are really similar in style toCPs for $40-50 each

This pic is from The Sartorialist.

Although the picture is of a woman, the concept still holds true. I've been looking for something to convince me brown would work with a primarily blackoutfit. I'd been pretty cautious to stay away from combining the two even when following the belt/shoe rule. I don't know why but I just never feltcomfortable/confident about that mix.

I hate this 40 degree Bay Area weather, but at least I get a chance to wear all my sweaters, jackets, and scarves all together

Good looking out on the discount. You cant go wrong when the boots come out to $45. I wanted to buy both the black and the brown woodsman bootsbut only settled on the black. Both would have came out to $105 shipped but Wifeys bday and Christmas = no loot.
 
It is 40 degrees here in SoCal too, just glad the rain stopped for a day or two and then it is coming back.

From the Sartorialist, simple but I like.

This pic reminds me, I might have to get the sleeves on my herringbone slimmed down a bit.

Darts is pretty much another way of tapering the shirt except instead of taking it from the side, they just pinch the back. Price should be the same or closeto how much taking the sides in cost.
