what landis wore : evenings out in los angeles

things i've noticed about myself recently.

1) i am old.  

a night "out" no longer requires any of the following items:

velvet catsuits.  riding boots.  masks.  eyeliner.  

(just ask tim.  i am not kidding.)

2) los angeles is making me dress up MORE.

perhaps it's that you can walk into any restaurant in jeans and a tee here

that makes the landis want to pile on the fur.

it's dinner out, you slobs.

not a screening of a seth rogan film.

3)  i gave up trying to define my style 

in the same way i gave up trying to describe myself.

like all good things in life,

experiencing it is better than talking about it.

so:

(rick owens tee.  lanvin cardigan/wrap.  diesel pants.  bottega loafers.  gray sable scarf.)

(burberry prorsum blazer, h&m turtleneck, mochi silk twill khakis, grenson navy patent wingtips)

wait.  gets better.

2/3 of the items.  70% off.

ha.

i AM aware of "these troubled times".

eat it, pessimists.  you CAN buy happiness.
