Not To Be Mistaken for the Dockers D1

So what's the difference between Dockers K-1 and Dockers D1? 

About $30 to 40 bucks suckers...True with the more expense K1 you get a heavier cotton, vintage inspired look, and a Button-fly.  But the D1 isn't too shabby and you get that chic slim fit that you don't get with the K1 and they're on sale for $33, with 50% off a 2nd pair (here) if you act fast!

Warby Parker Review

A few months back I did a post on Warby Parker: boutique quality, bargain priced eyewear. Frames and lenses cost only $95 (including shipping). Concerns about buying online without trying them on are addressed by home try-ons (up to 5 frames) with free shipping both ways. After you decide on your frame, enter your prescription info. and your glasses will be at your doorstep within 10 days.

The Good
I choose the Nedwin frame was satisfied with the look and quality and I received them in 4 days.
The Bad
Simply put, they're backed up.  Due to "unprecedented demand" home try-ons weren't available so I had to upload a picture and use the "virtual try-on".  Also they ran out of Warby Parker cases, so they were shipped with a generic case (with a promise to send the Warby Parker case when they received more).

I'm happy with my purchase, but if the home try-ons where available I may have ended up with a bolder frame...like (these).

8 Ways to Wear a Henley

I recently picked up a Henley (Banana Republic) for a $1 at Salvation Army.  I have never worn a Henley but for a buck I figured I'd try it out.

I'm still not sure if this Thermal with buttons, or this collarless polo shirt is for me but below is a visual how to for those who may want to add the Henley shirt to the wardrobe.

 8 Ways to Wear a Henley

1. As a Muscle Shirt

2. With Stripes

3. Button all the way up (like a thermal)

4. As an Exposed Undershirt 

5. With a Flat-top

6. With a Blazer

7. Sleeves Up

8. With Short Sleeves (Like a Deep V-Neck)
