My beauty secrets when it rains:

1. Waterproof mascara (and not a lot of makeup).
2. Wear a hat (this kind of day, it's okay to have a bad hair day).
3. Wear pants or jeans (not a good idea to wear a dress, skirt, or shorts).
4. A sweater (just in case it does get cooler).

By the time tax season rolls around again, the sneakers will have been trashed, and I can buy black short boots instead. That way, I can wear them to both jobs.
You're also a self-described ascetic, TK.

But I can only wear one pair of shoes at a time. It's not like I need white tennis shoes AND black tennis shoes, brown boots, black boots, sandals or flip flops...etc.

Women and shoes don't make any sense to me. "I have to match them to the outfit." Just crazy.

If I need to wear something OTHER than blue jeans--which anything would go with--I have a pair of black dress shoes that go with anything else.

And "fashion" as it is, is ridiculous. That's why many guys do not get into it.

And that fact tends to show.

Yet, even the unfashionable guys are pretty happy with their lives. Imagine that.

I wasn't implying that they shouldn't be. My boyfriend doesn't wear anything from current trends - he's more old school hardcore, with punk and grunge influences - and he's perfectly happy that way, as am I. It's very him.

But a lot of guys have this awful tendency to wear things that look awful on them, either because they're trying too hard to be attractive or they spilled coke all over that particular ironic t-shirt and just end up looking gross.

Tell me about it! Spent some time living there and had to go out in the middle of the afternoon and the rain was so heavy you couldn't see in front of your windshield while driving. People were speeding around me and my ex-boyfriend because we were going so slow as we never experienced rain so heavy and dense before! Almost like being in a car wash!

To keep this on topic: I hate rain. I reserve a pair of old shoes for rainy days so I don't ruin my new/good ones.
