Day 4 of Paul

So, to reduce my black/grey combo that I have been rockin' these last couple days, I decided to opt for color  today but in a very simple way.  I knew I wanted to wear one of my light, button ups because it's been pretty damn warm here in Long Beach (sidenote: what happened to the fabulous, 70s summer???!!?) and that I also wanted to wear the 501s because I need to break them in to my body.
While they're great in terms of comfort for me, there is one spot where the prior owner differed (beside being slightly taller than I): he had a slightly smaller waist (apparently I'm not as curvy as I thought).  After every washing, that waist seems to nip back in and the the rivets right near the waist band give me hell.  I look forward to the day when they finally relent and give into to my waist and upper hip.

Anyways, today was a pretty low key day: grading in the coffee shop, help move some furniture, do some more work, and then a quick birthday kick back.  I decided to the keep things simple since I was wearing the broken in jeans and the light shirt and decided against any accessories.  The shirt was worn out and loose, the pants were given a peg/tight rolled (first link: how-to, second link: wiki article** but note that I don't use the safety pins they reference), and the shoes were my ox blood penny loafers.

Thumbs up!  I seriously need to find my camera cord because these photos are ridiculous and leave a lot to be imagined.  Next time I wear these pants, I'll most likely wear them with these same shoes and I always peg them, I'll get an upclose shot so you will have to wonder no more!
And, in response to the reference to last August, I guess I butched this up by carrying a briefcase to the coffee shop, and not one of my normal bags (even though I'm still on the hunt for the perfect oversized, black, leather tote).

**I would like to point out, though, that the photo on the wiki article is ridiculous.  Nike trainers with a pegged leg?  Really?
