I'm going to end this post with a semi-note-to-self type of inspiration piece. I love reading The Sartorialist mostly to admire the styles of others, and partially for wardrobe inspiration. While I love being feminine, there are times I wish I were a boy (just for style-sake); especially when I see men like this:



I will be back sooner than later, however, before I depart, I leave you with one last little gem.
