I have quite a few factors to consider when getting dressed for a typical day. I have a job at a flower and plant shop where I get wet and covered in dirt and dust, but I also need to look good for customers and feel good about my appearance. I bike and walk to work nearly everyday in all weather. In Maine. Deciding how many layers to wear is a daily puzzle. Then there is the separate wardrobe I maintain for working on installations and design. I try and keep the number of paint-covered clothing at a minimum, but there always seems to be new items added to the collection. So clothes have to be functional, breathe and move well and still look good. I like to accessorize a little and definitely play with color, but it's hard to find either of those things in menswear. Most of my clothing is thrift and vintage, but nothing too fancy.
