Don't get me wrong. Though I do have certain fastidious scruples about proper attire, I certainly don't contemplate showing up at a summer pool blowout all bedecked in a frilly silk ballgown. Let's not be totally daft. It's all about dressing for the right occasion; which means those stained t-shirts and ratty shorts that you wore while cleaning out the dusty garret last weekend simply shouldn't make an appearance at a dinner party.
And absolutely not to a wedding banquet. Have some respect for your troubled hosts please.
Yes, laugh all you like but I've seen that particularly graceless faux pas take place a couple of times. In fact our very own fashion blunder Reasonable Remedy did it twice, right in front of our very eyes so that my eagle-eyed nurses felt compelled to immediately post up on Instagram for posterity! Terribly judgemental they have become as well though I've tried my best to rein them in.
Or at least prevent them from emphatically pointing out the deplorable flaws in public.
However what I didn't expect next was a surprisingly patronizing critique from Diffident David instead. For someone like him - like the ultimate slob Lanky Larry - who obstinately champions the Get Casual Everyday Cause to find someone's attire absolutely execrable, I find myself absolutely flabbergasted. Have I finally successfully converted him?
David : I'm just surprised you didn't make a comment about his dressing!
Paul : Why?
David : He looks terrible.
Paul : In t-shirt and shorts with selipar buruk?
David : Yes!
Paul : You wear the exact same thing all the time.
David : That's different. I wear better.
Paul : In t-shirt and shorts with selipar buruk?
David : Mine is more fitting!
Paul : I hate to break it you but still t-shirt and shorts with selipar buruk.
Try as he might to convince me, I really couldn't tell the difference. Even with high-definition pictures to prove his point, I couldn't see it. Sure, the t-shirt was a tad less unkempt. Maybe the shorts were a little smoother and newer. But overall let's face it, it's still t-shirt and shorts with selipar buruk.
Selipar buruk just means lousy flip flops over here.
Wait, did that mean he doesn't actually like what he wears himself?
