Things That Never Go Out of Style
Keepin' it classy
1. Clean shoes
I keep an eye out for good shoes when they go on sale. I really like the Goodfellow brand at Target, affordable and classy.
I also get the cheap cans of foaming shoe cleaner that's safe for all types of material + the cheap shoe kits that come with a cleaning brush, fresh laces etc.
I get compliments on my shoes pretty often from people asking if they're new, even if they're a few years old and been worn often.
2. The Handkerchief
I dont keep them in my pocket like they did in the old days. That would be gross to offer someone a handkercheif from the back pocket of my jeans. I do keep them in my computer bag and in my house in case anyone ever needs one. They're cheap, useful and look classy when you offer one to a guest.
3. Quality Masonry
No matter what direction construction goes, good old-fashioned brick or stone masonry building always looks good.
4. Respecting your elders
Old people. Maybe grumpy, smelly, or hard to deal with (I'm talking to you grandpa) They have a lot of life experience and deserve a good amount of respect.
5. Physical mail
Had a good time with friends? Want to tell your parents you love them? Send a post card. Seriously, getting something in the mail from a friend or family member is so much more fun than coupons and bills. It's only costs like $2 for a card and postage.
6. Giving your undivided attention during a conversation
Looking at your phone or computer screen while having a conversation is rude.
7. A Pocket Knife
Use mine every day.
8. A nice pen
In 2004 I was a 19 year old leaving home, my dad clipped a $9 metal Parker pen to my shirt pocket and said "a good man has a good pen" - That stuck with me.
9. Learning to fix things
Taking care of your possessions is cool.
10. A positive attitude
