Look at this Fucking Oldster

Fashion and shopping blog Nerd Boyfriend wants you to dress like a famous film director. What stunning young fashionista have they picked this time around? This guy:

That’s right, it’s John Ford!

Now, I know what you’re thinking – how can I ever look as dashing as that man?  But here’s a shocker for you: he never had any formal fashion training. That’s right: he never studied! And even more shocking: he was never recognized during his lifetime for his fashion sense. Believe it or not, he won four Oscars, and not a single “best dressed” award.

But you’re in for a real treat, because while he may not have gotten the attention he deserved for his fashion sense back then, he’s being celebrated for it today. The good people behind Nerd Boyfriend have gone to the trouble of helping you recreate the authentic John Ford look with a comparable sweater, scarf, belt and a pair of pants to match those chosen by the master. (You’ll have to get your own matching hat, eyepatch, and coke-bottle glasses.)

I’m sure you’d be willing to pay at least $10,000 for that ensemble, but these inveterate bargain hunters have scoured the inter-tubes to get you into this look for far less:

• Plain V-neck sweater? $245.
• Nondescript khaki pants? $345 $84. Sale!
• Ugly scart? $147.
• Belt you can’t really see? $46.

That’s an entire look – and a look put together by a senile, nearly blind old man at that – for a mere $783 $522!

So get to shopping people!
