Any thoughts on dress shirts. I am getting tired of things that don't fit. I have a large neck, long arms, but a thin frame. So I can't fill out a shirt that is made for my neck, the shirt ends up all poofy.

Yes, don't wear things that don't fit! I have a hard time with dress shirts too because you think they're all the same but a few little details make a huge difference in how they fit. There's probably not much you can do about the neck/chest problem with standard sizes. Instead, you want to find shirts that don't become poofy. Pay attention to the fabric--stay away from stiff, papery cotton or polyester shirts. Instead try fabrics that drape smoothly and are soft, like silk, linen, rayon, or cotton blended with silk or linen. Some kinds of cotton are also soft, depending on the weave. Then even if you're not filling it out, it will look less poofy. Also with the rise of metro fashions for men, some styles are more form-fitting. You might be able to find shirts that have a "slim" fit.

I will second that...I have a collection of silk 'dress shirts' and they work perfectly to eliminate the 'poof' so to speak.

I'm so lost on this whole dressing stuff. I've never really worn much but jeans and t-shirts. God, I'm such A hillbilly! I think I own a skirt...no clue where it is though. I guess I should start dressing more girly or something. I dunno...I know that was all completely off the topic, but I absolutely have NO fashion knowledge at ALL!!! LOL But my horses think I'm pretty! LOL

Any option to sandals? My feet are pretty beat up, and I don't want to get any kind of foot treatment unless it has a "happy ending" attached. But I also am not wearing white socks with shorts.

Ah yes, the latter...I'm not a fan of those myself...they're rather garish, and synthetic.

Crocs? I like them on 5 year old girls with those little Jibbitts in the shape of butterflies popped in the holes. My daughter has a pink pair. They are good on the beach.
Go with Merrills, Matisse. Forget any toe cleavage. The beach trekkers don't seem too bad. No white socks, thank you.

Eh, I don't know, maybe I will just skip the pools. It's hot and there are other things I'd rather do in Vegas anyway. And I'd have to be out for a while to get a tan.
