Wow. Hi. So it's been almost 3 years since my last post here on Dr. Dietrich's Guide for the Dapper Gent.

I do so humbly apologize.

I began this with millions of ideas and fantasies, and then life happened, and it got whisked away from me. I've wanted to return with new topics and inspirations, but always felt ashamed because I've left you in the cold for so long.

Well, I was touring through the abysmal pinterest.com's men's fashion section, and I realised something: they make me feel like I'm not skinny enough and that I live in too warm a climate. Seriously? I'm supposed to wear a three piece suit and scarf and tie in summer? Also, there's never anything new. You could just have one website that says Men's Fashion: Suits Look Nice, and that's it.

Now I'm no fashion expert, and I'm sure that many other people will be able to do this so much better than me, but I'm back and going to give it a try.

Now, I've collected myself a certain style over the years. It's not easy. I'm not skinny. I'm not tall. I like bright colors. I don't wear jeans. So it's a lot of hunt and peck before I find what I'm looking for. Now when I started this, I meant to have a very Neo-Victorian/Steampunk blog. I haven't lost that vibe, but I have toned it down a bit.

I've made some changes in my life. I live in New Orleans now, which is the best place to live to get away with any look, though we're a fry cry from a fashion capital. Also, we have a severe lack of retail shopping, especially for men. As a result, it's just plain hard. But if it's important to you, don't give up.

But I will log in my adventures and misadventures into the vast world of fashion and style... and maybe the random off-topic interest piece.

So please stick around for the All new Dr. Dietrich. I hope you enjoy the ride.

That is all,

The Notorious Dr. Dietrich
