Get some style

I started reading the website ArtofManliness.com over the weekend. I find it strikes a chord inside, since I was raised by my dad to be a gentleman and the ideals of what a man should be. But going through college as well as single life in college I seem to have lost my way somewhat. Now I'm married to my lovely wife and we have 4 little boys, and I find myself not being the man I wish to be. So in my pursuit of my roots, I came upon this site. Initially my interest is in developing my personal style in clothing. As they say you are what you wear. First I plan on working on my wardrobe from the article how to build your wardrobe, for the casual professional. From the list that they have, I need to first go through all my clothes and determine what I have and what I need. Since we are always on a tight budget I will be browsing thrift stores and see if I can find some quality jeans, shirts, and pants. (I would have never thought I would say that) One of the things I'm realizing about style, is that you need to acquire items of clothing that are timeless instead of waving in the winds of flitting trends. I know that right now I change my clothing styles pretty much every couple of years, but since I'm in the professional world now I'd like to cement what that style is for the future. I did make my first acquisition of a Christian Dior pinstriped suit from a thrift store for an entire $6! I still need to have it dry cleaned but it is a very sharp looking suit. If there are other men out there who are also in the process of developing their styles, please comment and let me know what you are acquiring.
