hey, I just wanted to add that i, too have a nerdy and clueless boyfriend. he is not a tough guy either, and sometimes that really bothers me, but the nerdy ones are often the best ones. i love seeing people wear fun clothes, and since i've moved to portland, i have noticed lots. maybe you're just a big fish in a small pond? or a closed-minded pond? anyway, you look great, and i love the top. wear it with pride, knowing that you look beautiful and that you actually have a personality of your own, unlike so many other people.
and yes, i am a newbie : )
