"As much as I travel for work, I have been forced create a checklist to help streamline the process of packing. \n\nThe packing list breaks down like this: 1 gray coat, 2 full suits, 4 dress shirts, 4 ties, 2 slacks, 2 jeans, 4 t-shirts, 4 pairs of boxer briefs, 2 pairs of black socks, 2 pairs of brown socks, 1 pair black dress shoes, 1 pair brown dress shoes, 1 pair Darth Vader (Star Wars) shoes, 1 pair Hans Solo (Star Wars) shoes, 1 cell phone charger, and 1 toiletry bag (with contacts, aspirin, travel shampoo, conditioner, shaving gel, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash, toner, moisturizer, and tons of hair product).\n\nUnfortunately, my list failed to include a black and/or brown belt. But fortunately, this Ross was located right across the street from my hotel and saved me from committing a fashion faux pas.\n\nThis Ross is clean, well organized, and features a great staff. Thanks in large part to what I just mentioned, I was able to locate a great Kenneth Cole dual colored (black and brown) belt for $10. And just for the hell of it, for another $10, I picked up a Ben Sherman black skinny tie (just in case I am ever invited to a \"Mad Men\" party).\n\nAnd since I found the belt I was looking for, I was able to stick around and admire the \"Jersey Shore\" section. I fingered through Affliction, Ed Hardy, and Armani Exchange t-shirts. I figured I would hold off on that purchase until I perfect my \"Pauly D\" blowout."^^ .
