What are you wearing today??

[Hal]

...it's freezing, the wind is blowing, there's some snow falling...

All very functional kit here. Barbour woolly jumper over a Norge (Norwegian Army shirt), thick moleskin pants, RM Boots, Burberry Trench and Fedora (very firmly stuck on my head with a nasty wind just dying to rip it off!!).

...and very smart-looking in its functionality!

I have to do both my usual Saturday and Sunday errands today, because not much is open on Easter in Northeast Wisconsin. No special plans for tomorrow. I belonged to a United Church of Christ here for a while because my then-partner did, and it was a pleasant church where I made many nice connections; but I never really engaged with it religiously, and now that I'm on my own again I feel no urge to return there. So this is a non-eventful weekend for me.

Medium gray wool cuffed trousers
Marshall Field's spread collar shirt, white ground with intricate light blue line pattern, open neck, crisp white tee underneath
Black leather dress belt with silver buckle and tip
Swiss Army watch with black band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Polo eyeglasses (in place of usual contact lenses)
Jos. A. Bank black/navy argyle OTC socks
Bass black tassel loafers with woven leather vamps
Black leather jacket (medium weight lining, just right for this 40s weather)

Shoes, belt, cufflink, AND watchband. Y'gotta smile and tip your hat in admiration when you see that kind of attention to detail.

I've always been a fan of the green/brown color combo! It's fresh, yet still classic.

50's disaster!
+ blur and bad lighting. I tried...

50's scarf -- Off Broadway, a local vintage shop.
50's western shirt -- An antique mall.
50's Wranglers -- a gift.
Keds -- anywhere.

I just don't know what to wear with these pants! I feel that the bright, robin's egg blue on the shirt is way too much for the light green bottoms; I also don't know how to make pastel pants look like they didn't just pop out of "The Babysitter's Club" -- the look I've got now is reminiscent of a 90's camp counselor. I'm really tempted to just dye them indigo, but I think that would be a horrible vintage sin, since that mint color is so rare. Older fabrics don't dye evenly, anyway.

I think it's just time for me to just invest in a good, white, cotton blouse. The only white blouse I have is a loose, Titanic-era one. I'm horrible at shopping for basics!

Ultimate Fail.

Thanks. Does that make them winsome?

I don't know, I think you look better than you give yourself credit for, Miss G3...

Besides, I think "Ultimate Fail" would be a term better reserved for the sleaze you see around most malls these days. Just my pair of copper-clad Lincolns...
