The tie from today's post is really neat; the first one (tie) I've really felt compelled to comment on.

Clipper: Thank you. Just wait untill it gets a new crystal, a hand polish, a mild cleanup of the dial and the crown replaced with an original one

Todays attire for work:

Striped off-white/beige drivers cap in linen
White dress shirt
50s or 60s brown and orange tie
Gray woolen knitted vest
Khaki wool trousers

Not too cold but enjoyable spring weather. I am trying to enjoy my wool sportcoats before the weather turns warm.
Here is the same sport coat with a different shirt/tie combo.

I *wish* I could wear vintage but anytime I do anything vintage (wear clothes, do my hair, makeup, or even listen to music) my mother gets upset with me and criticizes and condemns me how can I get her to accept this? it really sucks...

Do it till she gets use to it.

Great combinations Feraud. It's pretty funny, Im doing the same, too, with my clothes! What I Should have done was look for the linens in the winter and be ready for the summer :eusa_doh:

Clipper, your outfits are always very clean-lined and well fitting. The perfect 1940s/early 1950s look if you ask me!

jtcarrey, it saddens me to hear this from not only you, but from other people I've met before. It's like they see something totally wrong with dressing nice! Not to get in your personal life, but for me, I feel that how I dress is a little more appropriate and less provocative of anything related to drugs, violence and whatnot that's going on in the world. If anything, your family should be proud you dress nice!

Like metropd put it, just do it 'till she's used to it. Or, better yet, 'till she sees everyone else's reaction and comes to the realization she raised a considerate and well rounded old-fashioned gal!

ah I can only wish, today she told me that I looked old cuz I was wearing a dress, and it was a dress I bought at TARGET this year, like what?? she said I'd look more feminine (and attractive in men's eyes) in shorts and a tank top.... I just don't get it lol

Very clean look today, metropd.

sighs yea.... well she just thinks vintage clothes are gross cuz they're old and used, not to mention, she hated that my grandma always wore dresses and heels, even in the house, in her 80's!! so yea, maybe I just remind her of my grandma lol and she'd hate that well I need more dresses anyway, I don't have much to my wardrobe, I used to wear tank tops all the time cuz I get hot very easily but I wasn't always comfortable in them cuz I hate looking like everyone else and I hate tanning and burning at the same time lol so yea, I'm glad I found a group of friends that appreciate real feminine beauty, so nertz to her opinions! hahaha

 

[jtcarrey]

btw metropd, you look adorable in your suit, how old are you? you look awfully young

As the father of three daughters I can guarantee you that I'll support them wearing dresses anytime over shorts and a tank top.

This is feminine:

Miss JT, there's another possibility--it might not be about you at all, but possibly if your mother and grandmother had some kind of problem, then your mother might be seeing your choice of style as a reminder... either that or, some people just can't stand the idea of someone else doing anything better in any way than they do--heck, my folks pitched a fit when I started my little "MacArthur Restyle", and they still occasionally give me flak about it even five years on! Perhaps you might try explaining that "anyone can be sleazy, trashy or unrefined, but it takes real effort to be a lady--and clothes do make the person, after all..."

Seriously though, maybe she just wants me to be boring like everyone else, so like I said, nertz to that, I'll just do what I want as long as I can get away with it, afterall I'm too old to be bossed around by her now hahaha
