I don't have a photo, but today I'm wearing a cotton 1950s shirtdress with a full white skirt and a black/white embroidered bodice. Wide black belt, black ballet flats.

I went to the Michael Buble concert last night at the Resch Center in Green Bay. After seeing Buble live, there is certainly no doubting his star quality! He and his impressive 13-member big band put on a terrific show given the limitations of the arena format. But those limitations are considerable, and I wish I could someday hear Buble in a more intimate setting, although fat chance of that. Once an arena artist, it becomes very difficult (for economic reasons alone) to ever revert to smaller venues, except as a lark. (Springsteen has been known to "sneak" into small clubs to play sets for no doubt stunned patrons -- Toad's Place in New Haven being one such club.)

Buble has good audience rapport, and a line of banter that recalls Chris Isaak's (from whom he no doubt learned much when he was opening for him).

On his last encore, Buble went mike-less and sang unamplified to an arenaful of 8,000 people -- a coup de theatre, needless to say, and darned effective.

Today's outfit:

JAB Signature olive plaid SB 2B single-vent suit, plain bottom trousers
Grey shirt with white point collar, white French cuffs, royal blue monogram on left cuff
Black/blue-grey patterned tie
Gold trumpet tie bar, angled down
Macclesfield navy pocket square with water nymph pattern, points up
Pink carnation, right lapel
Vintage lion cufflinks
Blue silk braces
Fossil watch with gold/silver band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Gold college ring (right ring finger)
Groved stainless steel ring (left ring finger)
Grey Flannel cologne
Olive patterned OTC socks
Cole-Haan black split-toe lace-ups
Vintage Stetson olive fedora with black band, feather

I apologise for not being up to level today. Dressed for a long drive around the countryside and then spending a few hours crawling around in a huge warehouse containing lots of dirty old things with occasional sharp edges. Hence, the scruffy (semi-expendable) suit:

Lucky Strike, you certainly put me to shame. If I was going to do what you're doing, I'd be in what I decribe as my grubbies. My compliments.

Well, there's a dress code at work...

I have to say, that ensamble looks pretty spiffy...if a bit warm.

Thanks! It's still something like the third real day of spring here in Ultima Thule, so it wasn't warm, really.

Not at all. In fact, quite the opposite. Okay, I'm keeping that last sentence even though it makes zero sense. Nevertheless, a fine ensemble.

By the way, I hate to mention it but I can't help noticing that in every single photo you appear to have forgotten to put your camera down before posing.:D

Edit: Apologies for a very poor joke.

Last Thursday. After work, I went to choir practice, which was dismissed after 20 minutes because a severe/tornadic storm was on the way. I beat the storm home and used my time before it hit in taking pictures. :D

I do have more hair than is visible in these pictures. I bundled my hair up in back so it'd be out of my way in the rain, and it felt so good I left it like that.

Note the scary-looking radar on the monitor behind me. The civil defense sirens went off about 15 minutes later.

Button-front bias-check blouse in yellow and blue (much faded) - Walmart, 2002 ;)
Light blue denim skirt with pockets - Self-made from 1944 pattern
Light green wool cardigan - Kohl's
Athletic peeptoe wedges - Keds

Bonus: in the back hallway "storm shelter", watching the radar and demonstrating a favorite way to sit in a skirt. ;)
