What are you wearing today??

[retrogirl1941]

Thank you ShooShoo, Darhling and cherry lips! The burgandy dress needs to shrink since it has too much "wrap" in the front(its one of those nifty wrap hosue dresses that are oh so comfortable!) but, other htan that I thought it was perfect.

[Edit] These pictures, as will usually be the case here, were taken after an 11-hour workday, approximately 15 hours after first dressing for the day. The trousers are quite wrinkled, the top button on the vest is unintentionally open in most of the pictures, the shoes appear to be spotted from some stray substance, the pocket square has lost its will to live, and I look like a plate of stupid with a side of please put me out of my misery.

^ Hello Indiana!

I really like your cufflinks! I must say you look very good today, there are all sorts of neat little details that I like.

 

[Slim Portly]

I must say you look very good today, there are all sorts of neat little details that I like.

But what about the clothes?

 

[Darhling]

But what about the clothes?

Well that's a given, you allways look good! But I really, really like the third and fourth picture.. What can I say, I love the look of a shirt and a waistcoat.

 

[metropd]

Slim, That tie is impeccable!!!!!!!!!

 

[MissS]

Gosh, I'm away for the day and all these swanky ladies and gents come out to play! You all look stunning!

 

[Nick D]

Slim, nice look! If you don't mind me asking, does the key go to a lock, or is it just decoration?

 

[Slim Portly]

Slim, nice look! If you don't mind me asking, does the key go to a lock, or is it just decoration?

No, it's just a mass-produced charm intended for decoration. I bought the watch on eBay from a supplier in China two weeks ago for five whole dollars (!) and just received it a couple of days ago. It's mechanical, no battery, but it's stem wound and doesn't require a key. It came with the chain that it is attached to in the pictures but a not very asthetic pocket hook. I removed the hook and added the silver T-bar which I picked up at my local notions store. There I also found a length of chain intended to be a necklace, which was the wrong thickness for a fob to match the original watch chain but it will do until I can get something better. They also had a small bag of four decorative keys, two like the one pictured here and two of a slightly different style. Putting that all together was a nice little weekend project. I'll post those pics again in a seperate thread and more details about the watch.

Slim, That tie is impeccable!!!!!!!!!

From you, sir, that is a compliment of high order. I thank you.
[Edit] Now that I think about it, I migt be able to find its twin. Would you be interested enough for me to attempt tracking it down?

 

[Darhling]

one of those days where I felt like I had nothing in my closet to wear, so nothing special today.

Navy dress with two white lines sewn in at the front and in the back
White patent leather slingbacks

EDIT : and now I spy a loose thread - great, I have been running about all day with that!
