What are you wearing today??

[thunderw21]

Going a bit modern today.

First time in over a year I haven't worn anything vintage while dressing up (okay, my garters are vintage but no one sees 'em).


Merona suit from Target:

Space Invader socks from American Eagle:

Greek mofit-style cuff links (I really like these):

Cheers!

Nice hat too

Late 30's early 40's American wool DB 3pc suit. 30's tie. Turn of century chain and gold fob. RedWing Gentleman Traveller boots (thought I'd try them out with a suit to see if it worked, and they pass muster). Stetson "Nostalgia" Fedora in Caribou. Cafe Latte by PM!

Paddy, I liked this so much that I had to post a larger image. I particularly like the 4 pocket, 6 button vest. Can we see the entire outfit including the shoes sometime?

Hot Damn!

Today's office wear. The vest is a very rough tweed that appears oatmeal at first but in brighter light the green really shows.

Ahem, I uh just wanted to give a ladies perpective

And yet you still look perfectly well turned out. I wonder why I've never seen suits like that at Target.

Screw the Labor Day rule...it's 60 degrees and sunny. I donned my straw fedora today with a Brooks Brothers camelhair coat, gray trousers, a vintage tie and Allen Edmonds shoes. You can't see it clearly but the tie is rust and matches the windowpane stripes in the jacket.

You know, it's funny. That wasn't my favorite ensemble and yet I received such nice comments here and IRL. I thank you very much, dear lady, for taking the time to make such a pleasant comment.

I wonder why, myself. I have no less than six suit from Target (black, charcoal, charcoal pinstripe, dove pinstripe, and taupe), and I'm looking at a new one for next payday. My local Targets usually carry three or four at a time with large selections of sizes, they offer them as suit seperates, and the quality is fine for the price. I always have to have the sleeves tailored but other than that I am happy with their suits.

Right now I believe they are carrying a grey sharkskin (this one as a rare for them 3-piece), a light brown, and a couple of pinstripes. The sharkskin is too close in shade to another suit that I already have but I picked up the vest anyway. They also have a selection of "funky" (sorry) vests in the young men's section, most of which are silly but a couple of them actually look good with suits as odd pieces and even have a retro look to them.

I have to ask and no disrespect intended but do you consider 60 degrees hot?

NICE LOOK!

You're looking spiffy, BRS! Can we see a full shot of the whole ensemble? How about a close-up of that groovy tie?

 

[Kermez]

I think you look more than a little like Christian Slater in that pic.

From last week:

What is that tucked in your pocket there?

This is a great example of how just a vintage tie can bring a vintage feel to an entire outfit, modern or otherwise. Nice look. I'll refrain from calling the fashion police this time about your white after Labor Day violation. lol

If I were a man, that's what I would wear.

Heck, I'm tempted to go find myself a copy of that outfit and wear it around town, anyway.

You look very sophisticated, and I'm just gaga for argyle, so your sweater(vest?) is driving me crazy!

Tan Stripe shirt
'30s brown tie

Semag watch (needs a new crystal)

Thanks for the kind words. The sweater vest is from JC Penney. It is one of two argyle sweaters I bought there. They are acrylic but I don't mind at all. I find the expensive Italian wool sweaters to not be worth the money. These are $20 each and I love the colors.

Love the shirt and the cufflinks.
