Wow, I agree with what was said above! Had my teachers dressed so stunningly I would have paid a hell of a lot more attention!!! 
Why would I feel self conscious? Seriously, I don't understand the question. Do you mean because of the "costumey" look of some of my outfits? If so, not one bit. I love dressing this way, I receive compliments all day long (especially from the ladies), and people remember me. My co-workers wear jeans and t-shirts, but if I show up without a tie it's a scandal. I know it's old-fashioned, but I try to do it with class and a sense of humor.donCarlos said:

My seamstress neglected to fix one suit coat button and therefore my rudimentary sewing skills were called into play at the last minute. The suit is a very fine pinstripe, and the drape and heft of the fabric feel wonderful. Also debuting was my new Scala Homburg. Rounding out the ensemble were my black and white spectators, white tonal stripe dress shirt, red paisley silk tie, silver collar bar, nickel-plated sleeve garters, black satin braces, Swarovski crystal cufflinks and tie pin, silver double Edward watch chain, and a red carnation boutonnière.
