Fantastic!!!!!! Sharp and yet relaxed.
(Luckily gents like you and I do not have to prove anything - like Silverstein said: I am so good, I don't have to brag!)
I like it a lot...:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Not anything spectacular today, but I'm fond of it because my mom made me my dress. It needs to be taken in a bit, but I haven't had a chance to have her do it. I like my shoes, I purchased them about 8 years ago but I've only worn them about 4 times. I just remembered them yesterday so I figured I'd wear them.

Warbaby, I like that outfit. Very well put together I think!

Quigley, your pics are always so evocative! I guess that bowtie is a clip-on? A lot of nice designs were apparently made just as clip-ons.

Paddy, you cut the Great White Hunter image flawlessly! I like those bush jackets when I see them so handsomely modeled, but I refrain from acquiring one - I am not sure about how could I justify it, unless for some outdoors activity.

CCarey, gorgeous as always!

I assembled a decidedly summery outfit today. I feel like this has some "sports" vibe, ponies or regatta events maybe... ;) Everything modern except the boater, a vintage Spanish model.

Torp, that hat looks great on you. Christy, very nice look, and I wish my mom had made me things, though she knitted and made great things for the girls in the family.

Dan D, thank you. Everyone dresses so sharply on here, so I felt my outfit was kind of plain compared to all of the amazing ones on here. :)

Memphislawyer, thank you also. It's nice that my mom sews. My aunt does a lot of knitting and crocheting. I was actually supposed to make that dress because she was supposed to teach me with that pattern and material. But, she starts to tell me how to do something and then says, "Here, let me show you". Shortly after that, she just decides to do it herself. I think this has happened at least 3 times, lol. I've decided just to give her patterns and material now.

The outfit isn't everything, you know. Much is in how you wear it...

What is it they say - it can't be taught, only learned. It's something to do with that standard of quality, something that makes it almost better to let it die out than pass it along...

I understand my mom always finishing it herself, I'd be that way too! I think sewing is a really important skill to have though.

I must say I'm extremely impressed with the way the ladies and gents here on the forum dress. I like to go and look back at older posts in this thread. So, thanks to everyone who shares their photos on this thread, they're very inspiring!
