What are you wearing today??

[bond]

Looks great! Wouldn't say you look snobby just intently focused, good twirl!

 

[Rudie]

Quite lovely. I wish more women today would wear such beautiful dresses.

Also, if I can cheat and post what I wore last weekend (I just recently begin snapping photos of what I've been wearing, but I don't get to wear fun vintage clothes for work, so this really only applies to the weekend)…

1950s oval polka dot day dress (so comfortable!)

And over that I wore this 1950s vintage varsity jacket...

I've been on the hunt for a vintage varsity jacket for a while now, and really wanted one with an awesome patch, and preferably not someone's name (because I feel slightly strange wearing someone else's name, but also because that confuses people). I must confess, I am very ill-coordinated, and this is probably the closest I'll ever come to athleticism. But you know, athletes can have their sweat and muscle cramps, I'll just take the jackets.

Thank you, bond! It IS tough taking photos while twirling, I'm glad people understand!

Thanks, Rudie! I rather feel the same way looking through this thread, and wishing more guys I knew dressed so dapper!

Very cool, Lady B, and even cooler that you have some of your grandmothers' stuff to throw into the mix.

Today was spent working in the garden and wearing overalls. Mine are blue denim and her's are pink (of course).

I love it!!

A few days ago, I made another new necktie. Today, I wear it.

Good job!

Vintage tie. Jacket, trousers, and shirt my work.

That is a very impressive mustache.

You always look so happy. What's your secret?

 

[Big J]

1950s gingham dress, 1930s or 1940s (-ish? I'm not 100% sure) white beaded purse that once belonged to my maternal grandmother, and a necklace that was my paternal grandmother's (not that you can really see either of those, but I'm sentimental about them). It's been in the low 60s the last couple of weekends, which is good enough for me to break out the sandals and imagine it's already summer!

P.S. Sorry I look really snobby in this photo, haha. I discovered today that I make involuntary strange faces when spinning around. lol Who knew! I'd never seen photographs of myself spinning before today, but the full skirts of 1950s "new look" dresses were made for twirling around!

Very stylish. You look great!

 

[Big J]

All late 20s/early 30s except the shoes!

BUNNY!

Very dapper indeed!

 

[PantherMkV]

HamilcarBarca3 your suit/boater combination looks fantastic!
Hyena Stomp that outfit with the white trousers really is sporting! Great combo.
LadyBaltimore the gingham dress looks beautiful; great look!

I wore this outfit today, though with a flatcap instead of a boater. The pic's from a shoot a few months back.

That boater looks great on you. I always think that if I wear one, I'll just look like a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, or something. Oh, my big round face.

 

[herringbonekid]

after my Harold Lloyd DVD binge i was looking forward to trying a boater on, as a potential new hat option.
didn't work on me AT ALL. very disappointed.

That is a home run dress. IMHO, that dress is never in or out of fashion because it is a classic - classic lines, design and color. Well done (spin execution - spot on / face focused, not snobby).

The polka dot dress is cute (love the sneakers and socks with it) and the varsity jacket is vintage cool, but the gingham dress is the super star.

I'm in love.

 

[Claudio]

nice clobber there Big J! Bravo!

 

[Big Man]

Nice. Very nice.

 

[Dreamofgilgamesh]

You look delightful, really you do.

 

[LadyBaltimore]

Thank you all so much for the kind comments! :reface:

PantherMkV, have you ever seen the HBO show Boardwalk Empire? Your look definitely reminds me of some of the ensembles worn by men on the show, and I do mean that as a compliment!
