What are you wearing today??

[freebird]

Yesterday at my Brother's funeral.

 

[Dr Doran]

Mike in Seattle -- thank you for the compliments.

Dahrling, you couldn't look bad even if you had Dinerman's jacket on.

Dinerman - I love you man, but that is the ugliest jacket I have ever seen in my entire existence.

Freebird -- I am horribly sorry about your brother. I lost my sister two and a half years ago and a very dear friend the following summer.

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Retro Hobo?

I think you still pull it off.

 

[maggiethespy]

Dahling, Cherry_lips, and Diamondback

Thanks you guys-- you are always so sweet! I feel like I have my own little fan club with the three of you around!

 

[ex812]

Where might I get an application to this fan club???

 

[Darhling]

Thank you Doran, I really needed that .

Freebird, I am sad to hear about your loss

[Dinerman]

That's a great looking ensemble Dinerman, but how about letting us see more of those shoes?

Boots are two tone- cordovan and black

That's how you do it.

Btw, what cap is that?

cap is a "personality cap". It's amazing how different the vintage caps are in cut than new ones. They just don't make caps in this shape anymore.

Dinerman - I love you man, but that is the ugliest jacket I have ever seen in my entire existence.

lol lol Yeah, it's a little out there. Damn hippies

Darhling is the main reason i keep checking back on this thread

11 out of 10

Very simple and classic outfit today.

silkblouse with adorable bow in the back
Brown/grey pencilskirt
40s style suede pumps
seamed stockings
vintage lavender colored pearls
Taupe cropped cardigan (not shown)


I know my picture quality is horrible (and I look awful because of my insomnia) but at least the outfit is looking sharp .

 

[alden405]

Hey there

I missed this,sorry

I hope all of your troubles are behind you

Sincerely

Sam

P.S you look like a million bucks

Yesterday at my Brother's funeral.

 

[Diamondback]

Freebird, my condolences.

Dahrling, there you go again...

Maggie, that's because you do, as ex812 just proved.

OT: Dinerman, you described everything else, what about the chili-dog? I'm always on the lookout for good eats...

Thank you all for your kind wishes and warm thoughts. He outlived the Dr's predictions.They said he would only live to be 9,he was 56. Randy had been in the nursing home for not quite a year, but the staff all loved him. He was one of the happiest people I've known, he will be missed by all who knew him, but he's in a much better place now.

 

[WildCelt]

Gijoe, that pose screams "Bogie" at me. It's great.

 

[Carlisle Blues]

Sorry for your loss Freebird.

 

[Macheath]

Great as usual, but I hope you weren't wearing that chili dog by the end of the day (I certainly would have been ).

 

[chanteuseCarey]

Dinerman, GIJoe, and all the rest here...

Everyone looks just terrific and the hats are really great!

 

[Tomasso]

Nice!

There was at least one hippie (and the requisite motivation) involved with the creation of this coat.

First my condolences for your loss...

Second, my great-grandmother was much the same. They told her parents she wouldn't live through childhood due to a heart defect. When she did, it was "she won't make it through adolescence". Then it was "she'll never have kids". She was in her late 80s, had 3 children, and untold scores of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a few great-great-grandchildren when we lost her. Doctors....

Amen, brother. Someday, though, someone is going to make a small fortune by accurately reproducing the vintage ones. It shouldn't be rocket science.
