Wow, Carey! Now it's your turn to make me swoon! What a great photo. I absolutely adore that 'petit' smile on your face. Very well done, my fair lady! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

But its an adorable accessory!!

:arated: So true!

 

[Mario]

Alan -- What a great outfit. I really like the jacket! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Mario]

My goodness, Mario. You remind me so much of my PawPaw when he was a young man.

Well, now tell me: is that a good thing?

And by the way: you've already managed to pass the 'New In Town' tag and have become an '"A" List Customer' so your postcount obviously isn't too bad...

Well, now tell me: is that a good thing?

Mario,

My mother's step-father was the coolest man I ever knew. He was born in 1917, and a medic in the army during WWII. My fondest memories of my childhood involve my PawPaw, so I would say its a good thing. You both have the same build, bone structure, and stance. That photograph stirs up some fantastic memories for me.

Your outfit looks wonderful, but your little one is too much. May we know the name of that treasure?

If only babies, like purses, had built-in handles...

Seems that I nailed down a very particular vintage look for you with that photo. Well, then I'm happy that it brings back those fond memories. My pleasure.

I made very very lovely discovery today. A 30's ski suit jacket by Atlas (the same company whose catalogs I've been showing around the lounge). It's wonderful. High waist, virtually unused and most importantly.. exactly my size.

 

[mike]

Fantastic look! Which boots are those?!

 

[sproily]

Thanks! They are balmoral boots by a Swedish company. Bobby Burns Refined. The quality is not worth mentioning (cemented) but they look the part.

 

[Scotus]

Sproily, as usual, you are able to put together an outfit with perfection. Your photographic skills are also to be admired.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Great jacket, Sproily. I also admire your skills to combine your outfits. I wouldn't wear breeches myself but...well... I live in germany you know? Don't mention the war. lol

 

[sproily]

Scotus, I hope you mean photogenic, because these photos were taken by my very talented girlfriend

Flat, breeches are quite well in the Finnish culture and are referred to as (roughly) "boot trousers". So they don't have that bad military connotations. Very traditional Finnish piece of clothing.

Perhaps I wouldn't wear them if I were german too, though lol

Great look Sproily!
