I realized after wearing this jacket today that I don't like the way it fits on me.

Shame about the fit, then, because the overall pattern/colour combination of this outfit is really great.




Friday Challenge. I was hoping to put together something interesting this morning, but I overslept and so had to get ready quickly, so went straight into zero-thought, wear-what-works mode. Meh, it's OK but very dull. At least there are some elephants on the square to brighten things up.

Looking good tchoy and Pingson!


I picked up two cashmere knits the other day, 90% off so basically for free. Too bad they're in a wheat-ish color:



Hmm, whats this?







$15 navy cashmere tie

Will probably do bottle green for the second one.

Great result, assuming the colour holds fast, and a fun experiment. What dye did you use, out of curiosity? If you're going bottle green on the second, you should have got a third one, because the wheat colour is kind of nice too. Can imagine it working well with a darker, textured shirt e.g. navy chambray or the like, and a cardigan or waiscoat in a fawn or mid-brown.

Too matchy between sweater and PS?

Yes IMO. Also, what weave is the shirt? If a poplin or similar, it's too flat for the look. If it's an oxford, or the like, it's OK, but I think white's still quite a stark choice there.

Only time for a quick pic today... rushing about.


700


(something weird going on with my collar there - not how it normally sits)
I am just baffled at the fact that there's no one in those stalls ever...

That tie looks just like the one that Clag told me to return. Looking sharp though.

I only go in when there's no one there - the office is quiet enough and more women than men so the toilets are the best place for a photo!

Oops on the tie - what was yours? Mine is Dalvey (handmade).
