Friday after work Robin and I drove over to Jamestown New York to attend The Jamestown Scandinavian Festival. It is just a little over four hours from Columbus. We met up with our good friend RuthAnne Anhney who was there teaching straw work. We did the tourist thing and took our pictures in front of the Giant Dala Horse. The cardboard gentleman is a Swedish King. My outfit was put together to give a Scandinavia feel and the colors were based on the Norwegian Flag. I am wearing red denim trousers, a white with blue striped shirt, a blue waist coat, red cowboy tie, walnut Chelsea boots and a blue straw fedora. Robin is wearing a violet skirt with a complimentary patterned blouse and a floral headdress she made earlier at the festival. RuthAnne is wearing a white dress with a necklace. We took turns taking the pictures.

My regular Tuesday Chiro appointment, and to kick up todays sartorial Splendor I have used one of my new OTAA shirts. I do love the look of a Winchester (Contrast Collar) Shirt. This one in and Azure and White Colourway is so soft and comfortable from the outset I cant wait to see how it feels as I wear it. The French Cuff and Shirt Collar have a gorgeous diagonal textured pattern that adds some terrific visual depth up close. The only thing I would change on it is the lack of removable Collar Stays. I have also added my New OTAA Blue MoP Cufflinks and the new OTAA Crème Brûlée Navy Stripe necktie. I hope you have a terrific evening and wake up to a magnificent Tuesday.

It was my icebreaker for my second pathway, Engaging Humor. We all had a fantastic laugh. Probably could have turned on the flash on my phone camera. It was perfect Winter weather to wear my tweed sports coat.
