Here is another outfit I built around another of the vintage ties I picked up yesterday. I don't think it is a real Ralph Lauren tie since the logo is actually backwards, but it still looks sharp and I got a great deal on it. I wore a Charles Tyrwhitt tattersall shirt, Ralph Lauren navy blazer, white w/ navy border ps, grey slacks, navy socks, and burgundy tassel loafers to complete the look. The outerwear I donned included a brown leather flatcap, and the same camel overcoat from this morning's OOTD. The piano piece is called "Gavot" (a "dance") and was composed by William Boyce.

I got some new things from OTAA as part of my collaboration with them. SO I have put a couple of them into this WFH outfit, though I did have an early 0700 meeting with at the office. That meant I had to stop at the ;local cafe on the way have and grab my usually coffee with an extra shot of coffee in it and some Banana Bread for sustenance. Todays outfit consist of: M.J.

While running an errand yesterday, I stopped in at one of my favorite little vintage shops and picked up a few new (used) ties. I was looking for some colors I don't have yet to round out my collection, and among those colors is purple. My criteria is strict: silk material, no tears or snags, stains, nor obnoxious, overly novel patterns. I chose to wear my Jack Victor super 120s wool suit as the base for this tie, and also a burgundy odd vest. To maintain cohesion and suited formality, I chose not to add in too many other colors or patterns, as it can be a bit difficult to pair an odd vest with a suit. The outfit was finished with burgundy tassel loafers from Allen Edmonds, burgundy watch, blue pocket square, and camel colored wool overcoat.

For those that don’t know even outside of truck driving I like to talk some skip. This ol girl is gonna need some work done to it . It’s an old realistic Navaho cb base station. I also have like 6 or 7 cb radios Ive had in rigs and pickups over the years.

Today we celebrate St. Peter’s proclamation that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Once again, the liturgical color is white. Again, I started with a white shirt. Then I chose grey trousers a silk wool blend jacket that honestly is a touch long on me, and an Irish tweed tie. As it was a cold day today, I wore my green trench coat with the green Country Gentlemen fedora that I bought together thirty years ago. I wore a Scottish cashmere scarf as well.
