Had an unusual gig this evening. It was a wedding reception, and the happy couple wanted me to blend in with the guests and use my magic to mess with people during the cocktail hour and reception.
Now you’ve seen my normal costume, so I needed decent cocktail attire. Additionally, I’ve lost 35 pounds due to my last three months of being in and out of hospitals and my kidney stone surgery. All is well, but I needed new pieces that fit.
So here’s what I came up with after a trip to Men’s Wearhouse:
2 white dress shirts by Pronto Uomo (their house brand). My collar has gone from 19” to 17”! I chose a 17.5” x 35 so I could move comfortably.
New blue Kenneth Cole Awearneas vest (98% wool),
Combined with:
My existing tan dress trousers, and
my old faithful Peter Millar midnight blue blazer.
Finished with tan support socks and
Light brown Florsheim cap toe Oxford shoes.
The final photo is an extraordinarily flattering fashion-style drawing by an artist who was also working the wedding reception.
All went well.
