A few weeks ago I asked for any feedback people had on clothes valets (a place to stage your outfit for the next day). A few had some great pieces but many noted having no experience. Per their request, here is my feedback on the valet I purchased on Black Friday via Amazon from Proman Products. Great color, sturdy design easy to assemble. The top sections with slots and drawers was what set this apart from other options. It has a basic electrical extension cord to charge a phone (etc), but I will likely remove this as all of the area are too small to hold a large smartphone. I like the wood at the base for shoes as it forces me to check the condition of my shoes the night before. The shapes hanger in the back is perfectly size for my should sizing in my tailored jackets. The ere is nearly space for everything with one major omission: the dress shirt. The hooks underneath are too low to the ground so I have taken to hanging the shirt off of the top of the suit hanger, which forebodes of scratching the nice wood finish on the hanger. I give this a 4 out of 5 stars.

Robin and I went out this evening to celebrate Finnish Independence Day. My outfit today includes my walnut Chelseas, dark denim, a brown on brown sweater, a white shirt with blue stripes evoking the Finnish flag and a diamond point red, blue and white bow tie. Today is also St. Nicholas Day so remember to but your shoes out on the porch this evening.
