What are you wearing today??

[Josephine]

Add me to the monkey arm club. I'm resigned to just pushing my sleeves up. :/

 

[imoldfashioned]

Such a lovely suit Miss Hannah! You look so pretty!

Glad I'm not the only one. I always have to have my suit sleeves taken down.

There is one benefit to having monkey arms. If you wear a nice watch, everyone will get to see it easily.

And I find it very easy to swing from tree to tree.

!!

And don't forget about showing off one's cufflinks.

Aye, but I've found that my kuckles can get particularly dirty judging by what type of flooring I happen to be over [huh]

And that's why God invented moist towelettes.

Berber is usually pretty forgiving.

I have the opposite problem & always have sleeves that are too long.

Today for a 2 hour train journey (I must be crazy) and an evening watching my darlings band I chose this;

I may, or may not, wear a hat. I've not decided yet lol

Those sleeves are meant to be short, I don't have monkey arms

woah there ***y mama!

So I would have stayed home today, and I might not even have gotten dressed up today, because my temperature is actually running a degree higher than yesterday. But yesterday afternoon I got a call from a veep who said the CEO had requested me to help with training sessions at 6:00 AM (for 3rd shift manufacturing) and 1:00 PM today. What can one say? I have a moody CEO who once went ballistic on me for missing a meeting in the middle of a blizzard. I don't want to risk his wrath if I can help it. So I pulled myself out of bed at an ungodly hour and somehow made the 45 minute drive to arrive by 6:00. The only consolation is, I'll be out of here promptly at 2:00, since I'll be at low ebb by then (actually, I am already) and will have put in eight hours by that point anyway.

That's my sob story, and I'm sticking to it!

I second that Dolly - you are looking smokin' hot! Talk about dangerous curves...

 

[imoldfashioned]

Love your outfit Dolly! Is that a ruffled neckline I see?

Yesterday; couldn't decide between two tartan ties:

The overall effect:

(The shoes are in need of a brushing, or whatever you do with suede.)

I then proceeded to spill coffee on the waistcoat, and ended up so:

This has taught me not to drink coffee while knotting my tie. Just as well, I suppose, as the first thing I did was inspecting a flat totally damaged by fire (see bottom pic - I wore one of those CSI-style paper coveralls.)

 

[Lucky Strike]

Today, hiding at another branch, trying to get some work done and away with:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/****tstykke/styleforum%203/DSC03420.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/****tstykke/styleforum%203/DSC03435.jpg

The shirt is getting overripe, even for my tastes, so this will be its last outing before the dustbin.

 

[Jerekson]

Worth fedora, 30's glasses, and Cooper jacket.

 

[JEEP]

Lucky Strike: Elegant - and with a remarkable attention to detail, as ever :eusa_clap

Jerkeson: Looking cool


Regards.

Looking sharp, Liam Neeson.

Seriously, the resemblance is eerie.

Health update: Still running a temperature. Came to work anyway. But I should be at home in bed hugging a teddy bear.

Navy SB 3B ventless suit
BB navy/white striped spread collar shirt
BB navy patterned tie
Vintage scissors tie slide
Navy polka-dotted silk pocket square, puff fold
Vintage trout fly, left lapel
Medium brown leather belt with gold buckle
Fossil watch with gold/silver band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Calvin Klein Truth cologne
Navy ribbed OTC socks
Medium brown split-toe lace-ups
Nautica black DB wool topcoat (still cold in Wisconsin)
Black leather gloves
J. Crew navy wool scarf with kelly green stripes
Black wide-brim fedora with black band, feather, pearl hatpin

These medium brown shoes with the navy suit have always drawn favorable reactions: I was once told flat-out, "That's very attractive." The shoes are no-names, but they do indeed look nice.

 

[Vintage Betty]

Lucky Strike - I loved your storyl I couldn't stop laughing. And I must say, you look much better with a head on your body.

Dolly - you look incredible! Would love to see another picture of you in the dress with better lighting.

Here was me yesterday; lunch meeting with my boss(es), staff and one of our vendors:

1950's tailored jacket
1940's reproduction wide legged pants
1940's silver reproduction heels
silk shirt

and the jacket without the fuzziness:
