Great fabrics are a must, IMO.

So are congrats due on a promotion? That day calls for the great shoes too.
Surfer girls. Reminds me of the movie Point Break set in the California beach. Did you take pictures with a surf board??

A person in the immediate upper level is retiring and it's being merged into my position in a few months. Happy days trolling C-D may be coming to an end, yikes. That means I actually have to do some work, can't live off my applications and automated workflows. I've seen that person's outlook calendar. Per week, it's littered with ridiculous amount of meetings and work sessions

Oh, I picked up a pair of Steve Madden from Lord & Taylor clearance, about 55 bucks some time back, amazing, amazing shoes, let me get pictures some time. Black and it seems to go nicely with grey pants and lavender paisley ties. Looks like this one, but fuller body and plain black throughout. My first Steve Madden.

That freaky tie up there. I'll wear it for my wedding Just kidding.

Antlerguy, you know... your arms won't grow that much unless you are doing some serious body building (i.e., specific bodybuilding for growth, not strength), so gym away.

Here we go. Threw this together for an event, I don't over think or really give a **** about fashion. Can't really tell what shirt I'm wearing, it's checked, some gray-ish blue color with white in it. I don't know, I think I'm half colorblind. Anyways, I dress real simple to avoid any confusion in color or pattern, yanno.

My phone is red, not pink.



And, I like these ones, antlerguy.

Great shoes, brother. Sharp blazer. You could throw in a white shirt and that would be better. Those pants, that's how I wear mine, it's sort of closely lines the legs.

Tie matching is a cool pastime, especially matching patterned shirts.

eh. Shirt I'm wearing matches much better than white. Too bad you can't see the shirt closer.

Blue Tonal Herringbone

Each of the shirt is costing about 110 bucks and that's tragic considering I fished out an amazing dress shirt out of clearance at 24 bucks last month or so.

So I'm getting the pink tonal and lavender herringbones to boot.

Time to fish for the appropriate ties. I usually put herringbone patterns on the tie, now it's the other way round.

I wanted to share this one.

Charles Tyrwhitt never goes wrong. Fit isn't as perfect as Paul Frederick, but I can't say I'm not pleased.
