The Turtleneck Sweater

Friday, October 24th, 2008

A cashmere turtleneck may be one of the more frequently worn articles of clothing in my wardrobe. This one is by Michael Kors. Paired with a twenty-five year old Harris tweed jacket and Bally suede monkstrap shoes, the combination is good for an easy and elegant day look. Especially when a tie isn’t required and it’s a bit blustery. The trousers are flat front, wool twill in a deep teal-charcoal that is echoed in the weave of the tweed. If I were to flip up the collar of the coat to ward off the wind you would see two buttons that are used to attach a throat latch. Throw a cap and a scarf into the mix and you’re ready for almost anything that comes your way.

Except an Indian Summer afternoon.

Happy casual Friday.

Friday Bank Casual

Friday, June 6th, 2008

Off to the bank, a chore always, to find out what’s happened to the cheques I ordered….

I used to always wear a tie to the bank, today I am taking a different tack and braving the heat in a linen blazer, open collar twill tattersall shirt, sage linen trousers, herringbone socks and cream and olive saddle shoes. I hope that the service at the teller doesn’t reflect my more casual appearance.

Then it’s off to the Home Depot to scope out RL shimmery paint colours for the front hall (When what I really should be doing is going through that pile of books and magazines on the club chair in the library…) Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? I’m aiming for a pearlescent effect.

Happy Friday and don’t forget tomorrow’s First Annual Easy and Elegant International Smartly Dressed Scene.

A very casual seersucker slacks and white OCBD, web canvas belt, white bucks… just another option for the polo shirt/khakis crowd…. (forgive the wrinkles, I was in too much of a rush today…)
