WDIWT...5/22/13

It is suppose to be a 86 degree day today in the city but it is still very gray outside, however it is incredibly humid...that you can even feel it inside. With this in mind I kept it with light color and fabrics again. The jacket, the shirt and shoes are things I've already had but the trousers I picked up a while back but the weather was too cold to wear them. They are an off-white with a faint pinstripe from H&M that I picked up for $5 or $10. Ended up picking out my least wrinkled shirt this morning and my one unstructured blazer, it's not the greatest combination in the world but I do like it. (This is what happens when you were going to wear jeans and then check that it's going to be 86 and decide to go with light clothing and mother nature still goes the cloudy route) The lighting sucks since I decided to take them inside today.

Shirt: American Living White/Pink Micro-Check L/S Shirt via JCP-$5

New Pick-Ups from J. Crew Factory...Online

Thanks to the Niketalk brethren for posting about the 30% off and free shipping sale on J. Crew Factory, I picked up these awesome ties for $10.15 each plus tax.

The navy with red and gold anchor is 100% silk. The blue and gray stripe one is a cotton/linen blend, perfect for spring and summer.


WDIWT...5/15/13

As the theme this week on NikeTalk Dressing Better thread seems to be wearing suits for no reason, I figured I join. Although I do have a reason for wearing one today, parent association meeting this evening but even then it is usually "too much" even for a parent association meeting as well no one wears suits to work at my job. Personally I feel comfortable in a suit, regardless of where I'm at. Took some quick pictures and I probably should have not put my hands in my pocket.

Details:
Suit: Indochino Brown Tweed 2-piece suit via Indochino-$349 part of a suit deal
Shirt: Stafford Light Blue L/S Dress Shirt via JCP-$5 or $8
Tie: Stafford Navy/White Polka Dot Silk Tie-$8
Shoes: Florsheim Brown Captoes via eBay-$15
