WDIWT...2/12/13

Decided to break up my Indochino 3-piece suit and wear just the trousers and the waistcoat. Still not in the wearing a tie mood but still doesn't mean you can't look put-together. I wore a simple white dress shirt also from Indochino with it. The pictures aren't the best, I apologize for that.

WDIWT...2/11/13

Decided to stick with shades of brown today and likely will be a theme for the week or at least for a couple of days. Wore a couple of recent pick-ups as well. Here you see that different shades of brown when put together can work. The shirt is the gingham shirt featured here and the trousers featured here. The shawl cardigan sweater is also a recent pick up, you can see it here and here. The shoes are a recent pick up from eBay and I really love the two-tone brown leather on these cap toes with the medallion by Florsheim.

H&M Sales & A Good Cause

Went to H&M today primarily to donate some clothing that both my wife and I have meant to donate for awhile now. H&M is running a promotion; for lack of better words, where if you donate a bag of clothes (any brand) they will give you a 15% off one item (they gave me 2 for whatever reason). Yea 15% off one item is spectacular but at the end of the day it is for a great cause and you are getting something in return, compared to dropping it off at a donation center.

After donating the clothing, I went and browsed and to say the least they have A LOT of sales racks for both men and women. As a guy I know that most of the time the men's sales racks are limited to probably one, if two at most, their were about 5-6 racks of sales stuff today at mine. Everything from trousers, to shirts, to sweaters. Prices ranged from $5-20. I found two today; flannel trousers and tweed trousers, all for under $13 with tax.

Stafford Gingham Shirts, $11 each

JCPenney has some great deals on shirts that should be staples in your wardrobe. Gingham shirts look as great and appropriate during the fall and winter as they look in the spring and summer. Finding them for cheap can be difficult, JCP's new men's line has an amazing price point and of pretty good quality. The shirts are a broadcloth and a 60/40 Cotton/Poly mix, and come in white/navy and white/brown, I got it for $11 as they were running a 25% off Stafford deal last week but even at regular price, $15, they are a great deal.
