Just invested in a three piece, belted back, American 1930's (yes, you heard right!) suit, in navy wool with a fine blue window-pane design, and nicely vented pockets.
This will be nice for the autumn and should cause the usual stir/stare at work as I march in to exclamations of, "Funeral or Wedding...?" Oh, the dress-down vogue of today's workplace is not por moi!
Jeans and tee-shirts are part of the social wall-paper these days!! who wants to be wall-paper..? Better to be a picture on the wall (yes, I might look like a Dali piece of work, but still...haha).
So here's a little bit of nostalgia and turning the clock back to those Golden Era days of Gable, Grant, Cooper..et al. Joe, line up the drinks please...
VERY nice, Paddy!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Paddy! Back when I was a regular member of the workforce, a group of like-minded friends and I instituted "anti-casual Mondays" and dressed to the nines in vintage. It always made Mondays something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteBRAVO, Paddy! What a stunning suit - the belted backs are my personal favourite.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a gorgeous find! Of course it's not the weather right now, but I am looking forward to seeing the complete picture with YOU in this beauty. Lucky co-workers!
