    What are you wearing today??

    Telling someone they have a nice smile and saying that alone is not at all sexist, and I have stressed that numerous times already, comments saying otherwise are missing the point entirely. This is about whether or not women should have to smile, even if it's not natural, just because other...

    What are you wearing today??

    Oh no, I believe you, and will take your word for it. :) With the exception of telling me to smile, I have never found any of your comments to be in the least offensive, so please don't feel you'd have to tip toe around me (or as I said before, never am I offended by someone simply saying "I...

    Eddie, always love your ensembles, you look like you could have just stepped out of a technicolor film at any given moment.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you, I really appreciate you admitting that this just isn't, in most cases, something men are ever told, but something that's regularly expected, even demanded, of women. Like you said, this thread is about the vintage clothing we all share a love for, not about our faces or our bodies...

    What are you wearing today??

    Fading Fast, I really appreciate your response. I understand that the right word choice can make or break the tone and meaning of a statement, and in the specific case of "admonish," I took it as a "reprimand," when you meant it more gently. On one hand, I realize that many men really don't...

    What are you wearing today??

    Fading Fast, I missed that previously, but to be frank, it wouldn't have made a difference in whether or not I smiled in a photo, anyway. I don't owe any stranger a smile, just because they think it's nice or that I look better with it. I've constantly been told I look angry/sad/like I just...

    What are you wearing today??

    Eddie, I love your archive outfit, especially those glasses! Don't think it's a mismatch at all (but really what is "matching" anyway? in many places I've traveled overseas, they think the whole concept of only some colors match with other colors, is ridiculous)! This is one of the last...

    itsbruce, that looks amazing! Thanks for sharing some more photos of it with me! PantherMkV, thank you! Looking very handsome, and despite that suit not being vintage, I think the touch of a vintage style hat (or is it actually vintage), gives the whole look a vintage feel. Also I have a lot...

    What are you wearing today??

    itsbruce, what kind of event were you at? Everyone looks wonderfully vintage! Love seeing all those hats especially. Today's "ensemble" (I actually think you gentlemen show much more creativity in what you wear than I, as there's often multiple layers/pieces, whereas, I basically just throw a...

    What are you wearing today??

    Metatron, thank you! I think you must have been best-dressed at that metal concert! As for the garments hanging up, most of them I've collected on my travels across Asia. I wear most of them, except the traditional Rajasthani lehenga and choli, above the dresser, and there's also another choli...

    What are you wearing today??

    I have actually Googled that, and I'm sure there are some artisans still out there who could repair it, I just couldn't find any, least not locally…I would prefer not to have to ship it, although if anyone has a recommendation, let me know! Thank you! There's so many old rowhouses in...

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you! None of my clothes are tailored (if by that you meant, taken to an actual tailor), however, I have been buying vintage online for long enough now, to have figured out what measurements I want in a garment. Now, granted, it can be a bit tough to find something I like, that fits, and is...

    What are you wearing today??

    Yesteryear, love your whole look…I feel like you could fit right in to an episode of Twin Peaks, which I've never seen but for one episode, but have so many friends who are obsessed with that show, I feel I can adequately make references to it!

    What are you wearing today??

    The dress and straw purse are both from the 1940s and two of my favorites (I mean, really, I carry that straw purse with almost everything). Sorry that photo is a little washed out, it's from my phone. Here you can see the print of the dress a bit better…and me being really excited about...

    What are you wearing today??

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who strategically dresses for dining, and if I'm home, I'm honestly in the habit of literally just taking whatever dress I'm wearing off, and diving into a bowl of spaghetti in only a slip or what not. Unfortunately, I can't pull that off at restaurants. lol

    What are you wearing today??

    Thank you all so much for the kind comments! :reface: PantherMkV, have you ever seen the HBO show Boardwalk Empire? Your look definitely reminds me of some of the ensembles worn by men on the show, and I do mean that as a compliment!

    Big Man, that tree is a beauty! I get so excited when trees begin blooming in spring!

    Thank you, bond! It IS tough taking photos while twirling, I'm glad people understand! :D Thanks, Rudie! I rather feel the same way looking through this thread, and wishing more guys I knew dressed so dapper!

    What are you wearing today??

    Also, if I can cheat and post what I wore last weekend (I just recently begin snapping photos of what I've been wearing, but I don't get to wear fun vintage clothes for work, so this really only applies to the weekend)… 1950s oval polka dot day dress (so comfortable!) And over that I wore...

    Show us your vintage home!

    Wow, Stearman! I didn't even know they made door hinges so decorative. We're missing out in this modern age! Now I'm going to be bored by regular door hinges, haha. On a general note, there's a neighborhood here in Baltimore, Roland Park, which was the first planned suburban community in the...
