What are you wearing today??

[JohnnyGringo]

This is me all tuxed up enroute to a Masonic function last night. I'm wearing a new Carrot & Gibbs Bow Tie, which, by the way, tied beautifully. I was uncertain about the choice of hat though-yes or no?

 

[Rittmeister]

I love the combo. Chevalier used to wear boaters with tuxes. Great look.

Thank you so much! I love having fresh flowers in my hair.. I haven't seen that movie, but I will try and find it now!

It really is! You will like it-im sure of it

I guess some of the ladies here who have been to the movies lately can guess my inspiration for this outfit.

Grey widelegged dresspants
Grey waistcoat
Simple white dress shirt
Babyblue & white tie
Tie pinned to waistcoat with a Chanel brooch
Black courtshoes
Black hat from Gucci (I only wear it when driving, so my hair doesn't get super fluffed up by the wind).

GENTLEMEN: Feel free to correct my way of tying a tie, since I only know the Windsor but isn't very experienced.

The one I was wearing is obviously the one on the left, I'd bet it's from the 1940s; the other three I just picked up at goodwill for 6$ each and are modern, but they're pretty nice.

Those are some swell ties, Desdinova. I still like the tropical one the most. Good deal there. Sometimes Goodwill has some decent deals and you'll be amazed to find some nice vintage items from time to time.

Oooo thanks everyone for your kind worms

Rittmeister; LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE the shoes!!!!

And Darhling, I particularly like that outfit! Big fan of headwear of all kinds & you never let me down

Today I'm attempting a casual 40s feel I think...

You even got a smile too, you lucky things!

I want to meet Famous Dave the big floaty pig & eat his deliecious ribs. I imagine he is like Bloatys Pizza Hog lol We don't have rib places over here. Or Taco Bell. I want to try Taco Bell. mmmm food...

Rittmeister - Absolutely love those trousers! The style of the leg is simply fantastic. Exceedingly jealous

Dollydaydream - look fabulous! If only everyone in the W.Midlands dresed like you! Loved yesterdays high collar and todays casual look. Bag is ever so cute

Darrrling - wow as always, the grey and white combination SO works for you and the wide legged trousers are gorgeous! I like the tie as it is I have to say, it works perfectly for the overall look


Btw - also love the brooch and the blouse, are they 3/4 length sleeves or full length rolled slightly?

Heyy, its not only the ladies who have watched it lol

Everyone looks lovely lately on here!

 

[BellyTank]

Light weight wool pants copied from WWII Italian Navy officer's pants
Spectators from Spain

Nice pants- they DO look very Italian to me and nicely different from what we usually see.
Do you have the WW2 Navy pants..? I'd like to see them(have them).
I have a bit of WW2 vintage Italian khaki.

lol well it is a great movie.. especially fashion wise..

I do really like grey as opposed to black, so you will be seeing more of that on me in the future..

Pip-darrrling, the shirt is 3/4 sleeves, a lenght that suits me the best I think.

Dolly - Thank you so much! I really like headwear aswell, from flowers to pins to hats.. really makes the final touch!

 

[Pip]

It is yes! And a good film in general

Aha thought it was 3/4, but wasn't quite sure really suits you though! Then again, everything seems to lol

Excellent to hear, it contrasts so well with your hair as well (jealous as I really want your shade of hair lol)!

Darhling, love the Carrie-spinoff. :eusa_clap You just need the cameo in stead of the flower.
You know, the outfit itself in the movie is a tribute to an original outfit Carrie wore in the series, season four or five I believe, it was in lovely shades of brown and red and with that lovely flesh-pink cameo, it was heavenly. I will just try and whip up a screenshot of it, I know exactly which episode it is...

I absolutely love that cameo, but I really don't have a lot of brooches, so I did my own little version of it. Perhaps I can find one on the fleamarket this saturday!

No way!!! lol

Cameos are drop dead expensive since they are very collectible. I'm a collector myself, but I have so many nice ones that are missing frames! I did a screenshot of the outfit, she was sitting down so you can only see the top:

I simply adore these colors!
Sorry, that this is off topic!

 

[dollydaydream]

ooohhhhh so that's the film you were talking about... lol

 

[Smuterella]

that reminds me I've lost my cameo

 

[MissS]

Bravo, my dear! Simply fabulous outfit! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[dollydaydream]

Man I love this hat!

Obviously, nowhere near as glam as someone else round here, but it's raining so out comes the hat
