What are you wearing today??

[Teabag1927]

Next we need to see ya as an enlisted man in a vintage uniform...

Something like that ? I really like your aircraft worker look Fletch, you build 'em, i'll fly 'em !

*cough* Says the MP, who cracked my head more than a couple times with that baton. *cough hackity cough*

Had to put this uniform on this past weekend for a Ceremony at Ft. Hunter Ligget.

Not today, but Saturday. I only just got the pictures, otherwise they'd have been up in time. I have no idea how I coped with the warm weather on that day, but somehow I managed to spend the whole day outside in town without actually getting too hot.

Grey Stetson Chatham
Modern dark turquoise 6 on 1 DB suit, there is a slight blue pinstripe pattern to it but it's only noticable very close up.
Modern white shirt with double cuffs
Tie inherited by my father, unknown age
Golden 50's cufflinks (the only actual vintage item)

 

[FinalVestige79]

Great look! The brim seems a bit tweaked tho.

 

[Barrelhouse]

Nice suit Avedwards! So I guess you tracked down that illusive double breasted suit you were hunting last month. Looks great on you. I'm also glad to see the sun came out for a bit. Based on some of your posts I was starting to think it was Monsoon Season year round over there.

Cheers

Thanks Granadaguy and Barelhouse . First thing my mol commented on seeing me was "nice suit" as well.

The brim is tweaked, but it wasn't like that all day. I changed it the moment I took my hat off and noticed it.

I did manage to find the suit at last. At a stand in the market selling suits for £15 which came from a shop which had gone bankrupt. I feel horrible at having profited from someone else's bad luck, but at rrp I wouldn't have been able to afford this probably.

And the weather has been sunny and cloudless all week, but who knows for how long? It may stay like this for another month, it may rain tomorrow. That's what English weather does.

And, you dont look as mean and cynical as you say you are!

 

[avedwards]

I'm alright when around good company, which I was when the picture was taken. I can be cynical too at times. [huh]

WINGS OF FREEDOM TOUR IN CALIFORNIA

Other than a rather old hat, unfortunately, my clothes are not vintage. However, the planes most definitely are!!!

 

[thunderw21]

Cool Bugsy!

 

[chanteuseCarey]

to Fletch, if ya built ships not planes...

its not for an WWII aircraft worker, but I just saw on evilBay a round metal pin for a WWII shipbuilder, that is "Ships for Victory"...

This was actually from the weekend, not today so I'm cheating a bit. Not the clearest image due to taking it in a not-huge mirror!

Blouse: Vintage from Ebay a few years ago. It's polished cotton.
Skirt: Deadstock vintage bargain from Ebay. Late 40's at a guess, made from linen with a self-cover belt.
Shoes: Black Marks and Spencer wedges, £19.50
Hair flowers: Flamingo Amy

This was the hair:

I'm afraid I didn't wear it to church or to volunteer anywhere - just to have tea and a walk with my best friend and we went to some charity shops looking for (and finding) bargains!

 

[JennyLou]

I love your outfit MissHannah. I want those shoes

 

[hotrod_elf]

Love the out and about outfit Hannah.

 

[get_atomized]

The skirt and blouse give a wonderful silhouette! But my favourite part is your earrings, those are really something!! Beautiful hair, too. I like it all! The colour scheme is super effective

 

[Bugsy]

Thanks, Thunder.

Cool Bugsy!

 

[crazydaisy]

Love the skirt MissHannah! and also the pretty white bag sitting on top of your wardrobe...been looking for a wicker bag, but what I have seen was not quite it, yours is a lovely little thing...

 

[cherry lips]

Breathtaking as always, MissHannah! The shoes are ***y (on you!). A girl like you should always have a huge mirror nearby <3

 

[MarkL]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

That tie with that shirt is really magnificent.

The whole outfit---superb!!!

:eusa_clap

Nothing like giving people seizures with my tie.
