What are you wearing today??

[crazydaisy]

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

ChanteuseCarey, no I have not cut my hair short, I just felt would look better to have it up for that outfit (it's caught up at the back), and also it was not that clean anymore!

Fleur, you look always stunning and every time I see a photo of you I cannot help but admire and covet your grace. You're a swan!
Also, it's fantastic how good you look in those cool shades - is that what one would call icy pastels? - it makes one become more aware of the importance of discovering the right shade, something I keep thinking about since I've read the "colour combinations" thread.

OK, now I'm in love with Grantfan.[huh]



We are talkin' Cary Grant, Right?

 

[crazydaisy]

Wow, pink is the way forward! You look smashing, Slim Portly!

By the way, is there a thread out there to teach me how to properly fold a handkerchief?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Here you are, CrazyDaisy. A link full of links.

Just finished this EvaDress pattern jacket, mid-40s 'Battle Jacket'. The trousers are from the '34 EvaDress pattern. Radiac collar, Tootal tie, unmarked hat.

I'll put more pics and info about the jacket in the 'Show us what you've made' thread.

Cheers,
Nick

Slim's in the pink!

Slim: Look's like you've recovered well from your recent surgery and that you are "back in the pink". Great, great outfit---as always!

 

[Slim Portly]

Thank you, everyone. Yes Mark, it was only this past week that I truly felt fully recovered. It's funny how wanting to look good for one's friends can inspire. Crazydaisy, one of the links in the thread that Gene pointed you to was where I first learned how to properly fold a pocket square. Usually I do as in the picture with the flower and the cufflinks and then fold up the bottom and tuck it into my breast pocket just as you see it there.

I an admirerer! You're so stylish. I love this non-flirty look on you. (Nothing wrong with a flirty style either, you understand me don't you.)

 

[Panache]

Nick,


Well done Sir! :eusa_clap

That is a very handsome, and I suspect quite versatile, jacket.

I look forward to seeing more pictures of it.

Cheers

Jamie

You don't find these wonderful pictures of Crazy Daisy flirty?

HarpPlayerGene, thanks for the link.
SlimPortly, that's a good tip about folding the pocket square. Thank you.

Nick D, those colours are wonderful on you, and your head in that hat with the pipe - worth a painting!

Wish I had the sense of colour of some people here! The hope resides in the fact that some things can be learned.

Mary, I know what you mean. I am one of the most lacking in sex appeal people that I know, but that's how it is, gotta live with that lol. Since it doesn't come naturally I don't try very hard to "do" sexy/flirty - if I do try it ends up looking wacky cause I start pulling faces, or is just forced.
But then again this is a subjective matter. What is flirty or sexy to one is not to another. But yes, mainstream flirty is not for me.

 

[BellyTank]

Nick, that very same colour in Corduroy looks great in a short jacket, too.

I was asked to bring along my cowboy hats to add to the atmosphere for the release of the new album, "Americana Express" by Ruthie and the Wranglers

...flirty is not for me.

Flirty, no.

Enchanting, yes!

 

[Sapphire]

Just browsed through the past 15 or so pages in this thread...you guys are an excellent source of inspiration, thanks for that!

By the way....

Well, if this isn't flirty enough I dunno . The gentleman on your side must be very happy.

This is a cool pic!

Jamie, thank you, I plan on getting a lot of use out of it.

Crazydaisy, thank you very much
