Day 46

One of the great aspects about dressing for my job is the relative spectrum of "business casual". I can wear a three piece suit one day a week, and I can wear jeans and no tie one day a week, and everything in between. I love these levi's; I have had them for nearly a year and washed them 7 times, possibly.

Day 37/ Cashmere Sportcoat for the WIN!

A few weeks ago Winter struck, and cottons, seer suckers, ginghams had to be put away. And that meant my only navy blazer, cotton/ linen, was put away. I had remarked to my dad (my ultimate style hero) that I needed a wool blazer to wear the other 2 season out of the year; I happened to find it yesterday. This is a cashmere navy sportcoat! It is really warm, and the fit is incredible off  the rack. I am so appreciative to whoever returned this piece online so that I could pick it up in our J Crew clearance factory center.

Day 34

Bitterly cold; gray and blue skies prevail.
Chances of rain, and after yesterday's downpour, I have not forgotten my trench or my duck boots.
This tweedy, herringbone suit is VERY warm. I had the pants tailored long ago, they may be due to go back in, with the jackey in tow. On a less rainy, mucky day I would def pair this suit with wingtip boots.

Day 33

A Frigid Morning as Asheville eases into winter and rain.
This suit still needs to have its leg holes taken in but overall its fit is much better. This suit and a cashmere scarf kept me warm...til it started rainy. Need my trench after that. The shirt and tie pairing is classic me. I have worn these two together for a long time. Winter is here no more pant cuffing, or rolling. And socks are now a must. Need some corgi socks!

Day 26/ Lighten Up/ Pattern Mixing

I started with a very dark, muted base. The trousers are glenn plaid patterned but, it is very subtle. The combat boots are a nice even choclate brown.
So, up top I wanted to really lighten everything up. The 40 year old light grey herringbone does all that work.
As for the patterns, there are a lot of patterns hidden throughout. The shirt is a pencil stripe red, and white pattern with herringbone on top of it, the check gingham pocket square all on top of glenn plaid trousers.
