After seeing the opthamlogtst on Friday,, I had a optemetry appointment today and ordered both new glasses and sunglasses. Even with insurance it was not cheap. My outfit was casual, floral shirt, brown trousers, Chelsea boots and a brown linen cap. When the new glasses arrive hopefully I can start to participate more again.

Quick picture snapped in the office lift. I’m now 7.5 stone down, with 1.5 stone to go. Now when I see my reflection, I no longer see a fat man. I see a thin man who’s let himself go a bit. 😀 Please excuse the manic look, I was on the way to lunch and feeling ravenous.

Taking the mothership out for lunch, it's a nice lunch. I decided to get dressed up a little. I rather like this look, curious to get some feedback

I recently bought a suit from a thrift store, but when I bought it, I forgot to check the most important thing—the shoulder fit. It has quite a lot of shoulder padding, so I didn't notice the issue right away. It only cost me about $2.20, but I'm still disappointed, especially because the trousers fit me really well. What do you think about this situation? To be honest, I've already built a pretty good wardrobe and can put together some nice outfits, but this suit is genuinely a great piece.

I have only really become a shoe guy since joining this great group of gents. Pictured, is my new pair of Allen Edmond tassel loafers. I really like burgundy or ox-blood anything, especially shoes. But, there is no way I could afford these new at $450.00, but I can afford them used off of eBay for $30.00 including shipping! Yes, the soles have some wear, but I don’t care. I’m slowly building a small collection of older AE’s. Did I mention I really like them?
