For Her 12th birthday, im taking my daughter to the Houston Symphony at Jones hall...for the performance of Return of the Jedi. We've been to a few of these fun concerts dressed in nice wear, but im considering doing somthing more theme-related.

Today we had the children’s Christmas Program followed by our regular service. My outfit includes my Italian spectators, brown trousers with a blue pinstripe, my Austrian made Harris tweed sports coat, an English sweater vest, a white oxford with blue stripes, Brooks Brothers bow tie, a blue edged patterned pocket square, and my Stetson Temple. So this is one my more international outfits.

Tomorrows in the 50th Party for my wife. I have given it a Victorian theme and it is set as a High Tea. There are along 15-20 people attending, and the cake will look like this picture, which iOS off the cake just not finished. I will be wearing my Nectere watch complete with the green band back on it, do you think the rest of the outfit works within the Theme?
