I wont be posting outfits for a few days as my legs are bandages ankle to groin. What was supposed to be a 2.5 hour surgery became 4 hours as my right leg was very much damaged a lit more than initially thought. It was good to be told this and have my pain validated. I’m heading home now, focusing on healing and taking things one day at a time. I’ll be back sharing outfits when I can stand, move, and feel a bit more like myself again. I will be logging in though to keep the 🔥

In this month of January I attended both a black-tie wedding and the first symphony concert of the season at Miami’s Arsht Center, the later of which presented the opportunity to wear a white dinner jacket I recently acquired from SuitSupply. -- Ralph Lauren Purple Label made-to-measure shawl collar tuxedo; Fiori di Lusso linen pocket square; Apposta pleated tuxedo shirt; Curated Basics mother of pearl cufflinks; Trafalgar white silk suspenders; Fort Belvedere black silk cummerbund, self-tie bow tie and black silk stockings; Christian Louboutin black patent leather slip-ons; Sternglass black and white analog watch. -- SuitSupply made-to-measure ecru wool twill shawl collar dinner jacket; Hermès red pocket square; Eton black cotton poplin shirt; Brioni black wool trousers; Turnbull & Asher black silk suspenders with white polka dots; Fort Belvedere black silk stockings; Bruno Magli black lace-up derby shoes; Apple Watch Hermès Series 10 with black leather strap; Burberry silk scarf.

It usually takes me about 60 seconds to construct an outfit. Started with brown 5 pocket Bill Blass Cords, added a CT Oxford basket weave blue shirt and the second day wearing a cardigan sweater. This merino wool olive with the blue shirt offers many possibilities. I threw my RL parquet weave tweed ( I used to describe this as a barley corn but that didn’t sound right so using the style dictionary Antonio created I realized it was a parquet-like the floor -weave). My 1 minute assemblage stretched out to three because with olives and blues there are so many choices. I got down to three ties. I settled on my newest tie-a deep plumb wool challis club tie and my reversible wool pocket square (opposite side from yesterday). Orvis field watch and 1982 Cole Haan Waxhides and argyle socks finished it off.
