While I obviously am not eligible for the potential prize in this challenge, that doesn't mean I can't participate at all! 😁 The focal point of these outfits is the merino wool, quarter-zip sweater - of which I've recently purchased three from Banana Republic Factory. The first outfit is the most casual, but a bit more elevated than jeans, a t-shirt, and casual sneakers. The hat provides a sandwich look, coordinating with the jeans, while my other accessories echo the red of the sweater. The second outfit is the most formal of the three - including a necktie, yet still without a tailored jacket (the overcoat doesn't count, there). Browns are echoed throughout this outfit - from the camel overcheck in the trousers to the camel overcoat to the browns in the shoes, socks, necktie, watch, and gold-toned ring. The third outfit is the most layered but sits in the middle, from a strict formality standpoint. Navy serves as the canvas for this outfit, with reds popping up throughout the layers - from the burgundy flannel shirt to the flat cap to the shoes, socks, necklace, rings, and watch - all wrapped up in a charcoal gray overcoat. One sweater, three colors, three outfits - hopefully each displaying a different level of formality with a unique but harmonious look featuring one versatile item of clothing...

It’s freezing and has been since Saturday night. Still made the commute into work despite trains being cancelled and delayed across the system. Lots of layers today, to include a pair of running tights under my trousers for extra insulation and warmth while wait for trains and woolen Irish walking socks.
