The weather, here, is still sunny but getting cooler, now.
I was in one of those moods, this morning, where i didn`t want to think too hard, nor try too hard, but wanted to pick stuff via `osmosis`; stuff that was anonymous, easy on the eye and, importantly, easy on the soul.
Reflecting this feeling, i reached for the following...
Sage green-`Sweatshirt USA` short -sleeve sweat shirt
`Grit` colour- Levi 501 Originals ( a Light, neutral, `canvas` colour: beige/grey, or cream/grey mix. Putty? More beige than grey)
Grey- Converse `Chuck Taylor` All Stars Hi Tops
^ No socks, no watch, no jewellery.
I don`t usually wear Converse All Stars too much (too ubiquitous, too `Americana`), but the grey colour, when matched with the jeans and sweat, was satisfyingly anonymous.
Today, Tortoiseshell Persol 714's, blue Gant rugger ocbd untucked, FP blue/white university stripe shorts (no visible branding) Quoddy pebble grain bluchers no socks. It's like the summer we never had.
Was:
Faded, mid-green USA-made RL polo shirt
Bean jeans
Green All-Stars
Functional, no frills.
While your having Indian Summer-Near record low, for me. Out the door for 7:00 Mass 58 degrees,Brrrr
White undershirt,No name Butter yellow, with blue stripes B D(Thrift shop find,$2) Lee dark blue regular fit jeans,turned up, black leather belt, brown suede(the cola color) Clarks DBs,cream colored socks. Fresh coif, like a blonde version of Harpos.
Very warm evening here:
Old 'Smedley style' Uniqlo blue s/sleeve polo,
Bills M2 khakis, tailored
Navy Hackett belt,
M&S desert boots,
Sockless

If that uniqlo OCBD is like the one picked I up, it has a surprisingly good roll, HK?

Kind of a style council vibe, this evening.

Actually looked alright for once. I belt the Downfield up and pretend I'm in a Melville film. Maybe I'll do over the jewellers opposite one day.
