With warmer temperatures creeping up fast, its time to put some "sunshine" in the daily ensemble:
A yellow cotton crew neck sweater
(Polo, $4.99. Note: the sweater is actually quite pastel, it is only my inadequate photography that makes it appear quite electric), with a vintage button down navy stripe oxford from
(long gone) Sero and an Italian silk ascot
($1.99).Below, classic charcoal flannels by J.Press
($5.49) keep me warm, while pale lavender hose and brown suede Italian bit loafers by Salvatore Ferragamo
($6.00) remind us of balmier times to come.
All this simply for a brief trip to the city on a sunny and warm day, as February goes here in the Northeast. The boy even got in the spirit
(by his own choice, I might proudly add):My son keeps it classic in a navy blazer
(Nordstrom's, $4.99) and a blue and burgundy tattersall button down
(Polo, $1.00), all set off by his very first pocket square, proudly bestowed by dear old Dad himself.
Below, some khakis provide a neutral background to black penny loafers
(Nordstrom's, $3.99) set off by bright blue socks
(Old Navy...cheap).Nod to Spring, harken it's arrival and by all means dip a toe in. Just don't get on the diving board while the waters still cold.
