My husband used to dress in up to the minute crimplene and tailor-made (by himself) wide lapelled suits as a young man. He was still wearing this stuff when I met him in the mid eighties, but the funny thing was that his 70's gear including his swimming trunks, has wowed his grandchildren and young daughters. Bryony is wearing all his jackets now.<br />You are going to look a million dollars when you splash out John.Lady Mondegreen's Secret Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638813551209321151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-67122023579176630732012-04-01T21:24:26.895+00:002012-04-01T21:24:26.895+00:00I loved all of this post, especially the painting....I loved all of this post, especially the painting. <br />But for some reason, I keep saying to myself 'John has *Rancid* fat.'

If you're going to be in old pig muck for the day, no point in wearing nice things. <br /><br />However, should you want to be Chris's arm candy, it wouldn't go amiss to have a few outfits that will make you look more fetching.<br /><br />Since i telecommute these days, most of my office clothes just hang in the closet. I want to keep a few for when i go somewhere and want to look nice, but most i think need to hang in someone else's closet.<br /><br />Congrats on your continued weight loss!<br /><br />meganmegan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-48870055964395312582012-04-01T18:14:59.263+00:002012-04-01T18:14:59.263+00:00There is much to be said for having a casual style...There is much to be said for having a casual style.
