Kickin' It in Campsides

Polo Ralph Lauren linen shirt
Rooster Indian madras tie
Merona cotton shawl cardigan
Polo Ralph Lauren chino
Sebago Campsides


Just picked up this vintage Rooster tie for $6 on eBay. Tagged "Bleeding Indian Madras," I can't wait to boil it and see how the colors turn out. The Merona cardigan is one of my favorite knitwear pieces - so much so that I own two. I keep one in place of a sweatshirt for trips to the gym. The other gets worn around the house when it's chilly, as well as for basically any other occasion. The American-made Campsides were a $1 thrift shop find awhile back. Aside from needing fresh insoles, they looked new when I bought them two years ago and  they've held up very well since then.

Moderately Monochromatic

A lack of bold color doesn't mean boring. 

Sometimes you can make as much of a statement when you keep things simple.

This entire outfit is based around one muted color, but I think it works. I paired up the top pieces with (camel, sand, khaki, whatever) Polo chinos and tan Sebago Campsides. Visual interest is drawn from the texture of the sweater, along with the navy in the shirt and tie.

Splish Splash

The Sebago Boat Shoe Boat. Brilliant. 

 

Next stop... the Bean Boot ATV. Brilliant-er.
