Beyond the CEY

Not saying I'd wear this, but we should all aspire to have such boldness.

Bright and Yellow and Mellow

From Brooks Brothers spring collection comes this dandified look. It's finally time to put away the flannels and tweeds in exchange for cottons and linens. Though this is a bit of a CEY outfit for me, I love the waistcoat and blazer separately.  With some inspiration from reader Just Some Guy, I'll be showing off my summer rotation as soon as my new sport coats arrive from Paul Fredrick.

Purple and Yellow Panache

I live on the east coast. However, thanks to my father, I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan. Thanks to my uncle, I'm a Los Angeles Lakers fan. So, I've always had a love for purple and yellow. After checking out David's post recently, I stumbled upon this image through Prepidemic. Were I an older gentleman with the panache to sport velvet slippers about, this look wouldn't be so intimidating. Yet, it is awe-inspiring and one of my CEY outfits. Country club, Easter, Yacht.

For now I'll settle with my bright red cords which I promise to soon post. My final days as an undergraduate occur this week. The commencement is Sunday. I'll be wearing a cap and gown but need the perfect outfit for after the ceremony. Any ideas?

Also, my thanks go out once again to my readers and especially my handful of loyal commenters. You make this blog worth writing and continue to inspire me each day.
