Today's (Sort of) Outfit - For the Birds

Another highly-textured outfit today, built almost entirely with pieces from thrift shops. The orange and gold of the jacket comes out when paired with the burnt orange tie. The green pocket square pops when playing off the green stripe of the tie as well as the bird embroidery of the trousers. Below this, similar tones continue with burnt orange socks and chestnut shoes.

Two days ago I wrote on 2013 resolutions. I forgot to mention my primary goal regarding this blog, to discuss all that I bring in from thrift shops. The vast majority of things I buy are for the CKC Shoppe, and previously I've tended not to post photos of that merchandise until it appears in the shoppe. From now on, I'll put up whatever comes my way, so I may share my finds and give you a chance to inquire about new products before they're displayed.
