Cordurainbow

I planned to post photos of my red cords I wore on Thanksgiving, but I've been having camera trouble. Instead, enjoy a full spectrum of corduroy colors from Polo. I receive a lot of feedback on my favoritism of Polo but I've never worn more luxurious, comfortable, durable cords than Ralph's.


It takes some confidence to wear red cords, sure. Going the next level and wearing bright orange just might be beyond me.


This intarsia sweater appears to have a shawl collar, but it's actually a hood. Can't get much cozier than this warm and festive piece of nostalgia.


Some of my favorite looks are simple ones like this. The soft tones are incredibly elegant and understated.


I might be able to wear this toggle cardigan only four months a year, but it's almost worth the investment. I say almost only because I, as a college student, can't justify spending all my cash on one piece. However, these green cords might be coming home soon.


I've already got my navy cords, but what catches my attention yet again here is the sweater. Heavy, thick-knit sweaters have been popular the last few winters, but this relatively lightweight aran sweater is a quite versatile layering piece.


What's your favorite pair of cords and how do you outfit them? Any color that's too bold for you?

The Grand Concourse

Nothing speaks of a grand dining experience like the Grand Concourse in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I've heard incredible things about this place and plan to visit during my winter break.

To Buy or Not to Buy

I'm feeling festive and considering these Polo loafers. Original price is $89.99 and they're on sale around $50. Should I go for both, just one, or pass entirely?




The next three pairs are out of consideration thanks to prices above $400. However, these beautiful shoes are made in America and feature some special styling and craftsmanship.


Golden brown wingtips are always on my wish list. I have a pair from Allen Edmonds I picked up from a thrift shop last year. Though in excellent condition, they're slightly small and quite uncomfortable after a few hours.


Plaid strapped loafers - something anybody should want. Maybe I could get a cobbler to create something similar with my existing loafers? It's the only way I'll be getting close to this design.

eBlazers of Summer

After a day of sunny skies and warm weather, I thought I'd go hunting for next summer's sport coats. While it might be difficult to find certain items out of season, when you find something great it's likely to be cheaper than in-season when demand drives the market up. I just discovered this Polo pink oxford blazer on eBay. It's not my size, so happy bidding. Somebody should have this thing.



Oh, and this.


Yes, this too.
