Second Time Around

It’s always fun and exciting shopping for vintage clothing and making it work in a modern way. Here’s Dustin wearing my take on the modern Mr. Rogers because who doesn’t like looking like a grandpa? eh? Anyone?

Red 1950’s boxy wool cardigan - Vintage

1960’s Blue/white striped short sleeve shirt - Vintage

1950’s Gold clip-on bowtie - Vintage

Lightwash stretch denim jeans - Monkey Genes

Summer in October Since the weather can’t make up it’s mind in NYC, here’s another summer outfit to fit the mood. Favorite things about this look - the complimentary blue/grey/brown tones. Everything is a variation of one shade or another but I think it makes everything go together. Straw boater hat - The Village Scandal Houndstooth bow tie - H&M Grey button down - J.Crew Blue/brown striped belt - ugh, still can’t remember where it’s from Navy chino shorts - BDG from Urban Outfitters Tan suede wingtips - Ask the Missus

Dressy for Fall, Part 2 Another dressier look today. Simple jacket and jeans but what I really like is the shirt. You can’t tell from the pic but it’s actually a lightweight fleece. Fleece with a blazer, why not? It’s perfect for when it gets colder because you can still be warm but don’t have to wear a bulky jacket over your blazer which I know isn’t the most comfortable. Black cotton blazer - H&M Navajo print fleece button down shirt - Uniqlo Oversized bow tie - Vintage Black waxed denim jean - Bullhead White soled black lace-ups - Aldo

Dressy for Fall What I like about this outfit is that even though all the clothes are pieces I’ve had from at least 3 years ago, combining them in this way makes them look current. Grey felt fedora - The Village Scandal Blue polkadot bow tie - H&M Beige dress shirt - Uniqlo Dark denim jeans - H&M White soled black lace-ups - Aldo (LOL, look at the whiteboard in the background, thank you to the friend that wrote that)
