If you are like me and keep Tumblr and Pinterest open 24 hours a day, you will have seen thousands of fabulous outfits that appeal to old school preps like me. I find is fascinating to see what the younguns do these days with traditional looks, with slight modern twists. I am forever collecting photos for my inspiration folder, scouring Polyvore for exact or similar items, and I spend more time that is normal organizing and staring at my wardrobe. One of these days I will post a photo of my closet - it's quite shocking how many pieces I have. I can assure you though, there will never be a moment I say 'I have nothing to wear'. I can pull together an outfit for just about any occasion without little effort. I reap the fruits of my sartorial labours after spending 25 years building my very own boutique.
I spotted this gem on Tumblr back in the fall (if this is you please email me so I can give you proper credit) and knew I had to be seen in something similar. Thank goodness ON hit it out of the park this last season with shirts and coloured jeans, cords and khakis.
Plaid flannel shirt, red skinny cords, navy blazer, cognac boots, purse and watch. Pearls, natch. I wore this to a Rotary dinner and when I walked in one of the men asked me where I parked my horse. I told him I have two words for him and they are not happy birthday. Interesting though, this same man smokes a pipe - something we rarely ever see here. Surely he knows about making a statement!
