I went off and bought a new vintage suit from Swank Bros. today. (Not quite as nice as 1-800-Bettie's, but close - and they have the double-breasted 1940's look.) Having blue and grey already, I bought a brown one.

Then I realized I had no appropriate brown shoes, so I had to go to Jeepers Creepers and buy another pair of Carl Perkins in brown. (Can't wear black shoes with a brown suit - no, no,no!) They cost more than the suit!!!

This is all your fault, Carter - you posted that picture in the blue seersucker from Blaze with the Carl Perkins shoes. I not only have that suit, but I have three pairs of the shoes. You are hard on my linden dollar balance!

Damn that Carter! Damn that obsequious butch and her innocent smile!

Liona Clio · 07-01-2009, 11:37 AM

Fashionista.

**Carter-Madhu** · 07-01-2009, 11:47 AM

I think I only have two pairs of the Carl Perkins myself, the white and the brown. That could change, I suppose ...

Last night my girlfriend called me a "GQ butch." I think it was the gold cufflinks I had on ...

... I'm not going to take her comment to heart, she liked the outfit and she likes it when I look dapper. So I'm not planning to rein in my shopping (or my waistcoat collection, or my necktie collection, or my sculpted collar and sculpted cuff collection, or ...) any time soon.

Ned Easterwood · 07-01-2009, 11:53 AM

I have the black Carl Perkins - they go great with my Swank Bros suits, of which I now have three - not to mention my vintage tux from 1-800-Bettie's.

ETA: I'll get a pic later.

Ned Easterwood · 07-01-2009, 04:11 PM

As promised - swinging at the USO Club.

Brown double-breasted suit from Swank Brothers
Brown Carl Perkins from Jeepers Creepers

A nice thing about these suits is that you can wear 'em with a vest instead of the jacket.

Milana Cavan · 07-01-2009, 04:19 PM

I like. I guess that means I need to get a move on making that 40s dress I've been thinking about.

Darn you Carter! Making me create stuff again.

Ned Easterwood · 07-01-2009, 04:21 PM

I guess we'll go to USO and dance to the stream tonight - I'm already dressed for the part.

**Carter-Madhu** · 07-02-2009, 10:20 AM

I'm antsy for the long weekend today ... it's raining torrentially and 2/3 of my office has taken the day off ...

please don't let my thread die

I don't get whole threads of my own very often

entertain meh!

fanx!

/me is so happy that /me is not a slave to fashion.

... but at least I'm not a disaster either.

**Carter-Madhu** · 07-02-2009, 10:32 AM

hey ... I don't think liking my waistcoats and ties and making my avatar look all dapper and cute makes me a slave ...

It's just one of the ways I like to have fun in SL.

Ned Easterwood · 07-02-2009, 10:41 AM

I'm definitely not a slave to fashion - but I have my own style. And it's fun to wear retro suits and uniforms to USO, where I go a lot. (Unless, of course, you call wearing brown shoes with a brown suit - instead of black shoes - a "slave of fashion".)

I bought a US Navy officer's uniform too - summer whites. I'm up to three uniforms now. The other two had combat boots with them, but the whites don't. I think my black Carl Perkins will go nicely.

I did not take this picture but it cracks me up every time I see it.

Emiliana Dallagio · 07-05-2009, 02:09 PM
