Male and female clothing...
Jemima, we seem to be in a minority here in terms of liking our male wardrobe as equally as our female wardrobe. I keep up with the current styles in both. One thing I won't do is wear male or female clothes that are entirely out of fashion. I donate those clothes to our nearest Waterfront Mission and I'm sure the folks who are lucky enough to find my donated clothing are probably thrilled to buy it and proudly wear it. When I turn clothing in, it's always first class stuff that cost good money when it was new and the clothing turned in for the most part hasn't been worn but just a few times.
I love to wear really nice quality slim cut fashionable suits to church which now is the only time, with the exception of formal balls and formal fund raising events I attend each year, I get a chance to dress up. I like Joseph A. Banks suits. They seem to fit me like a glove and my tailor there really knows what she's doing with any required alterations which are few with a slim cut suit. Usually, all she has to do is hem the slacks. I like a very light break at the bottom of my suit pants. My shirts are by Paul Fredrick and are the really nice non-iron cotton dress shirts (32 and 1/2 inch neck with straight 32 inch sleeves). They are usually white, light blue, or pink in color with really nice ties I mostly buy at Dillards. Shoes are by Johnston & Murphy. I used to work for this company and they are one of only two show manufacturers who provide shoes to the president of the united states. Allen Edmonds is the other company and I own a few pair of those because on of my best buddies manages the store in Destin, Florida. My men's casual wardrobe looks pretty slick too with a wide assortment and manufacturers of jeans, slacks, shoes, boots, shirts, sport coats, and the like.
You girls have seen a little of my girl's wardrobe with many more pictures of me in an array of various outfits on the way. The photo restrictions on this site prevent you from showing too many photos at once which is understandable. But you'll see I take just as much pride in the quality of my girly clothes as I do my male clothes. I think I have been wearing stylish clothes all the way back to elementary school. It seemed as though my mom and dad spoiled me and always allowed me to keep up with the latest fashions. I have an extensive selection of subscriptions to magazines that keep me up to date on both male and female clothing. I guess, with the male clothing, I lean toward the classy executive side with my dress clothes and probably more towards the Tommy Hilfiger preppy side with my male casual clothes. With my female clothes, I always try to hit "cute", "sexy", "classy" styles in every outfit I put together. It's taken quite a while to figure my girly side out, but now I have it pretty much down pat.
That's it for now. Probably a bit too much to take in but what the heck, one it comes to fashion, I love talking about the subject! Sincerely, Scarlett
