In my initial 30 for 30 declaration post, I alluded to a missing garment. Behold, garment No. 29: an argyle knit vest from Rugby, best enjoyed with a Magic Hat #9.

30x30 Day 8 Teaser
IMHO, rules are meant to be creatively broken, but you can’t break them successfully without understanding them first. Friday I preached about Rule 21, but two days later I went out of the house with my Gant Rugger checked plaid untucked and half unbuttoned. And that was that.

It’s Friday, so you might need this (via Esquire).
Rule #21 is probably the most beneficial of them all:
21. There is nothing so wrong with one’s appearance that can’t be improved, however slightly, by tucking in one’s shirt and standing up straight.
Most of these come right out of The Rules, which is one of the more perfect bathroom readers of our time.
11/11 was international corduroy day. I complied. And I’m pretty sure I would have never thought up this combination if it wasn’t for the creative constraints set by the challenge. I love a good mix of texture, pattern, and color.

The Boston rain meant boots for sure. I had a bit more of a hipster/mod streak going on this time last year when I found these Abington Guide boots in black on sale. But now that I dress like a grown-up, I’m feeling them less and less. Might be time for something w/ more of an Italian cut, ya?

BONUS ROUND: I did some image editing here, not for color correction but because I just didn’t like something about my pose. Can you spot the Photoshopping?
(30x30 Day 4 teaser) 11/11 is international corduroy day. Why? 11/11 sorta looks like a narrow waling, doesn’t it? Given the date of this time next year, I think I ought to start looking for that three-piece cord suit.
Alana and I found our way to a one-year anniversary of a swank boston restaurant. The reception was overcrowded and each tray of hors d’oeuvres lasted about 12.5 seconds, but two glasses of champagne and some pinot noir made it a decent experience.
And the lady that must have been, without a doubt, Mrs. Havisham, made for some interesting people-watching.
