30x30 Day 11—15: ¡✭!COMBO¡✭!
SO… I took the week of Thanksgiving off and started the new tradition of Drinking White Russians at 11:30 While Mother is out Doing Errands the Tuesday Before Thanksgiving (DWR1130WMDETBT for those who need twitter-friendly acronyms). Coincidentally, this is also the ✭PERFECT✭ time to do a long post of the last FIVE days of 30 x 30 ensembles.
Why the long delay? Much like the turkey I’ll be mouthifying in a few days, certain things need at least 8 hours in a salt water brine. Waitwhat?
Read on. Caution: slightly crunk steez.
Day 11
Why the face? Well its Friday, and I’m going to work, and I’m postin’ up for a photo at 8am before coffee. That’s why.
Also, I think the sweater + jacket are a subtle play with neutrals, which I really wouldn’t have thought of if it weren’t for this challenge, much like the great corduroy pairing for 11/11.
30x30 items:
- Grey sport coat: J. Crew
- Beige sweater: J. Crew
- Shirt: French Connection
- Jeans: Burberry
- Shoes: J.M. Weston*
Accoutremonts:
- Bag: Jack Spade
* These J.M. Weston beauties (better viewed here, the first pair) were the first pair of shoes that helped me understand the impact of a quality shoe. They’re comfortable, fixable ($45 for a new heal and soles), and look worn but new with a little bit of polish. A lucky find for $80 at Second Time Around. To this day, I have no idea what the model are or what year they were made, so any insight would be much appreciated!
