In my late teens I wore his soft and baggy corduroy scout shorts and since then I've bought second-hand pin-striped suits, gangster style that I love. The best thing of all is a woman in a man's evening suit - waistcoat, bow tie, loose, the lot.<br />I think you look great, Gatsby, in the first photo and your wonderfully wild self in the second.

Certainly worth a second and third look to figure it all out. Not that I could, figure it out. And what does it matter, it's the gestalt of the effect, mais non?

You can do/wear anything with your special brand of intelligent panache!!! :-) I'll be back from another trip by the middle of July and I can't wait to fire up the camera for Vogoff. <br /><br />I agree that thrifting is IT, and your comment about size/making mistakes etc. is dead on. Upcycling is great for the same reason, because cutting into an expensive piece of yardage is terrifying, especially when you're too impatient to make a prototype out of muslin. I'd be bored and ready to move on by the time it was finished. <br /><br />Love you madly.
