Paisley is not that hard to incorporate, you had a good idea from the jump. Some of their other pocket square prints look weird to me
This is good too and would work:

A vivid imperfect red one:

Appreciate the help wj4

I hate to keep on asking for advice, but I was wondering if you could pick out a few more options. Possibly some complementary colors rather than different shades of purple. I guess that I don't want the tie and pocket square being (mostly) the same color. I like where you're going with the white/black pocket square.

Would any of these work? I know the white/black piping would work well, but the other 3 are a little more bold. I was thinking the floral 1 may not work as well, since it's dark and my suit is dark.

If you specifically like the Cole Haan Howland, why don't you google them? There are a ton of sites that have them.
Also, if it's that style of driving shoe you're looking for, I can send you a bunch of links.

The reason is because its 40% off on Nordstrom. I usually only buy from Nordstrom or Zappos b/c of their free shipping/return.

Nvm just saw that its also on sale at zappos, not as good but i'll probably get it to try them on.

Wondering if anyone has experience with the North Face triclimate vortex?

Does it hold up well in 0-30 degree weather, snowy/rainy/windy conditions? I will be doing a lot of walking

I cant wear my peacoat when the weather gets too ugly, so i was looking for an alternative...pretty set on the north face products since I had a really nice down jacket from them, but it got stolen SMH!

This is the Triclimate vortex

Stopped by h&m last night. Whatever is left of the mmm collab is on heavy discount. They had lots of the painted boots and loafers for $50 and $30. I couldn't pass these up for the price. $30 cashmere sweaters ftw even if they don't last too long.

I actually don't like the first one much because the piping kills it for me, especially being in a color as contrasting to white as black. I would prefer all white. The second and third will work as well. The fourth looks really cheap, this is why I didn't recommend it in the first place. And as you stated, it wouldn't contrast your suit as well either so double no no.

Yep. They started hitting the 90% discount after Xmas or New Year, I forget. I'm tempted to get painted boots myself as beaters, but I gotta stay strong to my no cop commitment I think the only style that sold really well were the sneakers, which look completely like pleather.

How do yall feel about this? I'm looking for a casual shoe/boot to wear that works with outfits that dont look good with sneakers.. Trying to stay away from the traditional beeswax DB, but if I find no alternative I might just stick to it.

With these, I'm really liking the camo print and the uniqueness of the shoe..

Beeswax Mali Boot (pretty much the high version to the traditional Beeswax DB)

Anyone know how much longer the Ralph Lauren sale will last?

Any interest in the Clark's Desert Guard?

 

[leonidas]

I was looking into copping some of the desert treks for spring/summer, when DBs wouldnt look good with shorts. Hopefully, theyll still be around til then

Nope, not a fan.. How do you feel about the ones I posted?

I have one, fits true to size, keeps me warm in 10 degree weather when it's snowing.. And it is waterproof. OH and it also keeps the wind off of you. I highly recommend it.

P.s. get the black/white one. Very versatile for layering

FYI, My target is all out of the Rag & Bone Cardigan's unfortunately but has a couple of the Thom Browne blazer in all sizes, if anyone is interested. To whoever gave the advice of the $6.98 maroon chino's good looks just picked up a pair!

 

[bangdak]

^Sent you a PM.

I went to my local target as well to check up on the blazers hoping to see it'd be discounted some more but with the few sizes left, i took the bite. Depending on your area, i suggest those who are still interested should as well.

 

[unknwn]

My Target also has a good size run of both the Blazer and Cardigan if anyone still wants them.

 

[mayeskellen99]

Anybody been buying from the polo sale?

 

[wj4]

Today:

To go meet up with Girlslovewaffles.
