An "A" for Style

Whoever said that $25 can't look like a million bucks, they ain't got nuthin' on me. This is what I wore to my oral argument (I did not wear the sweater when I was speaking though). All I did to the suit was taper the legs and a little blind hem. I think it turned out pretty well. I am going to try to fit the jacket a little better around the waist, but I only have so much time.
I thought I would try out a new style on the pocket square, this method is called the "shell". Pretty nifty, Fred Astaire would be proud.
This is a little idea I had the other day. I want to try out the off-color vest with the suit. I also have a gray suit that I can wear with a blue vest. I think it looks OK, but not great. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Last thing for this post. Closeup on my fine handiwork on the pants. Also, I got these shoes at D.I. for $12, they are a brand called Florisheim, they are super nice shoes. The weird part is that Lance was showing off the new wing-tips that he got at D.I. to me, and I found these like a day later. Brothers to the bone I guess.
