July 4th celebrations
You may not be able to tell here, but this outfit is subtly patriotic. The polo is a dark red/burgundy shade, the seersucker shorts are blue and white, and my Volunteer Traditions belt sums it all together. Originally was going to wear an OCBD, but it was an extremely humid afternoon where I watched the events and fireworks.

Casual Outing

The belt reads like a movie film strip as the lacrosse player takes a shot. Takes me back to my playing days.



Beach Vacation
Yet another Fun Shirt...for something I don't wear often, I obviously have a problem. Usually an OCBD should be tucked in, but I was going for a relaxed vibe with this as I walked down the boardwalk. Colors add to the festivity.

1) ** denotes a joke
2) Noticed I've been collecting a lot of Brooks Brothers. This too, is a product of my trad-daddy obsession.
