INSTAGRAM AND OOTD's - BECAUSE GETTING DRESSED IS A RITUAL

Sometimes, something as superficial as picking a good outfit will actually have profound repercussion on your well being.  Believe me, getting dress is a ritual.

THE COLOR PURPLE

The unexpected combinations of color like my purple moccasins make for a bold new look that breaks all the rules.

BASIC MATTER 15: THE SUEDE LOAFERS

Here’s what I got myself last week for Christmas. I always like the preppy classic suede loafers or what dad would call, the 'old man' shoes.


‘A man may wear his heart on his sleeve, but his shoes will tell you what condition it’s in´ from the book Never Trust a Man in Alligator Loafers.

Probably I’m an old guy at heart but definitely not conservative and stodgy.

PASSED ON FROM DAD

Being a southern gentleman that he is, my dad treats his moccasins like fine lace-ups when worn with a business look and on casual lazy weekends.

I have been eyeing on his vintage tan tassle moccasins he has had for years and I was able to convince him to pass it on to me 2 days ago ( love you Pop!) . It can be worn just like a pair of dark hot jeans and is perfect whole year round.

For the meantime, I am going barefoot until those moccasins get here next month with dad.
