The heatwave had more than a good run earlier this month, but eventually, British Summer Time must maintain its reputation. So, it's all about varieties in suit, sportcoat and trouser weights, and a readily available umbrella, which was amusingly referred to as a "pimping stick" by an otherwise sultry Colombian girl on the bus, who had an anti-social - if droll - tendency to sing along to Spanish-language and r'n'b songs on her mobile

Purple Rain and Anchorman Burgundy:
New purchases include borrowed fake eyeglasses, green poly-cotton H&M sportcoat, burgundy H&M double breasted cardigan (with nods to Winston) and purple Aquascutum Ltd. by Nick Hart odd jacket, which was another lucky bargain second hand purchase.

I just ordered the scarf, may try and recreate your outfit in a female version.

C, I have a particular fondness for umbrellas, pimping or otherwise. They're useful, they're elegant when furled and they're much like walking canes without having to make excuses for having one - imagine what might have been if I'd actually had my - I mean, a pimp cane on me that night
As flattery done well is always appealing, I can think of no higher compliment than to have my outfit recreated by one so stylish, and will look out for your ensemble with interest
Fredrik - thanks. They may see some use every now and then, particularly when I might need to appear clever
Hey, I just came across your blog! I love your style so much :) Especially your outfit with the green sweater vest :)
Katia, I'm pleased to welcome you to my blog list. Thanks for stopping by. The sweater vest was a very thoughtful Christmas gift - bolder colours being my "thing," after all
