This challenge is awesome. SO much talent and creativity on SF.

Still think upr_crust should go clean shaven. If you don't like it, just grow it back.

Preview(if my wife ever finds out i'm doing these things...lol)

Stay tuned - you may well see changes of facial configuration sooner than later.

Going with my own theme, I am sure that I have compiled an ensemble guaranteed to have a feature to horrify you all. If so, then my work is done

. Paying some lip service to nature, today's cufflinks are in the form of scarab beetles (from the gift shop of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford - hometown of the inventor of today's theme, holdfast). Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

I hate to say this, but the fit on your pants, jacket, and shirt is atrocious. I do like the tie and the links, though.

I hate that shirt, but otherwise the outfit is quite neat! I think it would perhaps look great in, say, a gingham shirt in primary colors (red/light green/light blue).

Sorry to interrupt the nature challenge. Second posting here ... interview today. Changed back to office setting = recruiter I'm meeting with told me unfortunately I'd now have to where "khakis". Went back and forth on tie selection. Fixed my socks. Still need to figure out how to get better lighting and better pictures in general. All comments welcome!

I like the suit quite a bit, but I really hope you wore that shirt just for the nature theme!

Being a purple lover, I again love the tie and how nicely it works with the entire ensemb.

Just razzing, dude. The set-up line was too perfect to pass up!

I really feel that suit does you no favours at all, both in terms of pattern and the relatively high 3B.

Do not like, sorry. I see what you're going for here, but it feels dated, which means it would need perfect items and execution to work, and it doesn't have those for me.

They're kind of fun; I might pop in soon and see they have these days.

Nice inspiration. I feel you need a little more light colours in the outfit to truly float like a butterfly. Your dog's interest means she clearly felt the outfit met the Nature requirements, though!

I can see that, actually. Quite inventive.

All the usual postural/photographic caveats notwithstanding, the jacket seems sub-optimal, especially around the skirt area. The trousers also appear to have somewhat muddled lines. Sorry.

Well, that's different - usually, it's the Charvet that gets no love around here.

As for "atrocious" in terms of the shirt, jacket and pants, please articulate - are we talking too loose, or some other measurement of atrocity. For the record, I am not in the least offended by the observation - I am genuinely interested in what exactly you're seeing that you don't like.
