Did you just call your fit a lay up?

a) awesome basketball metaphor

b) Please do not allow old fits. Defeats the purpose. The challenge is supposed to make us dress in a way we would not normally dress and try to do it well. By allowing old pictures, the challenge isn't encouraging us to do anything

Challenge accepted!

This thread is great, I am always pretty 'safe' with my shirt selection but I think it is time to step at least a little outside the comfort zone and try something new.

I'm posting mine tomorrow. I wasn't even going to participate because my only "weird" shirt needs a blue jacket to work, and I didn't have any blue summer jackets - till today

Well that's the problem innit. Everyone has an unusually coloured shirt. Nobody has the perfect jacket to match it.

Impressed that you actually went out and acquired one.

I've actually been searching for an unstructured summer blazer for months. Just happened to find one that fits today... rather short and trendy, but I liked how it looked on me.

I have pants and a jacket to go with the colorful shirt, but I'm stuck on the tie selection. I think that's really the biggest challenge, or at least for me it is anyways, to make it work with the tie and still look alright.

I think that SB really succeeded in that area, and to me that is the most impressive part of the fit.

I know it's not necessary, but I'm not looking for a layup here. ;)
