Much appreciated.

dat formosa tho


It's niiiice. I work for the military and most of the civilians couldn't care less about their appearance. People are used to me in suits, but "dat Formosa" got people's attention. Not that I aim for attention, but it was nice to see how many people noticed it's awesomeness.

My entry. I included a full shot because I thought my hair (badly needing to be cut) resembled some of those fine Italian businessmen examples.

Dark brown suede balmorals would be the safer, Italian conservative business dress-eccentric go-to.

Agreed with this. And I didn't think I could stomach black oxfords today.

I'm glad I have no reason for conservative business dress this week, as I would fail miserably at this challenge. I'd be down to repeating last week's challenge suit, boating jacket, or one of my brown odd jackets.
