Hi all, here is my entry.

I understood @GMMcL was expecting something unusual from us so you will find here:

- same jacket (first in a suit, then in a mixed outfit)
- two light blue shirts
- AND first tie used as a pocket square in the second outfit:








I have to admit I had some fun here!

Major points will be deducted because my repeated item is a blue shirt. But I just wanted to play.





(...and yes, it's the same shirt. Colour matching is such a *****.)

Now, before you denim dudes get all up in my grill about the fit of the denim in that last set, I've lost about 20 lbs over the last 9 months. Those fit me damn near perfect before. Just this week I found a pair that fit my new frame better, but they hadn't come in before I went away on our trip. So just slow your roll a bit, OK?

Sure @bienluienapris I would have hesitated to try this trick with a tie from Drake's, but this one was thrifted on eBay so I gave it a go.
It actually got back to its natural shape at the end of the day, so no problem.
Fit easily inside the breast pocket as it is rather deep and wide.
So it's now up to 70 more PS for me to play with now. Sweeeet!

Trip

First and second pictures are my entry. Third was just for fun (since how hard is it to go from using a navy jacket separate to using it as part of the suit with which it was intended to be used?)

Clags and GMM, I'm confused. What single item are you wearing three different times in three different fits?

Just doing the challenge twice. Pants from 1 to 2. Jacket from 2 to 3.

1 to 2 is really the challenge though (loudly patterned pants belonging to a loudly patterned suit).

Going from 2 to 3 is pretty meaningless.
