It may interest you to know that, here in the United States, each of our Congressmen has agreed, in the interest of "changing the tone in Washington," to wear left wing laces on his right shoe and right wing laces on his left shoe.

Sorry for the pic. I got this Harris tweed jacket at goodwill for $5 had the sides taken in $20, but I need a second opinion. Does it still look to big, are the shoulders to big? What are some thoughts on the fit?

Not sure what constitutes Friday, but here's what I wore today. Taken in the faculty bathroom at my elementary school.
budgetchallenge.jpg
Shirt 50 bucks tailored in Itaewon. Hat 150? bucks from the local men's store in Merilville Indiana. EDIT: Jacket (how did I forget this) 150ish at uniqlo Scarf ??? gift from mom. Tie 40 bucks from some hole in the wall between city hall station and myeongdong. Sweater ??? gift from mom. Doubt it's that expensive. Chinos from Uniqlo 50 bucks Shoes and socks aren't pictured, but the socks match the tie if you're curious. They didn't make the size of the bathroom mirror.

Came from Muji a few years back at Christmas time..I actually preferred its twin, a more Japanese print, but my brother used it for his wedding, so it's his now!

Thanks Jan, no hidden meaning with the laces, just had them spare, and liked them in these shoes!
