Alexander McQueen braces polo shirt
2007-05-11 17:07:47
This polo shirt is nice! I like the red colour (makes a change), the design (that I can't quite find words for), and in particular the use of the braces . Now, obviously these ones, with the single strap at the back and the buttons, are quite unusual , but you can always draw inspiration from...

2007-05-23 03:40:21
This is the second half of my report on my field trip to Dress-for-less where I also saw this polo shirt. Polo shirts are in fashion, and all the more so given the bright colour! What more could you possibly want? Some trousers to go with it? What about yesterday’s white trousers for example...

White Lowlife punched belt
2007-05-30 14:14:18
I’m really into white at the moment! White shoes, white trousers, white shirt… I’m just into it! It must be a subliminal desire for purity, spirituality, or some other rubbish! (Or maybe the fact that summer’s coming, I can’t decide!) At any rate, today it’s the belt! But a white...
