I Am Done Wirh My White Shirts!


I found this bright yellow Lands End buttondown shirt up in Amy's closet.  It has not been worn much and the color is a brilliant bright yellow, not the pale yellow which is the only color you can buy today.  I realize that it must be boring seeing me wearing white buttondown shirts every day.  So, no more!  I will put them all away and start buying brighter colored shirts from now on.  I actually have, from years ago, dark blue buttondown shirts!  That was a different phase in my fashion style!  This will be life-changing.  No one will recognize me!  And now here is a tale out of school, something I just learned...  You all recognize the name Ken Schwarz, who is a great friend of mine who always comments here?  Well, in a conversation we  just had the other day, he said when he retired he got rid of ALL his buttondown shirts!  I was stunned!  I could not even BREATHE if I didn't have buttondown shirts to wear!

Secondo - you certainly brightened my day with your bright yellow shirt. To be clear, not long after I retired, I retired all my suits, sport jackets, several of my Italian silk print ties, and many button down shirts. BUT, I do have a navy blue bespoke blazer plus three button down shirts (white, blue, blue/check) just in case I get invited to a wedding or a funeral. Personally, I prefer to keep those types of social situations to a bare minimum. Enjoy your new look!

Nice change, but I won't believe it until I see it moving forward. I won't recognize you LOL.

Woa! First I see you without a purple sweatshirt. Now you going to wear non-white shirts. Lifechanging!
