With July 4th comes the summer sales and the retail worlds' shift from patch madras and pastels to critter corduroy and cashmere. While I haven't gone as far as getting all Shaggy Dog on y'all, below are a few things I've picked up or plan to across the coming months:

- Gingham Poplin: Best value in quality and fit. Monogram in navy.
- Cotton Shawl Cardigan: In Navy with pockets. Note: $24.99.
- Bahama II: Vented back keeps you cool in the dog days of August.
- Persol Polarized: A classic alternative to my Ray Ban Caravans and 4115s.
- Stand Ups: Cause the current pair a getting a bit too much wear.
- Oyster Buckle: Done like only Sid Mashburn can do.

That buckle is absurd... I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI'm with BJP - the buckle is terrific. Perhaps you can find your own oyster to gild when you're out fishing in that blue shirt...
ReplyDeleteBJP: Those Stand Ups are 'softball coach short' 5" in your honor.
ReplyDeleteAEV: I'll grab you one too.
Stand-ups, like a fine wine, only get better with age.
ReplyDeleteD- Just laughed out loud re softball coach. Visor "Jodi" should weigh in here also. You know I only wear the 5's... They are NOT Bermuda's for God sake.
ReplyDeleteProps from the Range on the buckle, which, though you didn't win it in a rodeo-riding competition, will do nicely as a understated "centerpiece". Already longing for those months ending in "R" !
