Outfit of the Week: May 10, 2013
Way to go Robert! You’re this week’s #OOTW winner!
Get ready to be suited up by Evolution of Style!
{Looking good!}
Here’s what Robert had to say about his Outfit of the Week:
It’s HOT here in California! So why am I wearing a suit? Luckily, the clouds have rolled in for the past two days, and cooled things down a bit. I felt like this might be my last chance to say farewell to my wools for the next few months so I decided I might as well go with the three-piece.
Gabi’s Take:
I love the little details in Robert’s look: the shaved ice boutonniere, the blue laces, the subtle striping on the suit. I also love that the suit is vintage, because as a vintage shopper, I know how great it feels to find something that fits AND looks amazing.
Megan’s Take:
This win was for sheer grit alone. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to find a three-piece suit that‘s even in the vicinity of fitting properly at a thrift store. Shoes, sure. Maybe a blazer here or there? But a full-on, three-piece? Wow.
Unlike Intern Gabi, I am not a big vintage shopper; I get discouraged when things I find and like are nowhere near my size, or when they’re perfect…but have a stain that you know won’t come out no matter how much oxiclean you throw at it. So props to Robert – and to Gabi! – for putting in the time and effort it takes to be a successful thrifter. And I’m excited for Robert to show us his new, custom suit after being fitted by Evolution of Style!
