Debonair

The frost was back this morning. Luckily it's half-term, so the additional time I spent waiting for the car to defrost was compensated by relatively clear roads. It was the coldest morning I've experienced since last Winter, and a clear sign that genial weather has departed for 2010.

I have a wedding to go to this weekend, so I was thinking about what to wear today. A dapper gentleman has to plan ahead! It gave me an idea for a still life that only took a few moments to set up and shoot.

I initially wanted to add a tie to this set-up, but my brother has moved to London and took all my best ties! In the end I think it was probably better without, as I like the simplicity of this shot and the texture of what is my favourite smart jacket.

With my best ties gone I need to go shopping this weekend. I could also do with a shirt or two, so the wedding is a great excuse to go clothes shopping... like I need an excuse!

Well done man. Always nice to dress up, I seem to have entirely too few opportunities to do so. Love the shades of blue in this one.

Nice!

I, too, like to get a suit out of the cupboard whenever an excuse presents itself. :)
