What are you wearing today? just a fun thread.

Today I chose my houndstooth checkered pattern blazer. Houndstooth, sometimes called Dogtooth is something of a misnomer so I thought that I would show you an example:

My goodness me how times have changed. This example Google found, on a forum probably for the younger set, judging by the remarks like: "That is so cool." Cool? If I had turned up for work at that young fellow's age, looking like he does, I would have been sent home.

I guess it's only fair to show you my houndstooth blazer, so that if Google should send the young fellow this way he can uplift me for a round of mocking on his forum.

Its another warm-dry day in the Pacific NorthWET (actually Sept and Oct have not been wet at all). I am arrayed in black shorts, a blue-gray (grey for my British friends) Carhartt T-shirt and a pair of slides. Drinks and a cigar on the patio are the plan of the day.

Jeans from the back of my closet and a blue striped rugby shirt.

Last week I took in several pairs of pants to have the waist taken in by 2 inches. In addition to radiation, my treatment for prostate cancer included the Doctor putting me on hormone shots for almost three years. Those shots took my testosterone down to zero and gave me all the symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, loss of muscle mass, and weight gain around the middle. After I got off those hormones, it took about six months before my testosterone came back to normal and the extra weight around the middle dropped completely off. I am back to a size 34 and the pants that had been let out to accommodate the extra tummy are being resized, except for the few in the back of the closet that escaped being let out.

I don't know why it took me so long to get fed up with having to fold over the waist band on my pants. Now I am going to have pants that actually fit again.

(LOL, getting the muscle back is an entirely different matter as I will turn 80 in a few weeks.)
 
Dark blue blazer with stripes, a light blue shirt with white cuffs and collar, that collar being a style known as penny round.
Blue chequered neck tie. Light blue trousers and a pair of two tone spectator shoes all topped of with a navy blue fedora hat.
 
I wear gym clothes almost every day because my time at the gym is central to my visits to grocery stores, walking by the lake, etc. I live in a pretty casual neighborhood. The two days that my hubby is off work I wear nice shorts and a button-down shirt to go to lunch. That is "dressing up" since retirement.

I wore suits or sport coats, dress shirts and ties when I was working, going into the office and attending conferences. I actually used to enjoy dressing up, but those days are behind me.
