Look | 100 Posts

In the grand scheme of things it's a fairly minor milestone but this is my 100th post. With that in mind, I thought I'd put together an outfit using some of the things I've written about over the last few months. Although some of them are no longer available, they should still provide plenty of inspiration. Looking back, there was any number of possibilities but I particularly like the way these items interact. There might be a variety of colours and textures involved but there's a simplicity about their combination. It's an outfit that very much reflects my own personal taste and in keeping with the overall tone of h(y)r, I've always written about things I love. I've tried to provide as much depth and personal insight as possible, focusing on things I have direct experience of or a genuine admiration for. I hope you've enjoyed my contributions so far. I really appreciate all the comments and encouragement, and I'd like to thank Ryan and Owen for asking me to be a part of what they've created.

Jacket: Visvim - Cardigan: 45rpm - Shirt: Studio D'Artisan - Cords: Levi's - Shoes: Russell Moccasin - Tote: The Real McCoy's

Congrats on the 100 post milestone! Your post are always inspired and informative. I particularly enjoy your friendly fire posts. Keep up the great work!

Nice outfit as well. Everything works really well together. Personally, I would switch out the shoes for a pair of the Cola coloured desert boots, but I can see how those Russells would add a nice balance to the bottom half of the outfit.

Loving the wine colour of that 45rpm cardi!

Been refreshing obsessively since I discovered you guys a few months ago. Speaks to my aesthetics in a way no other blog out there seems to. Please keep doing what you're doing it - it's all appreciated!

...And that Studio d'Artisan shit stuns. End of.

like those shoes. and congrats -- 100 is quite impressive. but just remember, Americans think in terms of TRILLIONS these days (on deficits, spending, new healthcare, etc.) ... that should give you something to shoot for!

[Simon]

Thanks for everyone's comments! I really appreciate all the kind words.

Not sure if I'll ever get into the trillions but if I make it to a thousand I'll be very happy!

Well done! Continue the great work on the blog. It's essential daily reading for many of us.

BTW, please divulge the source of those Levis cords. I've been hunting a pair in that color, and the fact that they're Levis only makes them sweeter as far as I'm concerned.

[Simon]

@ Josh... All the items are from previous posts. Sadly these cords are no longer available. Here's the original post though, in case you want more info/pics...
