Outfit - Feeling dandy!



Wore this outfit today. Very basic really, and nothing new except for the bright red ruffle shirt. I rediscovered this one today when I was looking for something to wear. It was hiding underneath a jacket that I seldom use. I have way too few hangers so they usually hold one shirt and one jacket each. 

Bright red is a bit too bright a color for me but otherwise this shirt is perfect! I love ruffle shirts or cravats, especially worn with a vest! Looks quite dandy doesn´t it?

Price tag: Heck if I know... maybe around 40 €, excluding the hat...

Wish list: A white ruffle shirt! I have one, but it is way to big on me... A black ruffle shirt, or perhaps a black lace ruffle cravat, that would be awesome!

Need list: More black pants, I only have three good pairs now! *panics*

  1. Do I spy an Egon Schiele print? (my son's middle name is Egon in honor of him)

    The shirt looks great on you - I don't think it's too red, but maybe the lighting toned it down a bit?

    1. It is definitely an Egon Schiele print! My closet (not the one I live in, the one I keep my clothes in) is decorated with several prints of his pantings! No one else in the apartment likes them but me, so they got exiled to my closet. ;)

      The color is a bit toned down in the pic, and a bit more yellow. The shirt is, in reality, a bright christmas red...

    2. So nice to meet another Schiele fan! I was just talking about him today - drove all night in a blizzard to NYC about 20 years ago to see a show of his drawings.

      Bright christmas red is wonderful - enjoy!!!

    1. I do love to throw in hints of steampunk! The ever present hat adds to that too of course...

  3. I adore your style. That vest with the red ruffle shirt peeking out is wonderful- like it was made to be sold together!

    1. Thank you! I adore anything that adds to my chest and/or shoulders, because I´m decidedly pear shaped otherwise! ;)

  4. Yes, I too love the style, but think the colour is too bright for me. Perhaps you could dye it purple or black?

    1. It´s a synthetic material, polyester I think, so not very dyeable... If I could dye it I would dye it a darker red... I have many black shirts already, and I hate purple, it makes me look yellow... :)

  5. I always love all of your outfits! I desperately need to find myself a waistcoat and a top hat or bowler. And that top is gorgeous. Btw, I've nominated you for an award :)

    1. Thank you! Everyone needs a waistcoat/vest and a top hat! And they are definitely essential to my style! Thank you for the tag! I´ll try my best to find five more odd habits (won´t have to try very hard)!! ;)
