<p dir="ltr">This beer almost lives up to hype. It is strong, malty with a great amount of spice and gingerbread flavor.  This beer really is great especially when it warms up a little.  It might not be quite a 100 like beer advocate days but it is damn good, if you can find it.</p>

<p dir="ltr">It's the freakin' weekend and time to cool and relax. That's why I went simple with this totally non-ugly Christmas sweater. I scored this one by American Living during the brief period of time when JC Penney actually carried really good brands and clothes. While this sweater may be a little over the top, it's far from ugly. There is a fine line between tacky/ugly Christmas sweaters and those that are just festive and if you're not able to tell the difference for yourself there is no way that I can teach you...</p>

There are really only three occasions where you can wear one, Christmas, St. Patrick's Day, and when you win the Master's. Even on these three times, it is still s tricky move. It really takes some confidence or just a devil-may-care attitude. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because the jacket is over the top, the rest of the outfit is a bit more simple.

<p dir="ltr">It's December 2nd and I'm slowly moving into even more festive attire. This coat is part of a suit that may make <u>an</u> appearance as we get closer to Christmas. I found it on EBay as two separate pieces for under $80. Corbin is a very nice older brand that offered a wide assortment of tartans and plaids. Because it's still early, I broke the suit up and paired it with simple navy pants and a navy blue knit tie. </p>
<p dir="ltr">To add a little more flair I added these green and red socks. Paired with black kilted tassle loafers. This outfit is just s precursor of what's to come...</p>

In light of this warmer than usual weather, I left heavy wool tartan pants and jackets in the closet and instead went for a never-fail khaki suit with a Christmas shirt and tie. </div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;">No pattern screams Christmas as much as Stuart Tartan, the red Royal Stuart is the best known but Dress Stuart that I'm wearing here is equally as festive but a little more subtle. Because it's subtler, I felt that I had to put on a Christmas tie so that noone felt I was slacking on the holiday spirit. </div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;">This tie is made by cape cod and is embroidered not printed, it's little things like this that make a big difference in my opinion. If you can't tell in the picture, the tie features Santa behind a ship's wheel. Remember, it's the holiday season, so don't take yourself too seriously!</div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="font-family: sans-serif; clear: both;">Thanks for reading and be sure to check me out tomorrow for Day 2 of my 25 Days of Christmas Outfits.

In honor of our most sacred right I have donned my most patriotic and republican clothes. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I found this republican elephant watch on eBay. I will be wearing it's matching watch tomorrow. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This awesome republican tie with CNU colors on eBay for less than $10. Fun fact: I used to be obsessed with republican ties I have done sold off most of them and now only own two. The two classiest ones.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, my vote or die socks. I found these at Target for $3.99. They really have fallen off in terms of menswear, believe it or not they actually used to sell some pretty decent suits for cheap, but they do have some neat well priced socks every now and again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Please get out and vote tomorrow. I don't care who you vote for, just VOTE!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Because I don't wear the color black, I have a hard time dressing festive for Halloween. I have to stick with orange, which is fine because it's my 2nd favorite color. </p><p dir="ltr">Here I'm just hanging out with the ghouls. I'm wearing a pair of Tommy Hilfiger pants that I got on eBay for under $25. The Brooks Brothers shirt was stolen from my brother which I know he found at the Goodwill. The jacket is from the Goodwill as well and the pumpkin tie by alynn was purchased from eBay for around $10. </p><p dir="ltr">It's so easy to look tacky during the holidays. The trick is not trying to hard and keeping things simple. While there are a million novelty ties, but less than 1% of them look good and not corny. A good rule of thumb is a small repeating pattern that is stitched not printed on. This pumpkin tie fits the bill perfectly. </p><p dir="ltr">Also, never be afraid of colorful pants.

The mornings are often very chilly but the days are typically a comfortable 75. This makes things a little tricky.  You're going to want to wear something to keep you warm in the morning but you don't want to lug around a heavy coat all day.  As you will undoubtedly see in my blog soon, you can always go with a light coat over your suit or you can step outside the box and throw on a vest over our even under your jacket. <br>
Other men's magazines and blogs have shown this being done before but now's my turn.  As I've mentioned before, you can never go  wrong with a khaki suit no matter what season it is, you just have to make sure that the rest of the outfit matches the season you're in. In this case, orange and burnt orange round out the dot and make it look quite festive. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The suit is from JC Penny's and was purchased on sale for less than $100. The orange gingham dress shirt was procured at the Goodwill. The brown houndstooth bow tie was made for me by a friend. The shoes are by Mark McNairy and were found on what for less than half of retail price and the orange gingham socks, which garner a fair share of attention, were $3 from uniqulo.com. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Overall, nothing in the outfit is too loud and the colors all fall into the autumn palate with just enough umph to make a subtle statement.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just remember dress for the weather but also wear what makes you happy.</p>

Fall is most certainly in the air and this morning was damn cold, like in the 40s cold. I know that in a couple months waking up to 40 degree weather will be down right balmy but I still not used to the chill that's in the air. Since I woke up cold, I wanted to get warm as soon as possible and that meant not only wearing underwear and an undershirt but also a tweed jacket. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I snagged this herringbone tweed jacket at the goodwill for a little over $7 and it's kept me toasty warm for a few years now and will undoubtedly keep me warm for many more. As I said in my previous post, olive green can go with just about everything. These pants really add to the autumn feel of this outfit especially when paired with these brown suede monk straps.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I received this awesome floral tie from a good friend of mine who recently moved away and mailed me a bunch of ties and this one was my favorite. Even though it's colder outside doesn't mean that you can wear floral prints especially if they are in fall colors.</div>
<div>
<br />I hope that you are all getting your wardrobes prepared for fall because the leaves shouldn't be the only things that are changing is the next couple of months. </div>

It's dark enough to not standout too much but will still differentiate you from the black, blue, and grey suited lemmings. Also, 99% of the time you'll be the only guy in the room in a green suit. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One awesome thing about olive or dark green is that it tends to go with just about anything. Dark blue might be the only color that might not go with it but every other color is fair game. I am particularity fond of purple with this suit, which by the way I found at the Goodwill for $20! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since it's October, I wore these subtly Halloweeny socks.

It's a time for tweeds, darker plaids, and coats and jackets. It's the season made for sport coats, and below is one of my newest ones. Believe it or not, I bought this one at the Goodwill for $6. It's a loud, GTH jacket but the colors are 100% fall. Paired with a pair of brown pants that are part of a thrift store suit, a light blue shirt, and a burnt orange/red knit tie; you can't get much more seasonal than this. Even though spring and summer are over doesn't mean that you can't wear fun or colorful clothing, you just need to change the colors up a little bit.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KXR1Il5FtDeucs3A6sxSpjFNM5ewK3ETzC2CrWSQh1CLU4-ewzMPO8nUsF25iNo-j3hE-tFm128at_qo15mWx9lJM-l8kkA9AcU7buixY91TKXraniw3NYtDpG2mRjMpd41M0fHwcRU/s1600/1411515493117.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7KXR1Il5FtDeucs3A6sxSpjFNM5ewK3ETzC2CrWSQh1CLU4-ewzMPO8nUsF25iNo-j3hE-tFm128at_qo15mWx9lJM-l8kkA9AcU7buixY91TKXraniw3NYtDpG2mRjMpd41M0fHwcRU/s640/1411515493117.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjvlyOUfkJPA34L9Q27PVQyeTWE5q8LNW0wLyr7b662XkteUeSQkyvT_-HJc-BV_tLPI4zHoXNldPaf5Q3XQKMqKTfivgJ_kDR3_r6kom-cuaY3scdnhUZCOaNrQBurztSJWfS4H-6KA/s1600/1411515567416.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhjvlyOUfkJPA34L9Q27PVQyeTWE5q8LNW0wLyr7b662XkteUeSQkyvT_-HJc-BV_tLPI4zHoXNldPaf5Q3XQKMqKTfivgJ_kDR3_r6kom-cuaY3scdnhUZCOaNrQBurztSJWfS4H-6KA/s640/1411515567416.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimzZ36UQAfPqww60tjPCpvqZD92yFBJVNCEtpUjuM6r2-5knoDeccJ6yg0QzUPPa7lxLXnsF0j1ayymary0QKK_fEJV87k7I6Bvcrb4MF-NSw-yzvus2IRqz8jWoHHuBH8r1nXnCJKvNk/s1600/1411515591548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimzZ36UQAfPqww60tjPCpvqZD92yFBJVNCEtpUjuM6r2-5knoDeccJ6yg0QzUPPa7lxLXnsF0j1ayymary0QKK_fEJV87k7I6Bvcrb4MF-NSw-yzvus2IRqz8jWoHHuBH8r1nXnCJKvNk/s640/1411515591548.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcDIvc2pmfEEyjE0ow82e4eiIO2-BlF8puH8JsYP8LhL5xVlUvHo_cBpZh52X_vFAmDPSjLAsBjRqTXhaBnzow-3JZ_js1DFhYULH1S2oErVszY6A8kt22RK3jG1GhRsKj6g1RtK6gc0/s1600/1411515619778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcDIvc2pmfEEyjE0ow82e4eiIO2-BlF8puH8JsYP8LhL5xVlUvHo_cBpZh52X_vFAmDPSjLAsBjRqTXhaBnzow-3JZ_js1DFhYULH1S2oErVszY6A8kt22RK3jG1GhRsKj6g1RtK6gc0/s640/1411515619778.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813866354985937904.post-77174113775497590952014-09-19T14:59:00.001-07:002014-09-23T17:50:52.084-07:00Sunday Funday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know that I blend into the couch on this post, but I just wanted asto show that you don't have to dress like a bum just because it's the weekend. This is just a simple button-up polka dot shirt with red chinos. Both of which cost under $10, the shirt from Goodwill and the pants from JC Penney. The kicks are from Cole Haan and the suede and regular leather contrast along with the red stitching really make these pop. Not too outlandish, but they stand out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A style secret; you can never go wrong with red white and blue as long as it's done tastefully and doesn't scream Star Spangled Banner.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just remember, if more people wore colored pants there would be less wars!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPRy1LwJUXQ-NbRnATlaIvRBOoZttQ-hMf4ebqV_icyzir4WTtCIe78U7xtygJQqArMCn4mdpf1yOu6QUivgux1GZxN8Cx8Q3XblCpI952kKSmEpCbhyphenhyphensCGJqQy1n8L4KHP3FaZ1_eQo/s1600/1411163843305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxPRy1LwJUXQ-NbRnATlaIvRBOoZttQ-hMf4ebqV_icyzir4WTtCIe78U7xtygJQqArMCn4mdpf1yOu6QUivgux1GZxN8Cx8Q3XblCpI952kKSmEpCbhyphenhyphensCGJqQy1n8L4KHP3FaZ1_eQo/s640/1411163843305.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCfH468BPgRJDOmsBcJtaIAAW4VeD0Ya59QTzWWECJAL2pDRWPA0faXIic1vD7UBR6lqlTj9mlZsis4wv8Rwz_veKOIv44vfzI-NkTABKidRh3z4SwSP5TXt7jsjPiVpxTfPJoERmD2k/s1600/1411163860974.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCfH468BPgRJDOmsBcJtaIAAW4VeD0Ya59QTzWWECJAL2pDRWPA0faXIic1vD7UBR6lqlTj9mlZsis4wv8Rwz_veKOIv44vfzI-NkTABKidRh3z4SwSP5TXt7jsjPiVpxTfPJoERmD2k/s640/1411163860974.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-E9UAQJXRtpEBRNu5CRp4hBYS0uHWtGeSEiSQA2RmAaUKh6q4Q78tIEZiUPHUVq-_7BInS1Ay8ZV3aCYQGSmrAXiMRifngdWGda4GPIBgSOiasLvuTF63-ZnDkgQlJ6uTll3jfZghHA/s1600/1411163876679.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio-E9UAQJXRtpEBRNu5CRp4hBYS0uHWtGeSEiSQA2RmAaUKh6q4Q78tIEZiUPHUVq-_7BInS1Ay8ZV3aCYQGSmrAXiMRifngdWGda4GPIBgSOiasLvuTF63-ZnDkgQlJ6uTll3jfZghHA/s640/1411163876679.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGJ8o-xP6XmBYf7Ja0CcT_NJP-lnwfaF5tZBcWCRorhfv51tli1Tnj4xpGL-vMk8TNdlyIPPTmS4zb7bmMwfXFgLp83TXwgKTUnEKMpeLGFn99DuZAOxIfrL4XDjYCCWZcZy6X538a08s/s1600/1411163891609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGJ8o-xP6XmBYf7Ja0CcT_NJP-lnwfaF5tZBcWCRorhfv51tli1Tnj4xpGL-vMk8TNdlyIPPTmS4zb7bmMwfXFgLp83TXwgKTUnEKMpeLGFn99DuZAOxIfrL4XDjYCCWZcZy6X538a08s/s640/1411163891609.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813866354985937904.post-70459798299528640152014-09-17T04:20:00.001-07:002014-09-23T17:27:38.833-07:00Tweasonal<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> That strange time in between seasons is one of the hardest times to dress for. The secret is to wear pieces of clothing that have the best of both sessions. This coat is a heavier weight than most summer wear but the colors are bright which lends itself well to the end of summer. Blue, even light blue, is prefect for all seasons. I got this jacket on eBay for $20, and these pants cost me $15 from the Polo outlet store. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The secret to the tweason, is to mix and match summery and fallish clothes. Just enough bulk to keep you warm but light and colorful enough to keep you from sweating your butt off.

It is now known as Patriot Day. In honor of those who died and to give a big middle finger to the terrorist that wish us harm, I decided to wear red white and blue today but do it in a classy way. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The easiest way to wear red white and blue is with a plain khaki suit. Due to my outrageous wardrobe and the fact that I worked for the House of Representatives, I have ALOT of red white and blue clothes. I wanted more than just a patriotic tie, so I decided to wear this awesome red, white and blue gingham check shirt. I got this shirt from a site called Saville Row, a nod to the famous street in London know for its suit makers. At $45, it cost more than i would typically pay now days. As much as I love it, like an idiot I bought it with French cuffs, and I now really hate French cuffs. I really hate the name and I feel that it looks pretentious and Douchy. I usually roll the sleeves up but when I do wear them long, I don't "kiss" them I use a simple cuff link and use it just like a regular button. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since the shirt is loud, I went with a simple red knit tie and a white pocket square with red trim. But I did go hard with my shoes and socks. As you know I love socks and shoes. These socks came from Marshall's and are by Happy feet. These shoes are Cole Haan and you can't tell by the photo but they are white with a blue saddle and a red tongue and red on the back. They are the shoes that started my Cole Haan Air Colton obsession, so I both love and hate them...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The only time that I typically wear lapel pins other than a real or knit flower is on a holiday and usually a patriotic one. I felt that this simple stars and stripes ribbon was subtle, classy, and got the point across. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thanks for reading.

Gingham is a uniform check pattern, typically white with one or more other colors that form small squares. It is currently having a moment in the sun due to a new shirt that JCrew came out with, but do not be afraid of it just because the sloppy, poorly dressed masses have temporarily taken to it. It is still an amazing classic pattern that can be worn to any occasion in any season.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found this Orvis blazer at the Goodwill for $7. To keep it true to it's classic preppy roots, I paired it with a simple white Oxford shirt, a red and navy rep stripe bow tie that came from Marshall's for $10 and a pair of tassle loafers by Mark McNairy. The picture doesn't quite capture it but the loafers are pebble grain leather, which means it has smalls bumps all over it, alike it has goosebumps. Small subtle details that like is what really brings a person's style out of the minor league and into the majors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To spruce up the outfit and make it my own, I went with this vintage silk handkerchief that I "borrowed" from my brother. I also went with some outlandish red polka dot socks that I got for $3 from Marshall's. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While I really like this outfit, the best thing in this post was the meal. Narita's is a sushi place in chester that I've featured in my other blog, The Gastrological Gentleman. Its head sushi chef, seen right behind me, is an old friend of mine and he makes a damn good sushi roll. The food is amazing and the prices are crazy cheap and all rolls are $1 off on Tuesdays. I strongly recommend trying this place out, it's by far the best in the tri-city area.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCTffMGuZXdUoOj2hiXq89q8b5fgZHcmwL-BInNvq4CEPCzTfUbycqSrGxhHpTTShsoF6acAfERMzU6j4eNQ8gZ-xTzSVgs95vuZJHOI1RquUE2kZXslBQVmdLJwPzmHJK8pwKVK4mGg/s1600/1410301058362.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsCTffMGuZXdUoOj2hiXq89q8b5fgZHcmwL-BInNvq4CEPCzTfUbycqSrGxhHpTTShsoF6acAfERMzU6j4eNQ8gZ-xTzSVgs95vuZJHOI1RquUE2kZXslBQVmdLJwPzmHJK8pwKVK4mGg/s640/1410301058362.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8OpxFzXC1dC5-p5rNxbQD3-GIfyp0RE4JX0UxhwhUwVkHZrY1nHv_2Lj1T6MuNjB3EJsRSRZmjLjMdlrrxdVd_B57dcHdjS5y0g1r_8pcIQ-NtfWfUoJTc2_kcXCwdsG_ULAs5e3xVc/s1600/1410303290120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8OpxFzXC1dC5-p5rNxbQD3-GIfyp0RE4JX0UxhwhUwVkHZrY1nHv_2Lj1T6MuNjB3EJsRSRZmjLjMdlrrxdVd_B57dcHdjS5y0g1r_8pcIQ-NtfWfUoJTc2_kcXCwdsG_ULAs5e3xVc/s640/1410303290120.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGOexKqf-1-1lQzX3bM4bwfDohyi2wgCNDLqkEXmyAkWJhEh74ZddiW5ZMNKmhokS0dr-fuYbfuycJOROrl_OfSQk0vlzlOYhk_4Q5RVVC2QjZP8Ij-GArI1RWXDCxddINoxvQW-UQsg/s1600/1410303309119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicGOexKqf-1-1lQzX3bM4bwfDohyi2wgCNDLqkEXmyAkWJhEh74ZddiW5ZMNKmhokS0dr-fuYbfuycJOROrl_OfSQk0vlzlOYhk_4Q5RVVC2QjZP8Ij-GArI1RWXDCxddINoxvQW-UQsg/s640/1410303309119.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGxZBZ4jy1Hm_fIBq3m6GHGMGoCXNzCxbkgx43afZ3lxwv0kPgJZDQtkgT4VHDuKEnLNGqtJ8__gFIIJRW3hN0g81ElOhkYhWv-i96xt9y7dUbhHz6g1s1K6NehnhQXMcR0JmXs_o6ro/s1600/1410303370336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAGxZBZ4jy1Hm_fIBq3m6GHGMGoCXNzCxbkgx43afZ3lxwv0kPgJZDQtkgT4VHDuKEnLNGqtJ8__gFIIJRW3hN0g81ElOhkYhWv-i96xt9y7dUbhHz6g1s1K6NehnhQXMcR0JmXs_o6ro/s640/1410303370336.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813866354985937904.post-70907898178781101782014-08-21T14:24:00.001-07:002014-09-14T13:00:50.153-07:00End of Summer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another post that is as few weeks late. I guess I saved all of these seersucker ones because I knew how sad I would be once I put my seersucker suits away until next year. Here I'm rocking the often overlooked tan seersucker. Because it is subtle, you can do alot more in terms of shirt, shoes, and accessories with tan seersucker. To really make a statement, I wrote this bright pink dress shirt that matched my tan and pink saddle shoes. These shoes were a steal on eBay. While the white sole really stands out it makes the shoe alot less dressy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To play off the pink, I wore this argyle bow tie that I actually got as a pair with a matching one for Harvey. This outfit not only shows the awesomeness of seersucker it also shows that if done correctly you can wear absolutely any color dress shirt under a suit.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhomx5VxBya9rGCa1fA4FonxpC9dQ3pAcr4NeTTlWL979RehbLTHLkF9d6juSP_3qMoWzOEf3Vvb4on3Iq0r7z4Ci8OVflr8CJ7rqLMrfFod-7UpJ9HZ-1vyftk3iYBNO0fIkgFF4dzO84/s1600/1408656119426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhomx5VxBya9rGCa1fA4FonxpC9dQ3pAcr4NeTTlWL979RehbLTHLkF9d6juSP_3qMoWzOEf3Vvb4on3Iq0r7z4Ci8OVflr8CJ7rqLMrfFod-7UpJ9HZ-1vyftk3iYBNO0fIkgFF4dzO84/s640/1408656119426.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNccg60Ykesrt2cSItMbcDPkxeQXxd2t_UXqHPDPDISV9Tr9dE2565VtNYBLCA7aPDORCsxsTKA3kg8sqNxmgttxfbE-Ye96JMsT9Mlvf5gma8-uiSwZ9D0woAMgtW1ZK3-YpLwVWT5A/s1600/1408656149062.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLNccg60Ykesrt2cSItMbcDPkxeQXxd2t_UXqHPDPDISV9Tr9dE2565VtNYBLCA7aPDORCsxsTKA3kg8sqNxmgttxfbE-Ye96JMsT9Mlvf5gma8-uiSwZ9D0woAMgtW1ZK3-YpLwVWT5A/s640/1408656149062.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCys8U5aKhNbAdLV6q5apzrhBqFgZw_4k9QJqRmAan7w1DE2COOMecvPGXboWiaSs_RsbpICzzZk1wuv8wv-kH1UFOxu9NFl31pv_PE54kYthFVd3q8dV0NGnLF9PWLgcgQxKKrPXZuaw/s1600/1408656195347.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCys8U5aKhNbAdLV6q5apzrhBqFgZw_4k9QJqRmAan7w1DE2COOMecvPGXboWiaSs_RsbpICzzZk1wuv8wv-kH1UFOxu9NFl31pv_PE54kYthFVd3q8dV0NGnLF9PWLgcgQxKKrPXZuaw/s640/1408656195347.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKN3xoawSFMkMS69u0zM9MsLfOvkngTR85v4rdeQl44tmRXzNV4FEY6GjSdgu2GHKEMI7rlJcd7X6-A0JZ6Y2yfFcC4_3JCYq3QfH9F4Vf7cFxEllucqvL4HY5iGeLgg3Qj8subBMEtU/s1600/1408656220280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKN3xoawSFMkMS69u0zM9MsLfOvkngTR85v4rdeQl44tmRXzNV4FEY6GjSdgu2GHKEMI7rlJcd7X6-A0JZ6Y2yfFcC4_3JCYq3QfH9F4Vf7cFxEllucqvL4HY5iGeLgg3Qj8subBMEtU/s640/1408656220280.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813866354985937904.post-86068449651638053152014-08-20T16:55:00.001-07:002014-09-14T12:17:28.093-07:00Red<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Sadly, seersucker season has come to an end. Spanning a 99 brief days from memorial day to labor day, it is always sad to say goodbye to my favorite fabric. Over the past year, I have acquired almost every color seersucker suit except for the elusive purple and red white and blue. So of you ever find either of these please let me know! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This photo shoot was taken a few weeks ago but I've been slacking on my posts so I'm just being to it now. Pictured is my red seersucker suit that I found at a sketchy men's clothing store for $100. I think that it's one of the best finds I've found in a long while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because a red seersucker suit is quite loud it is best to keep everything else a little more toned down. As with everything, you can never fail with a while dress shirt. While this multicolor polka dot bow tie is not exactly tame, the colors are muted and I felt that the colors went very well with the red. I actually bought this fabric and had a lady on Etsy make me a bow tie. This was before i leaned how to make my own. To dress it down a little and add to the summer time flair I chose these beige canvas and tan leather saddle shoes by Cole Haan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am certainly going to miss summer and seersucker but I'm excited for Fall and all the tweed and pumpkin flavored things that go along with it!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhec2SwWi95kx_aPUj4Q1BT1icBKJV3AcBL4qT_ELlf5IStCaQ9W5bC9IDUK5PWMq4rpmcCibrLD0eDRSnTMagijqOOnvuBwDq6ADJ03VFDkKNpDgFI22l6JhtPODBhDivnm9pCsGn75dw/s1600/1408578758677.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhec2SwWi95kx_aPUj4Q1BT1icBKJV3AcBL4qT_ELlf5IStCaQ9W5bC9IDUK5PWMq4rpmcCibrLD0eDRSnTMagijqOOnvuBwDq6ADJ03VFDkKNpDgFI22l6JhtPODBhDivnm9pCsGn75dw/s640/1408578758677.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMJft_j-Mn_j2DL4heD13D8x74nHc7vy-MDOulsdd3oP81s_0vc1EWw106mXJBFNks6aSH8fb98Who2bD8R30l__5d1zvUuD_Rdlf5dlRsbDuzn02iRJtf4v76hj_4F_M9qU-DHlFmro/s1600/1408578807083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMJft_j-Mn_j2DL4heD13D8x74nHc7vy-MDOulsdd3oP81s_0vc1EWw106mXJBFNks6aSH8fb98Who2bD8R30l__5d1zvUuD_Rdlf5dlRsbDuzn02iRJtf4v76hj_4F_M9qU-DHlFmro/s640/1408578807083.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrRvvf8D8DURXS2pev9FBIBowXJ_-fmGeDzP8qdjk18jnY_Pp087HT4plpm5cs7gRTmsF3Tf4ojsfG_mkFqHGjHaGta2J8rdRK_BOJBWQhevcVCm56d4L7CE50EFzAwAaX7j-dgpJH6o/s1600/1408578898556.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihrRvvf8D8DURXS2pev9FBIBowXJ_-fmGeDzP8qdjk18jnY_Pp087HT4plpm5cs7gRTmsF3Tf4ojsfG_mkFqHGjHaGta2J8rdRK_BOJBWQhevcVCm56d4L7CE50EFzAwAaX7j-dgpJH6o/s640/1408578898556.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2813866354985937904.post-38291136877447833012014-08-14T14:59:00.001-07:002014-08-22T04:22:06.125-07:00Pretty in Pink<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Pink, it's not just for girls anymore!

Certain occasions, usually dealing with work require a certain look and dress code. The secret to great style is know how to work within a set of rules but still make an outfit your own.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In this work outfit, I went with a traditional color suit, gray, in a traditional yet fun pattern, Glenn plaid with blue, which I got for $100 T JC Penney and then made the accessories my own. The easiest way to make a dull suit pop is to wear either a pink or yellow dress shirt with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As always, I love bow ties so I had to wear one with the more conservative outfit to lighten it up a little and It's almost impossible to go wrong with blue gingham. To make the outfit less top heavy, I went with these different but not extremely loud blue and brown Cole Haan saddle shoes. They make a statement without slapping you in the face.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just remember just because you have to dress conservatively it doesn't mean you have to be boring.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJXAu_s1BSmz0N-3Njw1oMQ3UVr14GOgLjJ7x9ey3MMS6y-kj21Ki5x-vWVBv-Qntpp6DD6cJR-bzbMVG-x6Vi8R5Nc4kqYNEcfzTjh9jrFukw14MofiVxVWYvQ3khd49UB9bptroeek/s1600/1407536499009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKJXAu_s1BSmz0N-3Njw1oMQ3UVr14GOgLjJ7x9ey3MMS6y-kj21Ki5x-vWVBv-Qntpp6DD6cJR-bzbMVG-x6Vi8R5Nc4kqYNEcfzTjh9jrFukw14MofiVxVWYvQ3khd49UB9bptroeek/s640/1407536499009.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaEt85g_zGC9QFtLo-ytgzuYILFUmRdtJr3moorfKdvotAeL5yhDcFTCmgCfNmw9Z3-K1J46_OZuJJzVEdB_Rk8TzCrqmpSM6PWPQ6sbOZVCeNt9xZ5tNOYafkmdxsMj0yQJGxdirrhME/s1600/1407536526170.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaEt85g_zGC9QFtLo-ytgzuYILFUmRdtJr3moorfKdvotAeL5yhDcFTCmgCfNmw9Z3-K1J46_OZuJJzVEdB_Rk8TzCrqmpSM6PWPQ6sbOZVCeNt9xZ5tNOYafkmdxsMj0yQJGxdirrhME/s640/1407536526170.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBxjDnx41YKAfRv8PelG1wwOJD63VXWeIOG-GWkOChztHLM3JlNNV22zRskLE5-QEyyz_2R2XjLTdm_9L-NFPog5GHpAzRT3JBHsz4VkRlPTn1i3h9aQds5FDji2f5mnybPKGfPcTLNQ/s1600/1407536546341.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBxjDnx41YKAfRv8PelG1wwOJD63VXWeIOG-GWkOChztHLM3JlNNV22zRskLE5-QEyyz_2R2XjLTdm_9L-NFPog5GHpAzRT3JBHsz4VkRlPTn1i3h9aQds5FDji2f5mnybPKGfPcTLNQ/s640/1407536546341.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBNN90GXQlvVgJwMshl-MqFw0GeP5WQlSRTMio1a_TmHnPt3vN-Y2AnWpFlYpuSl4qxDQMG99vPJHwno939R5l7bH2b68eFDQrSdHAtBCpQ5HE7eRYaxjZM7vOYgDR442kRsjwYQHDGs/s1600/1407536568392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvBNN90GXQlvVgJwMshl-MqFw0GeP5WQlSRTMio1a_TmHnPt3vN-Y2AnWpFlYpuSl4qxDQMG99vPJHwno939R5l7bH2b68eFDQrSdHAtBCpQ5HE7eRYaxjZM7vOYgDR442kRsjwYQHDGs/s640/1407536568392.jpg"> </a> </div>THE GASTROLOGICAL GENTLEMANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05902497334788370676noreply@blogger.com0
