It was turkey day, and, as my wardrobe would have it, time to break out some goodies. I had a few options too, most exciting. I first thought simple... solids... but after a quick appraisal of the new Ike Behar, Ermenegildo Zegna & Ted Baker shirts I have acquired over the last few months, I figured it was time to put them to work.

| ESQ Aviator Beacon Watch |
What I have pictured first is a fall over a watch I absolutely pine for when I adorn a sweater over a button down. The watch is sized so that is does not move from that position, the sleeves of the shirt are hemmed accordingly, and the sweater merely adjusted in conjunction with desired location.
The color choice didn't sit well with me at first, yeah, I was surprised too. I wore a pair of light tanned window pane pants, flat front, with a very light turquoise and very dark brown pain stripped pattern. My initial choice to accompany was a soft pink Ermenegildo Zegna with this sweater, which is a beautiful Merino Wool. But at the end of the thought, I felt it was safe, and safe was not my direction on the day. I ran my fingers through many shirts, crossing this one a few times. After settling on the Ted Baker, I figured a pink cashmere would be the quality sweater to wear, and although it would've been nice, the pattern in the Ted Baker would have been lost, I needed something to accentuate the plaid textured button down. It was unsettling at first to drape this turquoise sweater over the selected shirt pictured, but as you can see it all came together quite nicely.
I am upset that I didn't have the chance to photograph the garments as a whole, the shoes really brought it all together. I went a most unconventional route wearing a pair of Romano Martegani Athletic Inspired Driving Shoes. They are two tone brown and tan and are more beautiful than I can describe. (I will try to photograph them with the pants tomorrow and post later)
