What are you wearing today?
Jeff Wrangler:
Today, a blue and white striped Oxford-cloth shirt from Lands' End, the dark charcoal corduroy slacks from L.L. Bean, and what I call my "cowboy-biker boots." They're black, and they have a Western heel, but the toe is square and there is a harness around the heel and over the instep.
Good thing I won't be on line tomorrrow. I'll be away tomorrow at a medieval reenactment, so I will be wearing knee-high heavy black boots, black and white vertical-striped tights, a big, poofy purple shirt (like what they used to call a Romeo shirt), a black leather doublet with epaulets and a standing collar, and a wide-brimmed black leather hat. With feathers! ;D

As little as possible. :laugh:
Seriously, this is my get-away from so-called real life. Pretty much I try just to relax, socialize with friends, browse the stalls of the vendors who set up at these events, and enjoy the "feast" eaten by candlelight off fake pewter. I am a "man-at-arms" to my friend, who is "baron" of our local group; his "heir" has recently been chosen, so my friend will be stepping down in June. My duties are actually pretty much of the "help fetch-and-carry" variety, traveling with the baron to make sure he doesn't fall asleep on the way home from events, sometimes helping him to keep track of his schedule. I also do a lot of listening when he needs to kvetch. ;D I've also gotten pretty good at setting up portable shade pavilions for outdoor events! ;D

Jeff, I'm sure you will be able to fit this outfit into your carry-on bag for the Roundup, at least the tights and Romeo shirt if nothing else! We must see it!! I picture you as looking a little like the French guards in Spamalot. Have you seen it? Or, if not, have you seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail?? Can you say, "Your father was a 'amster and your mother smelled of elderberries"?
;D

I had a terrible time getting out of bed today, so I went with a super easy- no frills outfit. A purple turtleneck sweater, black pants and black boots.
TGIF! I can't wait for the end of the day when I can go home and put on sweat pants!

Not likely, little darlin'. I want to make it out of Wyoming alive. :-\ Maybe I'll see if I can't bring some of my garb photos with me. I don't believe I have a full-length portrait in this particular combination. I de believe I have a snapshot of the shirt and doublet from Yule a couple of years ago. I probably should have said "pirate shirt" rather than "Romeo shirt."

Actually, I'm one of those Yanks who just doesn't "get" Monty Python. In fact, I find the Pythons annoying, so I have never seen either of the above. (Why on earth did a bunch of Brits pick the Liberty Bell March for their theme song?) Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served?, and As Time Goes By are more to my taste.
