Outfit of the Week

5.16.12
Inspiration:Salmon Rushdie
What: Buckler pink pinstripe button up with removable sleeves, Levis 511 red chinos, Ciro Landini brown oxfords and Ferragamo portfolio
Why It's My Favorite: As you may have already guessed, I don't work in finance. I'm not an attorney nor am I a Republican GOP consultant. Mitt Romney is not knocking on my door for style advice...although I'd sure like to tell him that he looks like the guy on the box of Just for Men hair color and he needs a new haircut.

But I work in sales/marketing and power suits are reserved only on the days you have really big meetings with clients. The majority of the time, we just dress in casual corporate attire which equates to button up shirts and slacks. So wearing a shirt with removable sleeves paired with red chinos is perfectly normal in the office. Besides, I keep a navy blue blazer at work to pull this look together and more professional.

This outfit made me think of the author Salman Rushdie who went into hiding because of the fatwa issued by the Ayatollah. Once the Ayatollah died, Salman came out of hiding and I thought to myself, if I came out of hiding, I would wear my salmon colored shirt (of course) with the brightest pair of pants in my closet to announce to the world "Hey world...I is here!"
