I instantly fell in love with this cotton car coat, especially with the leather details and the tattersall lining. This will probably be my largest purchase of winter, but I expect it to last for a couple of decades.
Then I walked to the Bleecker store, which is my second favorite because it is devoted to men. I was looking for corduroys but did not find the ones I wanted, which are thick, velvety, and with thicker whales. But I noticed this v-neck pullover in a lovely shade of aqua. It looked familiar to me and when I got home I realized why: I have exactly the same color in a sweater I bought at Monoprix a couple of years ago ("Derby" brand), with a crew collar and saddle shoulders. So sadly my RL sweater will have to go back to the store. They had the same sweater in orange and yellow.

I guess it is time for these to be put away because I was told at work today that all my pants are too baggy. It is true that the cut of men's pants has changed significantly towards a narrower leg... and even though these are waist size 31 they do look big on me. Part of me wants to be a rebel and wear baggy pants in order to go against the grain, but when something does not look flattering it is time to move with the times...
