Unleashing my inner old man
Jump to Comments
He’s British I think. Judging by all the plaid and tweed. Or he could be Irish.
Either way, with the hunter rain boots and the men’s plaid shirt, my inner old man would be well dressed for the foggy countryside.
I sewed on the elbow patches myself. How shocked are you that I’m actually doing my own DIYing?
And then there’s my hat. Which is from an old man hat shop. In Dublin. Obviously.

I must say
it’s very rare that I find irish old men’s legs so pretty.

Kelsey, you’re my hero. I LOVE elbow patches on blazers but I know that I could never “do them myself” hahaha my sewing skills are mediocre at best. Not even actually. Your inner old man is chic! Great fall outfit :)

great bag!! I remember you telling me you wanted something in that style.. it’s similar to my old man bag that you saw me with (and complete with the old man smell inside). gotta love the church sales!

The old man cap and the DIY elbow patches really make your outfit work!
BTW- that last picture– what are you pointing at? :) Inquiring minds want to know.

The blazer is such a nice mix of feminine sweetness and musky masculinity. I’ve been to Dublin too! Miss that friendly cool city

I never really thought I would say I like the old man look, but the old man does look like a distinguished professor.. I say that in the best way. I like it elbow patches and that amazing bag.

Where is this old-man-hat-shop in Dublin you speak of?

I love the last photo, pretty! It’s like after following your site for a while, i am glad you are revealing your looks, ok at least the side face for now! xo
I think you did an amazing job on sewing the elbow patch and that hat must have been a great find.

WOW! This is what I have missed, your FABULOUS Fashionable outfits! This is one of my fave outfits from head to toe of yours! I must say I am very happy to be back in the blogosphere unfortunately due to working two jobs since my permanent one cut my hours in half I haven’t been able to post or comment!
Now I can get my daily dose of the Anthology!:))

Love this look! A friend of mine actually dresses like this constantly (he’s a guy though) and people keep thinking he’s British. Haha… I always thought I should try it out, because I do love tweed and the caps.

i especially love the first photo …. xx

If loving tweed means you’re an old man…color me geriatric!
