I suspect most people are just a little lost in a casual wilderness where perhaps they don't have the confidence or insight to make an effort. As I have hopefully demonstrated, it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to be well presented.G.M.

I live in hope of unearthing a typewriter such as the Remington.<br /><br />I did spy an Imperial model a week or two ago but it sadly had a hefty price tag attached to it and I was watching the old pennies at the time. I convinced myself it didn't meet my exacting standards in the hope of quenching my desire.<br /><br />I often join you in the wry smiles. Although it must be said, I am noticing an increasing number of leisure-clad people in their more advanced years. At least with the younger set, one hopes they will realise their sartorial crimes and make amends in later life.G.M.

I'm a big fan of ...Splendid stuff, old chap! <br /><br />I'm a big fan of the old beneficiary boutiques too and like yourself have picked up a couple of grey wool jackets for use in very similar ensembles, plus an absolute steal of a checked number that I made tell of <a href="http://eclecticephemera.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/woolly-christmas.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I've yet to find anything particularly "vintage" as some other bloggers have done (unless you count the Remington typewriter in the local Oxfam!) but I live in hope and haven't done too badly so far, if I do say so myself.<br /><br />Indeed I often have a wry smile to myself when I see people (especially the younger set) dressed in sports wear and shiny plastic fabrics, wearing plimsolls that probably cost more than my entire outfit! If only they realised, eh?Bruce Partington-Planshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336280062885272950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2953251855829266228.post-4405186275185520412012-12-15T18:36:25.976+00:002012-12-15T18:36:25.976+00:00Fantastic bargains, you look very dapper!
