As I sat down to pen this week's Saturday Seven post I was inspired by my cat. Owen was exploring the inside of my closet, curled up on a shelf enjoying the relative peace and quiet of a Saturday morning. I love how he can amuse himself, batting at hanging sleeves of shirts, "boxing" with the dangling ties, or finding comfort on a pile of folded shirts. This inspired me to write another scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Interesting Things Found in My Closet#1 Tommy Bahama Straw Hat- I love this hat. I first bought it for our cruise to the Mexican Riviera last year, to shield me from the sun's harmful rays. It is perfect here in the desert too!
#2 Ascots- Also known as Cravats. I have tons of them, in every color, style and pattern you can imagine. Sure, mostly 90 year old men or Aristocrats in England wear them, but I think they have a distinctive look and plan to single handedly bring them back in fashion.
#3 Waistcoats & Vests- These are the perfect accessory and add a nice touch. I have quite a few actually, that I've worn casually with jeans or dressed up with a tux.
#4 Shoes, Shoes and more Shoes- I like unusual shoes; these are my red leather, and light blue suede shoes. Now that I've written this, Peg & Jennifer will tease me to no end.
#5 Jackets, Blazers and Sport coats Galore- I have a lot of suits and tuxes, but it is my sports jackets that help me express my personality and individuality. For example, in this line up: Green Velvet, Black Crushed-Velvet, Camel Hair, Harris Tweed, and a Tan Herringbone.
#6: Brooks Brothers "Golden Fleece" Polo shirts- I think I have every color they have ever made. Here are just two stacks (not folded very well I'm embarrassed to admit). These are what I wear instead of t-shirts.
#7 Boxes of Stuff- I have a variety of boxes that hold little stuff: rings, cuff links, collar stay-tabs, spare buttons, you name it. I'm always rifling through these boxes to find something to match a tie, jacket or shirt.
Bonus entry- For some reason I have my poker chip set in my closet. Owen likes to bat around the chips if I don't keep the lid closed. I love to play cards, and actually bought this ridiculously overpriced set.
