If only I could pull it off...  Some of those Elizabethan dresses on that site would be awesome.   But I make such an ugly drag queen regardless if it is 19th, 20th, or 21st century fashion.

Well, at least none of the gents is contemplating woman's clothing %-{)>

Dressed like that I'm sure you'd have a very thick skin ;)

 

Not everyone can pull it off, or has the self-confidence to cross against the lights in the world of fashion.

I prefer to be considered stylish and hip. Dress for the party/job/mood you want.

Even by the 1920's and 1930's you'd be made fun of if you dressed like that in old blighty. ;)  Dandy indeed!

Yes,  but Aaron likes to dress like a dandy.

Aren't Victorian fashions a bit early for most of the vintage Brit bikes being ridden in  your typical Tweed?  It's a good 50+ years prior to my almost-new 1954 Raleigh Sports.

I am so looking forward to the cozy hearth :)

 

I will add my suggested stop of Blue Star wine bar, 1209 N Noble, open 6pm-12am on saturdays.

Awesome!

 

I'll be sure to have the Raleigh in rideable condition that day at least.
