Holly Golightly may have favored Tiffany & Co. when she had the mean reds, but I favor the mens’ department at Nordstrom. I realized the other day that if I were a man running my hands over women’s clothes I’d be a pervert. But I’m a woman, so I can fondle the ties and dress shirts to my heart’s content. 😉 And don’t even get me started on cuff links and shoes.
Just look at these beauties. Double monk strap in brown, and with good old-fashioned cedar shoe trees. I love the smell of cedar…and leather…and shoe polish. I know I’m weird.
This was one of my all-time favorite shows. (I’m not sure which one of the stars I had a bigger crush on at the time!) I recently re-watched a few episodes and realized that it was on the air 30 years ago. What?! The suits Bruce Willis wore were very nicely done and his shirts even better. But I am glad that we no long do pleated pants for men or big shoulder pads for women. I’m laughing at the idea of me in shoulder pads!

In the final years that Dick was working he always had his dress shirts custom made at Arnold’s. He still has beautiful leather shoes with the cedar inserts that he wears once or twice a year..if that. And don’t get me started on his ties. Let’s just say he never met an expensive silk tie he didn’t like! He had some original Jerry Garcia hand painted ties that he gave to Tristan when he had to wear a tie on game days starting in 7th grade. Kim was/is a deadhead!!
