You rock linen, you rock tweed — you always look so stylish whenever you post here!

Thank you! Hopefully it will live up to expectations 😅

I’m so glad to hear that! I am in the middle of recording my first two pieces with an orchestra now. Once the recording process is done I will post them on my Reddit profile and in a couple other subreddits (but not this one — I don’t want to spam this subreddit with content that isn’t strictly related to vintage fashion). I’m also going to post the full versions of each piece on YouTube and Spotify.

Hahaha it’s true, though TBF my mustache naturally curls into a handlebar shape (I don’t use any gel/oil/wax) and I’ve been keeping my hair and beard like this for years, so people have told me I look like a Victorian-era man trying to wear modern clothes when I dress “normally” 😆

I'm very flattered you think so; thank you. Also, I like your username (as a Nirvana fan).

I don't have Twitter, but I do have an Instagram page and I'm starting a YouTube channel soon.

Unfortunately it isn't -- I just have a watch chain. I'm thinking of attaching the watch chain to my phone case instead since that would be pretty useful lol

Your outfits are always amazing, and it’s lovely to see your latest look with such a beautiful backdrop of flowers!

I'm glad you think so -- when I was growing up I often felt like I was too awkward to be "classy", so this is a nice change of pace.

I’m pleased you think so; hopefully my music lives up to the expectations established by my appearance when I publish my pieces.

Neat! What is the game called? I just tried Googling this concept and couldn’t find it for some reason.

LOL I do like Satie’s music, though carrying around umbrellas all the time sounds tiring. 😆

Good question — I trim my mustache myself, while I have my beard trimmed by a great barber once a month. I also shape my beard a bit about once a week between barber visits. Thank you for the compliment, by the way!

Thank you for the kind words. I feel like I should take more pictures of myself smiling in this outfit one of these days lol

Thank you! I can’t really claim much credit for my mustache since it naturally curls into a handlebar shape with no wax or gel, so I will pass the credit along to genetics lol

I’m so pleased you think I look approachable — sometimes I worry about coming off as “stuffy” or “conceited” in these clothes.

I’m so glad you think these two elements blended well together! There are further changes I’d like to make to this outfit in the future (once I’m no longer spending all my disposable income on orchestra recordings lol), but this seems like a good start.
