Pieter loves wearing one of his tweed suits during cooler weather...
Like this McGregor.
Guess it is in his DNA... see post below.
January 15 was cool enough for wearing his lambswool vest under tweed jacket with his Silk Ascot from Salvatore Ferragamo and using his Dad's Tie Stick Pin
McGregor used to be a Dutch Fashion brand.
Detail with the Gold Tie Stick Pin
A little seed pearl is being set in this antique gold tie stick pin.
This fine antique gold tie stick pin is still complete with butterfly clutch.
Short 40 seconds video showing how the tie stick pin is being inserted.
Be aware though that in this shortened video, there is NO BUTTERFLY CLUTCH!

The fine silk ascot is from Salvatore Ferragamo, made in Italy.
Does any of you have an ascot for yourself or your spouse?

Hello Mariette, I have never worn as ascot tie. I guess that I have none of Pieter's panache. Is this the tie pin made from his mother's earring that you once told about?

Dearest Jim,
DeleteYou must not have much British in your DNA... Pieter always loved the British style.
Yes, this is the tie pin made from his Mother's earring! You have a great memory and Pieter was only a child, more he does not recall about it. My question was, if she might have lost one earring and created this out of the one left. Pieter does not know as it was way before his 'memory time'.
Hugs,
Mariette
Pieter sempre elegante,buona giornata:Ciao

Very elegant. Great colours.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mariette.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteThank you and guess this shows more of his 'true' DNA.

Mariette
He is a stylish gentleman.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes he remains that way till the very end!

Mariette
Pieter looks so dashing! I'd forgotten just how handsome an ascot can look.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Mariette!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteThank you and yes, it does add to the overall presentation.
Hugs,
Mariette
He looks so handsome! I've always loved to see a well-dressed man wearing a silk ascot, and this Ferragamo print is really super posh!!! I used to wear a lot of silk scarves before we became such a casual bunch of dressers! Still like to 'dress up' with accessories but must admit these past two years I've not really been shopping for fashion! Hope this will change once we can enjoy the stores sans masks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStill 'down south" Mariette? xx
Dearest Mary,
DeleteThank you and yes, this was a perfect silk ascot.
You are right about not having been to many formal events over the past two years.
Yes, we are back from down south, drove home on Monday after our 9 nights.
Shocking to me was however that our beloved Colonnade Outlets near Sawgrass Mills were nearly empty! My favorite Escada store was gone... Last Call by Neiman Markus and also Saks Fifth Off were nearly empty. Quite shocking and the entire area looked so abandoned. What is going on in our once so great nation? No merchandise, killing the retail business completely?!
We enjoyed meeting with dear friends in Lakeland and in Sarasota.
Hugs,
Mariette
I so appreciate a gentleman who knows how to sport ‘the perfect’ additions to a refined and sophisticated look! PS, I have visited Plantation several times, fell in love with it.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteThank you and yes, Pieter sure does know how to put things together.
Haha, your footsteps crossed with ours once again!
Hugs,
Mariette
Va muy elegante y luce ese traje, con gran distinción.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y sí, siempre Pieter ha sabido vestir elegante y con distinción.
Abrazos,
Mariette
He looks so dashing
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThank you and yes, he still does!
Hugs,
Mariette
He looks very dapper. Men just don't dress like that much anymore. My husband loves to get dressed up in a suit. Me getting dressed up? - not so much anymore.
ReplyDeleteDearest Debby,
DeleteThank you and yes, it is true that after retirement there seems less need for dressing up. But Pieter still loves to wear his suits and I do too.
Hugs,
Mariette
He looks satisfied with his clothes and a pin filled with the deep parental love.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteThat is very well worded and indeed, filled with deep parental love!
Hugs,
Mariette
He looks both handsome and sophisticated!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Peter,
DeleteThank you and he always has been!
Hugs,
Mariette
How dashing and elegant he looks! When we married 50 years ago I remember my husband had a silk ascot, but alas, Australia has become so casual these days they are rarely seen. The tie pin is very special and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDearest Patricia,
DeleteThank you and how special that your husband wore a silk ascot on your wedding day!
When one looks around, indeed at certain events things are being handled way too casual. In both our opinions, it still shows the amount of respect for the person or occasion you're going to attend.
Indeed, a lovely and special tie pin; an heirloom piece.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very elegant. They are props that never go out of style.
