Yakkeks Embroidery Diary
I decided to move all my embroidery posting into this space. That way I can wax as long as I want about my process and thoughts and all that stuff without clogging up the #DIY channel with it.
The goal of this thread is to share the thoughts I have on my projects, but absolutely feel free to ask questions, give feedback and so on....
Wardrobe Analysis 2.0
Link to analysis 1.0 from last year
https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1202997506821333002
One of the first things I did after joining here last year was to do a wardrobe analysis series of outfits. After a year on here and MFA discord I wanted to do it again. The basic idea is to do a little lookbook that features essentially everything I own (there are a few ties, a navy sweater, a hat and maybe a scarf missing but I think that’s it). I tried to do it by repeating as few items as possible, mostly just a few jeans and a couple shoes. I didn’t have time to do all new pictures so some are from fits in the last few months. ...

Yale's 20-Item Dress Study Style Guide
Found the style guide drafted by Yale's dress study group in the translation of Take Ivy (c 1965) and thought of it as the spiritual ancestor to the Basic Bastard, especially compared to the other articles being printed at the time (c 1961).
Me being me, I saw an opportunity to try something out and followed the guide for a month (this was in March but I got sidetracked by fit battle and such). I posted my thoughts on Substack because there's a lot of pictures and Discord formatting sucks lol.

excited to wear this fall
I think it would be fun to have a discussion concerning what we're all excited to wear this fall, inspired by the Die, Workwear annual post of the same name.
For me, I picked up a Jack Murphy of Ireland lightweight wool coat on sale in LATE winter last year, and it's really the perfect weight for weather between 32-50 F. Haven't been able to wear it outside yet, but green is my favourite color and I'm stoked to finally have a long coat in a nice green donegal wool.
There's alot of color variation in the flecks, which will make pairing it with anything up top pretty braindead, and I'll probably live in my brown and tan cord pants, so really I'll only have to worry about my footwear....
