Pinstripe
They say that in sales the secret to success depends on
being able to make the client buy something he doesn’t need by making him think
he actually does. This is, at the same time, some of the first things my dad
taught me. It might not always be fair, not to the customer that ends up with a
Toastmaster
Electric Can Opener - Model TCO2 (white) anyway, but most of the time it
brings results.
This past weekend I’ve
had a friend stay over and I applied the same principle, even though to a
lesser extent and to the advantage of the both of us. I wouldn’t really take
advantage of a friend like that, right? Seeing as I’ve embraced the title of
certified Londoner (and yes, I do realize how dumb that might sound but I just
can’t help it) I had an important say in planning our visiting schedule. So one
particularly sunny day I took him up to South Kensington to visit the V&A,
one of my favourite spots in London. Whenever I go there I feel like it’s more
than a simple museum, it’s a place where you can spend a lovely afternoon
relaxing and reading a good book. Since September I’ve had this little habit of
going by the V&A every time I have a spare afternoon whenever the weather
is nice. There’s one particular street around the main entrance that I’ve
always been drawn to, where the sun seems to shine through and illuminate
everything and I’ve always wanted to shoot some pictures over there. This time
I totally took advantage of my friend and made him my photographer and I’m
really pleased with the result. Silly me, I forgot the memory card for my
camera so I had to go back and get it, otherwise these pictures wouldn’t even
have existed.
As for my outfit, I just went with something
quite casual, but wore my pinstripe blazer to spice it up a bit. I’m all for
the elegant but simple look nowadays. Somehow, wearing such tailored pieces
boosts your confidence and gives me a bit more confidence than usual, even on
such casual occasions.
I hope you enjoy, have a great week!
I was wearing:
Uniqlo jeans
