Olen : thank you and welcome, you've come to a happy and friendly place.
Rachylou and Chris : thank you, I'm blushing (come on, I had to do that one
Angie : you don't want me near Sam anyway, he might get kidnapped somehow, such a tiny thing, you must loose sight of him all the time no?
Thanks for the compliments and yes, I finally figured how to take a pic of myself.
Aliona : thank you for your kind words, I'm astonished I could inspire you.
No, collared shirts are not boring, unless you think classic is boring.
I still enjoy wearing mine, mostly under blazers (or on their own in Summer).
I happen to share my office with men that often wear jeans+shirt+sweater looks, so I think I instinctively differentiate myself from them by wearing my shirts collarless&silk (or graphic patterned) under sweaters.
Thank you all for your help, I started the thread thinking blush jeans would be orphans, now I think they're the most versatile thing in the sartorial world.
I will take pics when I've bought them, in the hope of amusing you and making me accountable to capsule homework.
