My Dad, My Style Idol.

Everything I believe to be true about clothing I learned from my father- pockets are essential, leather looks best when it is old and worn, denim is the king of fabrics, you can never go wrong with a scarf, a great jacket can last you for years, and the best finds are always second hand.

When I was going through the most recent J Crew the other night I noticed that the styling was taking a page right out of the David Joyce handbook. So I went and found a few photos of my dad when he was living (in a cave) in Greece, and some more recent picture from my childhood.

Neck scarf? Plaid? Dessert boots? Yup. He had them all...45 years ago.
Go Dad! I miss you.
