Shell Strands for Walnut Wednesday
A: Breakfast without thought or hesitation
10
How funny, I saw your pic on SF and suspected from the pose that it might be you. Strands looking excellent...as always.

Thanks - It's great to be back in them after they've sat for so long.

I love shell strands so much. Those will probably be my next pickup at some point.
2
There's a trunk show coming up in a few weeks...

Forget the 15th! Leave early, get in Thursday night to SJC for a stay at Casa Dude and we hit SF for the show.
Just sayin'
1
Possible.

Great shoes and I absolutely love mine. I wish I wore them more, but I just don't have a lot of need for balmorals at this point.
2
I love my pair in Burgundy. Here they are after almost three years after a fresh cleaning. Just an iconic shoe.
2
Wow that leather has aged beautifully. Those are sharp man.
1
Thanks! It's really crazy how the red pops in the sun, but they're so much more subdued in the shade. AE's shell in my experience is also super soft, and these are no exception. Really comfy.
2
Wow, those are walnut shell? They must have really darkened!

WSIAWT: Carmina Natty Shell PTBs
AOTD: Easiest question ever. Dinner. Breakfast is life. I could eat breakfast for every damn meal of my life.

Exceptional shoe. I really like the carmina natural shell ptb. A lot.
3
Thanks! It's an awesome shoe. The color variation in the shell (hard to capture) is really beautiful.
1
I have an armagnac pair. I'm prepared to state that the carmina ptbs are the best available overall. I really like everything about mine and I like the natural ones even more.

Big Breakfast has been covering up the James Dean/Jimmy Dean conspiracy for years. Woke

Maiden voyage of the Indys I got in the mail last week. In a 9C these fit like a glove and today was the first day not breaking 80 so it was a good chance to wear them.
AotD: depends, if I pick breakfast can I never eat pancakes again of do I just have to miss the meal?
8
AoTD: I skip breakfast anyway during cuts. Could never skip dinner though.

Rancourt Eastport Penny Loafers
I don't normally eat breakfast, and, as an adult, nothing prevents me from eating breakfast food whenever I like. So breakfast.

AoTD: Since this question doesn’t rule out eating breakfast foods FOR dinner, I’m going to drop the morning meal and gorge in the evenings.

Answer: that’s easy for me to decide. Skip dinner. Breakfast is far too important for the days’ energy. Plus, I can eat whatever I want in whatever quantity for breakfast and lunch, I’ll be fine missing dinner forever.

I almost never eat breakfast anyway so I pick breakfast.

Today - Red Wing Postman Derbies
Edit to add: I forgot to answer my own QoTD. Breakfast is easier for me to skip since my wife usually makes something for dinner.
4
really digging the Homer Simpson vibe you got going there.
1
aotd: breakfast. I do not ever want to go to sleep hungry unless out of necessity for survival.
4
AOTD: If I could count brunch as a loophole I'd give up breakfast
WSIWT: AEs

AoTD: Breakfast. I usually skip breakfast anyway.
3
AotD: Breakfast. I usually skip it on the weekend anyways.

WSIAWT: Grant Stone Dune longwings
AotD: I love breakfast, but it would have to be that. Dinner has so much more variety, social function and is required for me to sleep well.
3
Working from home, no shoes, but my Grant Stone bluchers and Alden longwings are coming today!
I skip breakfast the vast majority of days, so that would hardly be a change.
2
Which GS did you go with?
1
Crimson CXL bluchers
1
Nice choice. What’s the longwing makeup?
1
Lingering? Do you mean Alden? Those are color 8 shell with an antique welt i got from Brogue Shop's last call sale
1
The crimson color is so nice

AotD: Breakfast
New pair today, Leather Soul Vintage Indys. Really liking the smooth chamois. I only ever experienced the roughout and it’s similarly oily. The smooth short nap of the nubuck is cool, lots of variation.
2
Wearing brown suede Chelseas with a dark green canvas pants today. I should try to get off the remaining salt from last winter this weekend on them.
I like to skip the early meals and eat later in the day because it’s easier on my stomach. I like to eat before bed vs right away when I wake up.
1
AotD: I already skip breakfast 90% of the time. So that would be no big deal
1
AOTD: I’d rather die than skip a meal
WSIWT: nothing yet today - late start to my morning. Just gonna be birks later so I’ll post a pic of my recent acquisition I’ve worn them once so far, excited to see how they patina
Natty shell train!
Choo choo
I feel like we have enough floatin around that we should make it a separate category in the patina post
You're a brave man to let your dog get a whiff of those...
Oh she’s an absolute angel lol. She hasn’t chewed anything since she was a puppy 6 years ago. Still, you never know.
You've seen Steve from Bedo's video of the Whiskey longwing chewtoy, right? ;)
I haven’t ha. I’ll check it out
