Sometimes casual dress gets pretty old. I like my bib overalls for yard work, and have more than
a few pairs of favorite jeans, with some pretty ancient sports shirts and t-shirts. But sometimes it's
good to get somewhat dressed up. Cuff links with the appropriate French cuffs are a nice upgrade.
I'm working on my bow tie dyslexia and actually wrestle one into a fair, tight knot now and then.
They can look dorky, but if you get things together, they can look snappy too. I gave my two nephews
each a set of cufflinks, a treble clef pair for the young guitar player, and an art deco pair for the one
who wants to be a USMC legal officer. (I think I'll hold off on the law themed links until he gets into
college -- he could change his mind.) Maybe these kids (just graduating high school) can wear the
cufflinks to the prom; not sure of the schedules on those.
