Yo, I am seriously bugging out.  I woke up this morning to see that my wife featured me on her blog today.  What?!  If I never post again, all of this will have been worth it.  I do not blog in vain.  Thanks, beautiful.   
“I typically don’t feature my husband on this blog, but I just had to give credit where credit is due…  He did a fantastic job packing for our recent trip to Spain.  Even  though he only brought a handful of items, he managed to look fantastic  and really well put together every day that we were on vacation.  I have  to admit that I got a little jealous more than once as he effortlessly  got ready while I struggled to figure out what to wear (especially  towards the tail end of our journey).
I’m definitely taking a page out of his book for our next vacation by  only packing a few key separates that I can mix and match in fun and  interesting ways.” ~the Wife

While we’re on the topic of personal style this whole week, I just want to point everyone toward acutestyle. After following him for quite some time, I’d have to say he’s got one of the most distinguished personal styles of those I follow. His penchant for gingham-checked shirts, blackwatch tartans and colorful chinos might seem rather ordinary on their own, but he’s definitely made them something that distinguishes his wardrobe regularly. It’s a uniform, but extremely colorful, which is something you can’t normally say about a uniform.
Add in the fact that he’s got some different footwear choices, vibrant socks and the occasional baseball cap (which is something I’d ordinarily think looks too casual to wear, but he pulls off) and he manages to put his own twist on all these elements.
