Absolute beginners

When i hit 18 a rebirth of jazz styling came back in fashion for a while. I vividly remember buying my first vintage Smedley from the most amazing shop Jive Hive. I wore it and all the other polo’s, turtle necks and sweaters i soon purchased with 40’s style zoot suits and penny loafers as did my friends.
Transported back in time one night and dressed like Robert Mitchum (in a pink John Smedley Sea Island Cotton Polo), i danced at a masked ball to The Jazz Defektors in the great hall of Manchester Town Hall til daybreak. It seems like a dream but it really did happen that night.
It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.
I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
