Wear it on Wednesday!

 

#1 here. When I mentioned last week going to get my uniform for the Paralympics (same as the one for the Olympics, actually) where I shall be officiating as a steward for the para-dressage events, to be held in the park of the Palace of Versailles, quite a few people requested that I post photos of myself modelling them. A couple of items have been taken to my dressmaker for alterations (sleeves and trouser legs too long), so this is somewhat curtailed, but here goes:


The shoes are black with pink (!) accents. In fact, everything has pink accents. At least a little splash of colour in the terminally dark shades of grey! We have also been issued with four pairs of socks, two light grey and two dark grey.


The Panama hat is pretty cool!


Back view of the "everyday polo shirt" with the everyday convertible trousers/shorts. We also have white long-sleeved shirts and "elegant" trousers, to be worn during competitions, along with an "elegant" sporty jacket. And there is a rain jacket which we hope we won't need.


See you in Versailles!

  14. Chaplin: "That outfit looks great! We especially like the hat, as it reminds us of the ones that Dennis used to wear when he was being debonair on his adventures!"
