Formal Wear By Alex Andy Phuong

                                 Formal Wear
  
Formal wear
Elegance and refinement
Grandiose opulence
Wear and tear
Accompanying aging
And dressed up
On the final day
Looking beautifully
Into the Unknown
Towards the natural transition
Towards the next great adventure
