Very windy this evening and temps are dropping. My first concern with getting dressed up this evening is the weather, temperature, and wind. I wore my granddad's old hat with a 3inch brim, usually fairs better in high winds like tonight. Stetson silver belly with brown leather hat band, it has a coffin crown shape with a steep pull down on the brim. Filson Tin Cloth jacket for wind protection Black puffer vest I got from an estate sale Brown corduroy shirt Wrangler Jeans Tony Lama boots I've had since 2011, in a good brown color that looks black in most lighting.

In keeping with my colors of Christmas theme, I chose a gold sweater (Christmas liturgical colors are either gold or white) to go under my Royal blue blazer with a gold and blue pocket square (to celebrate the Advent season). Grabbed a green with light blue and gold micro dot shirt and a green rep tie with gold along with my grey flannel pants. Pantherella socks, 1982 Cole Haan Waxhides and my Seiko Model 5. Having lunch with a pastor client today.

Dinner with some friends/networking.

I do believe my Irish roots run deep
