I have 1672 saved pins on my Pinterest clothing board. When I am bored while sipping my coffee I look for things that I would like to wear. With fall coming I was flipping through items I’ve saved thinking about what holes I may have in my wardrobe. One thing popped out. I have one old denim shirt that I flipped the frayed collar on a couple of years back so that I could milk some more years out of it. But perhaps I could use a new one-with a western yolk- and pearl snaps. Living in rural Oklahoma I could grab a sport coat over it and maybe even a tie under and it would work well in my WFH environment. {see kids-that’s what one calls Justification- neighbor🤷🏻}. I think I would wear any one of these and I think I have a few similar items that these can be used for this fall’s inspiration. Hmmmmmm🤔

Today was a bit more relaxed pace as we relocated back to Tokyo from Kyoto. Up around 0830 and over the road for a quick Pancake breakfast (I swear I am coming home the size of a Sumo Wrestler) and followed by a bullet train ride, then a train and bus to get to the hotel. Unpacked a couple of days clothing, through on some washing then headed to the Aeon Mall to get some dinner and a casual walk through the shops. Still managed 10k steps for the day, however tomorrow and Wednesday are big days at Tokyo Disney then Tokyo Disney sea respectively. Oh, I also added a family photo of everyone in the Hotel PJ’s, Nicole has wanted everyone to wear them, Jade and I wore them just for this photo 😜 Today's outfit consisted of: M.J.

Today was a lot less walking, a few buses and train but a lot less walking. We headed out to Nijo Castle, but as we only had around 45 minutes until then next activity my wife had organised and we would have needed to pay, and maybe not got through much of the castle, we decided to have a look arou d the outside and head in the direction of the activity. With a 1000 start Nicole guided us to the house in Bonchi, Kyoto so that here and the girls could make miniature meals. It was a fantastic little lesson that all three girls really enjoyed. Nicole made a Ramen bowl, Poppy mii Sushi and Jade made a dessert concoction of her own. The only things they didn't make were the bowls or plates, however everything else from the rice and noodles to Jades bananas and strawberries were made by them. I also took the opportunity to take a photo of my new watch in amongst a tray full of the miniature Japanese food. After this as completed and the rain had started we took the opportunity to have a very easy day and headed back to Kyoto Station, there are so many amazing restaurants and small shops inside it is easy to just wander and loose time. So by 1700 we had had lunch, browsed many stores and then headed back to the hotel after an easy 9000 step day. Today's outfit consisted of: Charles Tyrwhitt Textured Jacquard Polo in Airforce Blue Mens Linen Shorts Mid-Rise Straight Bermuda 8-10 Inch 5-Pocket Shorts in ARMY GREEN OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet OTAA Green Fox on ankle Socks Ecco Soft 7 in Grey SOTD - Tom Ford Noir Extreme WOTD - Kuoe Old Smith 90-007 Brown Dial

While technically this is the first Sunday of Fall, and the temperatures have decreased from 106 to 80, it is still a couple of weeks from that crisp feel we are longing for. Consequently I went a bit transitional with a lighter blue slightly heavier wool Robert Talbot sport coat. The brown windowpane pattern lent itself to adding the hand me down brown MTM trousers from my father. To keep things a bit brighter I went with a white on white CT herringbone shirt and a cream with brown and blue pocket square. To tie in the trousers I chose a RL ancient madder silk paisley tie, Panterella socks, Martin Dingman bridle loafers and my 1940’s Ernst Borel watch. Loving these 70 degree mornings and evenings.
