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🤔

Tonight was Cindy’s 50th class reunion. I had no idea what any of the guys would be wearing, but I was determined to not underdress. I started with my bespoke (for someone else…I thrifted it) blue dress shirt, Anson belt, grey Brooks Brothers chinos, blue Calvin Kline over-the-calf socks and brown Allen Edmond shoes. I topped it all with my navy blue sport coat with a burgundy pocket square just for fun. Out of about 50 men there, only three of us had sport coats and only one, our attorney friend, was wearing a tie. I did bring a tie along, just in case, but did not deploy it. I have to say, my outfit allowed me to feel both confident and at ease. I felt no need to judge those men who were “dressed down, nor did I feel any urgency whatsoever, to apologize for dressing up. Cindy had a lot of fun, so I’ll certainly chalk this night up as a win! Oh, but I do need to remember to straighten my pant cuffs before taking selfies!

Good Sunday afternoon, Dressed in proper fall attire. Opened my windows to let fresh air in & about to jump on a call. Have a good day Gents and ladies. SOTD: TF Café Rose WOTD: Timex

Day late posting this. Yesterday went out with friends to late birthday celebration for me. It was last week but so busy. We did an escape room but failed on this one. So frustrating to fail but we had a nice dinner and the desert at another location. We were missing one of our team as she had a date! Anyway Charles Tyrwhitt sage linen shirt with rolled sleeves over Vertx blue jeans. Brown Anson belt with silver buckle and Beckett Simonon brown suede sneakers. Vincero S2 Chronograph green dial watch and Versace Eros edt! Put on my Stetson Aficionado hat! So tired from the week. Sunday recovery day and much need Texas Rangers win combined with Houston Astros loss on the final day of regular season.

Drove out to Connecticut over the last two days to attend the squeeze in. Did a bit of playing this evening. Wore the red corduroys, a white cattleman’s shirt with black window pane, a dark blue waist coat with subtle stripes, an Irish tweed tie and a felt cap from Bruno Capelo. This was also my travel outfit today.
