Today, I tried out a rather, “conservative?” outfit with mainly just blue and brown tones. I’m still trying how to use purple, but for this outfit, I leveraged the tie which incorporates both colors and the cornflower which has a purplish undertone. Blue, Beige, Khaki Checked Jacket. Lavender Shirt Blue Paisley Tie Navy Pocket Square Brown Knitted Edges Dark-Washed Denim Cafe Brown Suede Chelsea Boots

Good morning gentlemen, One aspect of being a gentleman is time management. This is often easier said than done. Why? Because there are so many variables that tend to come into play that we tend loose time. For me it use to be distractions, I would let distractions hinder my progress. One of my biggest distractions as you have heard me speak about this was my cellphone. Trying to keep up on text, notifications, and unfortunately scrolling. Now it was never my intention to let these create distractions but it was so subtle that I didn’t realize it. Next was knowing when to say no. That was hard for me because I always wanted to be a goto person. But the reality was you cannot be everything to everybody. It’s okay to say no. Hint ( when you say no, you do not have to give an explanation all the time.) A simple “ I will be unable to accommodate you at this time,” is simply sufficient. Knowing your limitations, if something is above your means, or beyond your experience, knowing when you cannot accommodate is better than to try and you spend more time on something that you cannot accomplish in an allotted time. When you over extend yourself you push other things and some might be more important or even on a time frame that would end up putting you behind and unable to complete the task. Now instead of not completing one task, you now have several task that are not completed. Lastly, being able to balance work, family, and social life. Sometimes you have to prioritize things and not neglect what is important. Family should always be priority, but this does not mean neglecting your family because you feel you have to work to provide. One thing you cannot not replace or get back is time. Gentlemen, our success depends on our ability to prioritize and avoid distractions. Let’s be leaders by showing what good stewards we can be if time management.

I have a pair of Public Rec Dealmakers that could use a bit of hem job. I’ve only worn them 3x so far. Just got my first 2 pairs of Public Rec Gamechanger pants delivered. I ordered the same size for both, same size as the Gamechangers. (38x34) The charcoal Gamechangers will need to be hemmed while the Dark Olive’s are too short. What’s really confusing me is when I lay the Slate Dealmakers next to the Heathered Charcoal Gamechangers, they look the same length. But when I put them on with no shoes, the Gamechangers have at least 2 inches of material under my heel where the Dealmakers don’t. And then the same length Dark Olive are too short? The Dark Olive will be exchanged, but I wonder if another pair of 38x34 would be same (short) or same as the Charcoal pair (way long)? Anyone else run into this issue?
