First night back on the road and boy, forgot the difference in beds and pillows. That was a bit different, never could get totally comfortable, but the day is a new and I’ve got King Cakes to deliver. The shirt, Nike polo with company logo The 1/4 zip, Eddie Bauer with company login The jeans, Daniel Cremieux The boots, Durango The scent, Modern Poet by Michael Malul The watch, Shinola The hair, by me Make it a good day.

There is a great old Johnny Carson episode where George Gobel was the last guest following superstars at the time: Dean Martin and Bob Hope. Gobel delivers this brilliant line “ did you ever get the feeling that the world was a tuxedo and you were a pair of brown shoes?” Not quite the same but dark brown and navy can have that same mismatch look. About half the time when I see the two combined it looks like someone got dressed in their closet with the lights out. Each are staple colors of menswear and while beige, tans, greys, grayish browns, and heathered browns look excellent with navy, typically a deep brown and navy combined just misses somehow…..unless one can tie it in with intention and harmonization. This is what I attempted today. I started with the light blue POW patterned shirt added the merino wool sweater and then constructed from there. I tried to use accessories and the light tan coat to do so.

Woke up to 12 degrees outside this morning. So the only real way for me to combat the cold "Mentally" is to have warm tones, a warm scent as a way to keep everything in balance.
