I've been thinking about something lately, and I find it rather fascinating. I've always dressed for myself. My personal style is admittedly more classic, intentional, and perhaps a bit more elevated than what I typically see around me. But here's the thing. To me, it doesn't feel elevated at all. It simply feels like ME. I'm not uncomfortable wearing a jacket and trousers, a beautiful pair of shoes, or one of my favorite hats. Quite the opposite, actually. It's where I feel most natural and at ease. I'm not trying to be different, nor am I trying to fit in. I'm simply choosing how I want to show up in the world each day. For myself, my family, and those around me. And there's a quiet confidence that comes with that. Not the confidence of trying to impress someone or attract attention, but the confidence of being completely comfortable with who you are. There's something incredibly liberating about that. What I find fascinating, however, is the reaction I receive from others. I honestly can't remember the last day that went by without someone offering an unsolicited compliment about what I'm wearing, my shoes, or, quite often, my hat! And while I certainly appreciate those compliments, they're not why I dress this way. But they have made me wonder. Is it the clothing itself? Or is it the attitude and quiet confidence of someone who is completely at ease with his own style? Perhaps it's a little of both. After all, I don't often hear strangers stopping someone to compliment their jeans, T-shirt, and sneakers. Even though I'm sure it does happen. 🤔 Another comment I hear frequently is, "I wish more men dressed like that," or "I miss the days when people took pride in how they dressed." And those comments always make me smile, but they also leave me thinking. Because my unspoken response is usually, "Well, why not start with yourself?" Of course, I don't actually say that. I wouldn't want it to sound judgmental, because that's certainly not my intention. But I do believe there's something to it.

I'm rying out different styles of shirts to see what I like. This is a CT pinpoint oxford. The color is off in the image. Its a light purple. Almost looks pink. I probably could have gone one inch shorter on the sleeves. The neck and chest fit good. Not sure I like the collar. It's tall and makes me look like I have a short neck. I like the stiffer collar over the OCBDs I have. Just wish it was shorter.
