I recently watched the movie staring Pierce Brosnan and while I thought the plot of the movie made no sense, I did get some use out of it. Here's my take on Brosnan's outfit during the charity event scene in the movie. Outfit breakdown: - 1980s Nordstorm Navy with pinstripes suit - TieBar White linen pocket square - Jos A Bank French cuff Dress shirt in mid blue - Brook Brothers Silver Stripe tie - MOP silver cufflinks - Allen Edmonds Black belt - Allen Edmonds Black Quarter Brogue Oxfords

have always been a person who likes colors. This vintage wool jacket has subtle dark green, plum, burgundy and tans running vertically. The weave of the cloth is interesting and unusual as it is both a herringbone and long weave interspersed so the long weave vertical colors are visable and then the strips of Herringbone tone it down. I paired this with a Hardy Amies plum and green tie to pick up those colors, used a dark plum pocket square and then brightened the look with a cotton yellow sweater vest, lighter tan pants and my favorite Florsheim Italian loafers.

⛪️National Religious Freedom Day🛐 Religious freedom is the idea that everyone should have the right to practice their beliefs openly and without persecution. It's about respect, kindness, and equality for all. Religions and religious organizations have been responsible for a great deal of good being done in the world. From the founding of worldwide charitable organizations to simply inspiring people to be kinder and humbler on a daily basis, as well as encouraging humans to be more sympathetic to the plight of their fellow man. All throughout human history, religious individuals have banded together to form organizations that share in common beliefs, exercised through religious customs and customs. Unfortunately, some folks become overzealous in their desire for others to join their faith, leaving damaging consequences in their wake. From the Roman persecution of Christians in ancient times to the infamous Spanish Inquisition to the witch hunts of Puritan America, to the Islamic Jihads still occurring today, it is easy to see how dangerous religions can be if left unchecked. Religion and faith are very personal choices but, sometimes, people in power begin forcing their thoughts and beliefs on others. This is why it is enormously important to make sure religious freedom is granted and protected to all. And this is why the Founding Fathers of the United States of America saw this to be such a vital issue in their time and for the future of their country. Beyond just the United States, the freedom of religion has become foundational to the very core of many governments and nations all over the modern world. 💒History of National Religious Freedom Day🔔 On January 16, 1786, soon after the United States of America came into existence as a sovereign nation, the Virginia General Assembly adopted Thomas Jefferson’s landmark Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This statute then became the basis for what we know today as the First Amendment, which guarantees religious freedom to all people residing in the U.S.A.
