Monday's are the start of the work week! I spend most of Sunday's preparing for the week ahead. Laundry, Ironing, Shoe Shining or Brushing etc. I find it very therapeutic getting all of my weekly chores done so that I do not have to worry about not having the Shirt or shoes ready for the week ahead. Yesterday was mothers day so I spent most of the day with my wife and mother in law making sure they were celebrated in a meaningful way, so that means I stayed up a bit later to get all of my things done, and when I went to bed I had an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of a day well lived and lived with intention. When I put my head on my pillow every night I ask myself the question. "Did I do my best today?" "Was I intentional, thoughtful and Kind?" If my answers are yes, then I find myself sleeping very well. If I am not being honest with myself, I tend to sleep restlessly. I try to be completely honest with the answers, but I also have learned to give myself some grace if I slipped a bit in one area or another, and just the honesty of it all also lets me sleep soundly. Intentionality for me is not just about dressing, it permeates all areas of my life! Wishing you all an amazing Monday!!

Today I wore the last of the new custom shirts, this one a light lavender. With it I wore the slightly darker jacket, grey trousers, drey pocket square, black and purple striped tie, my Italian Spectators and an arrow brim fedora. After service I took Robin out to brunch for Mother’s Day.
