I know not everyone shares my enthusiasm for Mondays. 😂 But for me, Mondays represent a new beginning. A fresh week. A clean slate. Another opportunity to reset, get organized and be intentional about how I want to approach the days ahead. Today starts in the office and then takes me out for a few meetings with my attorney, so I wanted an outfit that could comfortably move between both settings without feeling overly formal. A tan plaid sport coat, pink shirt, brown trousers and brown shoes gave me exactly that balance. Polished enough for the meetings later, but still relaxed and seasonally appropriate for a warm August Monday. And since I’ll be out and about, the Panama gets to come along as well. 😎 The more I think about intentionality, the more I realize that it often lives in the small things. Choosing what I’m going to wear. Planning the day. Taking care of the details. Deciding what kind of attitude I’m going to bring into the week. None of those things are especially dramatic, but together they help me feel like I’m beginning the week on purpose rather than simply reacting to whatever comes my way. That’s a big part of why I genuinely love Mondays. They aren’t something I’m trying to get through. They are another new beginning. And I plan to make the most of this one. 🎉😎 Hope you all do as well!!🙏

Walking both girls down the road, Eldest to catch her 0730 bus then the youngest to be at school by 0830, plus Tuesday’s regular chiropractic appointment and today a Dr appointment for a new script for my medications and to get the tip of my middle finger checked as it seems to have developed and internal blister where the lower chopped it 4 months ago. Also a quick photo shoot between appointments as it would be ridiculous to drive home to then turn around and leave again. I did take over 20 photos and will try to get the best and add the most with the outfit, but J am only on my phone. I also tried something a little different with the cap matching the suit and shoes and not the overcoat this time. Today’s outfit consists of: Brixton Brood Snap Cap in Oatmeal and Charcoal houndstooth M.J.Bale Pascal Navy Peacoat M.J. Bale Collins Suit in Brown OTAA Beaufort Riviera French Cuff Dobby Shirt OTAA Bondi Navy Blue Pinstripe OTAA Shining Silver Tie Clip Mitch Dowd Monkey Cuff Links (chosen by my youngest) Van Heusen Sky Blue with Royal Blue Flowers Youngest daughter made me a colourful band bracelet OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet OTAA Dark Coffee Brown textured socks Sparrods & Co Oslo Double Monkstrap in Espresso SOTD - Azzaro Wanted by Night with Mancera Amore Caffe overspray.

I've just finished reading For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway and it's easily one of the greatest standalone saga stories I've ever read. 11/10
