I put the question to AI to help me decide which tie to wear? Did AI get it right? Burgundy; Why it works best 1. Stronger contrast The burgundy creates a clean visual break between the light blue shirt and navy jacket. 2. Complements the brown trousers Burgundy sits in the same warm family as brown, so it ties the lower half of the outfit together naturally. 3. More authority and presence Burgundy ties are widely considered one of the most confident and executive-looking tie colors. 4. Works with your pocket square The light blue pocket square echoes the shirt and balances the stronger tie color. I agree, I’m glad I went with burgundy. Another option was a forest green tie…but I didn’t have one.

Starting the week off a bit differently than planned! I was busy doing recurrent training this weekend, and was supposed to travel home last night. But the weather here was a bit less than hospitable 😢So I decided to stay. “Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground!!” But that in turn means 2 extra nights, as the weather at home is also miserable through tonight, but hopefully will clear out tonight so I can catch up to my week, which means no chance to get home, but head directly to a trade show my team is setting up tomorrow. Oh well! This is what makes life interesting!! I LOVE Monday’s so I’m getting it done while working remote. Still dressing as if I were in the office!!

Inspired by Antonio's post "Why Some Men Command Respect Instantly," I ask the following. When you walk into a room, do you command respect? When you walk into a room, do you offer respect? Can you do both? Are these attributes in conflict? Are they in harmony? Can you control one more than the other?
