So the originally plan was this would be a short week with a trip to visit the nephews and in-laws for Christmas on Thursday, but now it’s still a short week with shoulder surgery on Thursday. While I am in pain, I’m not letting it stop me from looking and presenting my best. An appointment, taping, paperwork and fitting in a haircut today. The shirt, Inimigo The sweater, Proper Cloth The jeans, Polo The shoes, Allen Edmonds The scent, Pegasus by Parfums de Marley The watch, Apple with a visit from Snoopy The hair, by me for now Make it a good day.

Trying out one of my New OTAA ties. I mean I have plenty of them, but if they wanted me to have more who am I to say no. I had around 30 to select 3 from and this is the first to get a run on. The Herringbone has some great texture and it is easy to tie and get the dimple in. Todays outfit consists of; M.J.

One of my favorite services is when Lorelei Kaiser Barton brings her harp. She comes every second Sunday of Advent.- the sanctuary is all decorated, the advent music is in full swing, and her immense talent just makes it very special. Always a great Sunday. Todays’s OOTD was inspired by my wife (sorry no pic). She wore a green sweater and a green and navy tartan trouser so I thought I would get into the season spirit with a deep red Harold’s cotton V neck and a tartan silk tie. On this cold morning went with my grey flannel trousers again and my MTM lambswool houndstooth sportcoat. Green black and navy pocket square to harmonize with the tie. Acadia National Park Pendleton socks, 1982 Cole Haan Waxhide loafers and a Seiko model 5 watch. Happy 2nd week of Advent gentlemen.
