CW = Critiques Welcome! Final discussion with our likely new head of sales today. Looking forward to the big changes that accompany this move. On an oddity side note, while picking out a tie last night, I came across one I had not worn in a while. It was so long ago, that it somehow missed being included in my database and therefore, bumped my tie count to 45. In reality, it's time to retire about 5-7 of these. Found a reason to wear my purple Oxfords today. • Shirt — DS‑015 (Tommy Hilfiger): A crisp purple cotton dress shirt with a button‑down collar, offering a relaxed but still professional foundation. While slightly less formal than a spread collar, it works well for internal leadership meetings and interviews where approachability matters. • Undershirt — US‑016 (True Classic): A lavender crew‑neck undershirt in a light cotton‑poly blend that disappears cleanly under the white shirt. The subtle color avoids harsh contrast while maintaining comfort through a full workday. • Slacks — SL‑001 (Hugo Boss): Classic wool slacks in a refined neutral tone, cut cleanly for business‑appropriate structure. The fabric drapes well and anchors the outfit firmly in professional territory without reading overly formal. • Tie — NT‑046 (Calvin Klein): A purple silk tie with subtle U.S.‑style striping, adding controlled color and visual interest. Its restrained sheen and moderate width strike a balance between confidence and restraint—ideal for interview settings. • Vest — VWC‑006 (Hart Schaffner Marx): A charcoal‑gray herringbone wool vest that adds depth and architectural structure to the outfit. The texture elevates the ensemble while keeping it distinct from a full suit—perfect for internal meetings with authority. • Belt — B‑006 (Fabio Valenti): A purple leather belt with a matte gray buckle that quietly echoes the tie without being overly matchy. The reptile texture adds personality while remaining understated. • Shoes — DSh‑005 (Girotti): Purple leather Oxford shoes with clean lines and Blake‑stitched construction. Bold but intentional, they signal confidence and individuality while staying within the bounds of business dress.

Today was clean up/take down day at the convention. Made some good contacts and have some new opportunities to explore. Got going so early and rushed, forgot to share this earlier.
