Well today I actually grabbed the right pair of brown trousers. I had only worn the pink shirt to church yesterday, so I thought I would reconstruct yesterday’s intended outfit. But then I thought that might be boring so I changed coat and tie and pocket square.

CW = critiques welcome! We've had four birthday dinner in 5 days. I am a bit burnt out on the long dinners, but not the celebrating my son. I have let the new guests hod his time during these dinners. When last night's dinner was a smaller group of relatives, he came and sat next to me and we spoke about everything under the sun (READ: a lot of Dodgers... and then life). That was rewarding. Today at worked kicked off a new research project where one of my employees is conducting interviews of thought leaders for the first time. She did well on her first call! Lots of opportunities for her to get a lot better as this moves forward. It's also an interesting topic as it examines the sentiments of AI use now, and in the future, for my field. Today is almost all internal meetings, so the AI app roles randomly between (1) vest + tie outfit, (2) odd jacket and trousers combo (tie always worn in the office), or (3) a regular suit. It selected a suit, and that's what I've done. • Suit — SJ-002, SL-011 (Peter Millar): A dark blue Peter Millar wool suit with tiny lighter blue boxes, cut with rope and padded shoulders and a slight sheen finish. The full-lined jacket features notched lapels with two rear vents, paired with matching low-rise slacks that drape light but well with a medium to full break. Business formal presence ideal for video conferences. • Shirt — DS-040 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT slim-fit non-iron twill dress shirt in crisp white with French cuffs. The 2-ply cotton twill offers soft hand and excellent opacity, with a classic point collar. Perfect canvas for formal accessories—the adjustable French cuffs elevate the entire ensemble. • Undershirt — US-022 (Sene): White made-to-measure undershirt in Peruvian Pima cotton and elastane. Fantastic fit with excellent drape and heavy weight that won't show through the opaque dress shirt. • Tie — NT-053 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A silk Glen check tie in blue and cream with puppytooth print details. The 3-fold construction offers good body with a low sheen finish and 3.5" blade width. Pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming the suit's subtle boxes.

So with my trip to find a teal or aqua coloured shirt I was also in the look out for a sale DB suit. None were available on my size but I did find this Blazer and it has been ordered for me. It was has an RRP of $799 and I paid only $299. It is 35%Cotton/34%Linen/21%Wool/4%Silk With the remainder made up of Polymide and Elastine. So so soft and luxurious feeling. I can't wait to get it and start pairing it up. Plus with the superb shirt price and its been an amazing winning day. https://www.mjbale.com/products/santoro-jacket-natblue?objectID=41300460273744
