CW = Critiques Welcome! Fun week with nearly all of the goals done. Quiet office today, however, as I am the only in it. Outfit • Shirt — DS‑011 (Paul Fredrick): A cobalt blue double pencil‑stripe stretch dress shirt in cotton‑spandex, finished in a smooth non‑iron weave. The crisp vertical striping provides structure and visual lift under a navy jacket while remaining comfortable for a full leadership workday. • Undershirt — US‑003 (Pro Club): A heavyweight white cotton crew‑neck undershirt that offers excellent opacity control under the striped dress shirt. Durable and dependable, it keeps the shirt cleanly presented throughout the day. • Slacks — SL‑009 (Santorelli): Tan wool slacks with a faint medium‑brown check, tailored for clean drape and natural movement. The warm neutral base balances the cooler blues above, grounding the outfit in business‑appropriate contrast. • Odd Jacket — DOJ‑007 (Ralph Lauren): A navy wool blazer with a slight sheen and classic brass buttons, cut in a structured silhouette. This jacket delivers executive authority while remaining versatile enough for internal leadership and client‑adjacent settings. • Tie — NT‑030 (Kirby Allison): A silk tie in rust and navy with medium‑scale paisley‑inspired motifs. The warm rust tones echo the slacks and belt, while the navy anchors the tie to the jacket for cohesive color storytelling. • Belt — B‑010 (Magnanni): Caramel‑brown leather belt with subtle tonal variation and a silver buckle. Its warmth aligns perfectly with the slacks and shoes, maintaining leather harmony across the outfit. • Footwear — DSh‑007 (Allen Edmonds): Chocolate‑brown cap‑toe Oxfords in Goodyear‑welted leather. A classic executive shoe choice—serious, refined, and perfectly suited to business‑formal or high‑polish business‑classic environments. • Socks — DSo‑063 (Fort Belvedere): Over‑the‑calf cotton socks in mid‑brown with a blue shadow stripe. The stripe subtly ties back to the shirt and jacket while remaining discreet and professional.

"When you feel like giving up, just remember that there still is a whole lot of people you need to prove wrong." Anonymous Have a greatcday brothers.

One of the major indicators of someone’s success is their ability to acknowledge how much they DON’T know. Amateurs beat their chest about how much they know. But, when it comes to the champions of the world.. The people who keep winning… Instead of stroking their ego over how much they know… They’re looking at how much they don’t know… What they can improve on… Where they are lacking… And they work on it every single day. Remember two things… 1. You can’t level up if you keep thinking you know everything. 2. No matter how good you are, you always have room for improvement. Don’t stand in your own way and get left behind. You can always do better. ~ Andy Frisella

In light of Chuck Norris’ passing I thought I’d share some of my favourite Chuck Norris jokes: 1. When Chuck Norris left for college he said to his father, 'you're the man of the house now'. 2. The police pulled Chuck Norris over for speeding, the police got off with a warning. 3. Chuck Norris and Superman had an arm wrestling match, the loser had to wear his underpants on the outside. 4. Chuck Norris got hit by a freight train, the freight train was taken in for repairs. 5. Chuck Norris built the hospital that he was born in. 6. When the Boogeyman went to sleep he checked his wardrobe for Chuck Norris. 7. Ghosts tell Chuck Norris stories.
