Question about my shoes and socks on this outfit that I wore last night to dinner. I don't have loafers yet so I used these shoes. I thought they looked better than the tan leather/white soled shoes I would wear normally. Also what socks would you guys use with these shoes? I used these playful versions that had different variations of blue in them. I realized I don't have any good socks besides black. lol. These are the only 2 photos from the night that show what I mean.

Most Mondays I am in my workout gear all day. But the tornadoes that came through have knocked my cable out since Friday night so I need to run over to my Tulsa Office to make a conference call for which I need my computer without spotty hotspot issues. Quick change into jeans so I donned a 1997 MTM blazer in Royal blue to go with my woven striped shirt. Had on my black Indian bead belt so I grabbed some black cloth Clark’s. Not a white soled shoe fan unless I’m on my boat but they felt ok with this uber dressed down outfit. Pendleton charcoal fish motif socks and Seiko Model 5

Big week ahead with first conversations with investors. Many things to do, I need a to do list for my to do list! Outfit Jacket — DOJ‑002 (Beige Cashmere John W. Nordstrom Blazer): This soft beige cashmere blazer adds instant refinement with a warm tone that complements nearly any earth‑or‑green‑based palette. Its understated texture projects quiet confidence and allows the tie to remain the star of the ensemble. Shirt — DS‑041 (Light Blue Prince of Wales, CT Twill): A light‑blue Prince of Wales shirt introduces cool structure and visual clarity without overpowering the look. The subtle pattern sharpens your features on camera and provides an elegant counterbalance to the warmer jacket and tie. Slacks — SL‑006 (Dark Brown Wool, Nordstrom): Dark brown wool trousers anchor the outfit with depth and gravitas. Their rich tone creates a sophisticated tonal relationship with the beige blazer while reinforcing the tie’s warm accents. Tie — NT‑045 (Silvio Fiorello “Mandala of the Universe”): This green and rust mandala tie injects controlled artistic flair with its geometric symmetry and luscious duchesse silk. It commands attention without shouting, broadcasting intellectual curiosity and strong executive presence. Undershirt — US‑002 (Ralph Lauren White Crew): A crisp white undershirt keeps the upper half clean, smooth, and comfortable for a full day of office and VC work. The stable base layer ensures the dress shirt holds its shape and opacity throughout the day. Belt — B‑009 (Nordstrom Dark Brown Leather): A dark brown leather belt delivers the consistency and polish expected in a business‑formal ensemble. The silver buckle keeps the look classic and coordinates smoothly with your watch metals. Shoes — DSh‑007 (Allen Edmonds Chocolate Brown Oxfords): Chocolate brown cap‑toe oxfords reinforce the outfit’s elegance with a deep, confident tone. Their refined silhouette aligns perfectly with leadership‑level presence. Socks — DSo‑037 (Ralph Lauren Brown / Dark Brown): These brown patterned socks bridge the tones of the trousers and shoes while adding a touch of personality below the hemline. Their over‑the‑calf height ensures a clean, never‑revealing line of professionalism.
