My new everyday glasses arrived on Friday, I am thinking I probably could have waited and picked both pairs at once Oh, well. So on Sunday I wore the new glasses to church today. The glasses are round thin tortoiseshell frames. My outfit today started with a blue linen band collar shirt, tan linen trousers, my madras jacket, blue straw fedora and my Italian spectators. The picture was taken after service during our lunch out.

Monday madness! Lots going on at work and at home. Family arrived home super early so Logan could spend the day both doing his final packing for the dorm and see his girlfriend before heading out (she's a senior). It's an emotionally tricky day for him, no doubt. Navigating a complex HR issue at the office where I am working to turn a potential release of one employee into a welcomed management challenge for another new hire. The character of the challenging employee is upstanding - he's just very new to working in a professional setting and needs someone to work with him on how to excel in an office environment. More of a relaxed outfit today to try to help with the potential intensity of the meetings. Summer blues with classic preppy texture for a video-conference workday: • Jacket — SJ-015 (Brooks Brothers): A lightweight white-and-mid-blue cotton seersucker jacket with a matte finish and partially lined construction. Its pronounced stripe supplies the outfit’s summer character while remaining polished on camera. • Trousers — SL-026 (Suitsupply): Mid-blue straight-leg trousers in a summer-weight wool, silk, and linen blend. Their understated plain weave grounds the stronger seersucker texture without resembling an attempted matched suit. • Shirt — DS-040 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A formal white, non-iron, two-ply cotton-twill shirt with a classic point collar and rounded French cuffs. Use approximately 2.5-inch collar stays—an estimate because the stay size is not recorded in the shirt data. • Undershirt — US-002 (Ralph Lauren Polo): A simple white cotton crew-neck undershirt that remains discreet beneath the opaque white twill. It adds comfort without affecting the visible color story. • Tie — NT-050 (Paul Fredrick): A steel-blue and gray silk herringbone tie with silver-white and gold accents scattered through the pattern. Its texture bridges the solid trousers and striped jacket; use a balanced Half-Windsor with the classic point collar. • Suspenders — SB-001 (Kirby Allison): Navy silk suspenders with white polka dots, black leather button loops, and silver hardware. They reinforce the blue palette while remaining largely concealed and appropriately business formal.

Down to San Angelo for a meeting then back to Lubbock after that. Lots of windshield time today. - black short sleeve button down with company logos - Brown leather belt - Slim straight blue jeans - Brown oxford shoes
