Chilly Rainy Monday Style. . .

 

A very cool and calm day yesterday with only one brief trip out.  Otherwise, the Young Master and I watched the grass grow from the back porch between various showers that moved through the area.  

Another variation of fairly typical attire for May through late September here at Totleigh.  Skipole legs not required.

It was almost cool enough for corduroy jeans, but I was too lazy to return upstairs to pull out a pair from the flat plastic tubs stored beneath the bed.  This is where ski gear and other off-season clothing are stored once washed and folded each fall/spring depending on the garment(s) and season.

More rain today (Bring it on, say I!), so no work outside, which is kind of nice.  Unstructured time is always welcome.

    Thank you, Charlottesville!

The Problem of "Business Casual" Attire. . .

This is how it's done.  Business Casual the RIGHT way, ladies and gentlemen.  Even during the summer months.  A photograph (taken by Studio B Portraits ) which appeared in 425 Business Magazine in May 2017.   T his post on the problem of business casual dress began as a quick postscript to a previous blog entry last week but quickly grew and grew as additional thoughts occurred, were developed in more detail, and revisions made.  So much so, that it seemed, eventually, like a better idea to make the initial P.S. afterthought into its own entry .  Are ya ready, Freddy?  Then, here we go. . .  ------------ U nless you actually plan to sell beach snacks and trinkets on Cozumel, become a serial barista, or greet customers at a fancy nightclub after taking out huge student loans to attend university somewhere for four or five years, plus an MBA afterward, it's really a better idea to err on the side of (somewhat) more formal work attire any time you head into the

"If you see something you want. . ."

  The above photograph has been "borrowed" from the J. Press website. "I f you see something you want," advised my late mother, "buy it.  It won't be there when you go back later."  A favorite (and wise) adage hers that I still follow whenever possible.   So when this item appeared on clearance at J. Press, I mulled it over for a couple of days, and then clicked the requisite boxes to make the online purchase.  Should be here within the week. Once upon a time, I had a similar jacket by Corbin that I foolishly purged before we left Central Illinois ('Illi-noir' anyone?)  for Michigan almost 10 years ago.  Not sure what I was thinking at the time since I did like the item and wore it routinely.   This one will be a bit nicer and help me make sartorial amends.  At least to myself. -- Heinz-Ulrich
