Work from Home Tuesday. . .

Taking care of numerous little things from home yesterday. Can't recall any of them this morning beyond an interesting Zoom meeting about a possible project, but as with so many of these kinds of things in various occupations, you need to get 'em off your desk before you can proceed with other things.

So, a bit more relaxed with the corduroy jeans and venerable suede camp moccasins sans socks, but still reasonably well pulled together. No need to look like I've rolled out from beneath a garbage bin somewhere just because I'm at home, right? In fact, I enjoyed this particular combination of items so much, that I kept it on through dinner, only removing the blazer to read to and tuck in The Young Master at 8:30 yesterday evening.

Pajamas and another mug of coffee followed before continuing with the rest of the evening, which included an enjoyable couple of hours in bed looking at ski equipment online before The Grand Duchess joined my at 10:30 for a new episode of (Don't laugh!) Call the Midwife via Netflix.

I know. I know. Call it one more of my guilty pleasures.

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 at...

Friday on Campus Style. . .

S omewhat atypically, I was on campus for several hours today helping with an interview that is part of a larger documentary project on which a colleague and I are working. Although I am behind the camera (I'm the audio guy in fact), what better reason does one need to dress presentably? Exactly. Everything worn, barring the recently purchased University of Wisconsin socks, a gift from the Grand Duchess, has been in the rotation for a while now. And, of course, there was the Panama hat, which I'll wear until we pass October 1st when the felt fedoras reappear. -- Heinz-Ulrich

Tan Suit Tuesday. . .

W hile it's now after Labor Day here in the U.S,. we still have almost three weeks left of summer according to the calendar. And since today was bright, sunny, and pleasantly warm (though far from hot), it seemed like a perfect opportunity to trot out my tan cotton suit and tan loafers/belt. Slightly disheveled, yes. And the shoes need some Renovateur to moisten 'em up But not a bad overall look if I might be so bold. -- Heinz-Ulrich
