Mid-February Monday Style. . .

 

Back to the salt mines after a weekend of cross-country skiing in Northern Michigan.  No sore muscles today, which means either that I am doing something right after all of these years, or that I am not working hard enough. 

In any case, I decided to go with a navy blazer and tan flannel pants rather than a suit this morning.  Still reasonably formal and pulled together, as is my wont, without straying into evening attire.

    Your simple, basic outfit is great! What shoes are you wearing? I love a brown split toe...

    Thank you! The shoes (visible in the second photograph) are by Allen Edmonds. The "Delray" model.

    Kind Regards,

      Ha! I used to have a pair of tan-walnut AE Delrays that I loved and would always get compliments. I ended up selling them in an effort to pare my wardrobe down to just favorites (and my AE brown Kenilworths were the keepers).

The Pleasaures of a Well-trained Dog. . .

  A few final photographs from my visit to my sister in Washington, D.C. last week.  These include  one of 'Mr. Beau,' my sister's meticulously trained and truly wonderful Doberman, another of my sister, second cousin, step-father, and yours truly on the steps of the church outside Lexington, North Carolina just after our late mother's interment service, two of me solo at the National Cathedral, and a final one of my sister and me hamming it up during a long evening walk the day before I returned to Michigan. My sister routinely walks to the cathedral, about three blocks from her place, to enjoy the grounds and gardens.  The Bishop's Garden, in particular, is a place she likes to sit for quiet contemplation and internal dialogues with our late maternal grandparents and mother, very much in keeping with the Episcopal side of things.  Our grandfather, who was raised Methodist, became an Episcopalian when he married our grandmother.   Before you ask, I am not sure tha

Almost Mid-June Sunday Style. . .

  A fter two months, Blogger has decided to allow me in the door once again, so I can add a long overdue post documenting my take on classic male style.  Since we are almost in the throes of summer, let's go with a warm weather theme this morning. Now, the items above will not be to everyone's taste:  Deck shoes without socks, shorts, pleats, skinny pale legs, etc.  All invite tisk-tisking and debate in certain online fora, but that's ok.   I wouldn't wear attire this to campus Monday through Friday, or to church.  But for relaxed, comfortable warm weather-wear around the house during the weekends, with maybe a quick trip down the road for a gallon of milk at the super market, this will do nicely, thank you very much.   It's certainly preferable to the wrinkled, torn, stained sloppy alternative we see everywhere in 2022.  Neither is it at all far removed from how the various men and boys across three generations of my extended family presented themselves during even
