Houndstooth Monday. . .

Decided yo go with something a bit more casual this morning and opted for houndstooth, cords, and Argyle. Not a bad look overall if I might be so bold. As I quipped to a student about 20 years ago, "If you aren't interested in what I have to say, you can at least get a kick out of looking at me." In any case, a comfortable combination of items for a chilly November morning.

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
