Thanksgiving Week Monday Style. . .

 


Although many students typically decamp for home the weekend before our Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S., classes are still in session for a couple of days early in the week.  And while I have cancelled my own classes in the past, I decided to run them this year since I currently teach hybrid courses, and we meet just once per week.  

Yesterday (Monday), seven of the little darlings showed up the the 8am class and 10 at 9:10. I decided beforehand to run a workshop session for students to work on their remaining projects while I answered questions and provided assignment clarification as and when needed.  An easy day as teaching goes.

The attire highlighted above also featured a matching chocolate suede belt and dark green Merino wool socks with many small flying pheasants on them.  The jacket has not appeared in quite some time, possibly two years, so it was time to trot it out.  

I typically enjoy combining a lot of browns, tans, and greens, especially during the colder half of the year here in the Upper Midwest.  These colors work well together. And of course the pink oxford cloth button-down collar shirt seemed to fit in reasonably well the rest of the ensemble.  

Although, on reflection, a more neutral light blue might have worked better.

All opinions are welcome here. Even those that differ from mine. But let's keep it clean and civil, please.

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
