I had to attend a funeral mid-morning, so I wore my blue blazer to work today. When I first got re-established on this sartorial journey several years ago, this blazer - I learned that this was a great piece to add early on - was my first real purchase. I was learning about fit and how you can have things adjusted to find that fit. This was the first time I attempted those steps. Because of that, I felt good about myself every time I put it on. Over time, my style changed and grew, as did my wardrobe options. I leaned on those newer choices more and didn't wear the blazer as much. Today was the first time I put it to use in a while. Putting it on, I viewed it through the lens of the knowledge I've gained, especially through this community. I still felt good when I put it on, but I now recognize how things could be better. For now, it will stay in my closet. It still works good enough for those occasions when I might need it. But my mindset is already moving to finding a better option sometime relatively soon and putting what I've learned into being able to put my best foot even further forward. This blazer was a fantastic first step. But now I'm ready for the next step.

Today I have an interview for a new role as a Senior Scheduler, with a little bit of Project Management in the mix. It was also Daddy/Daughter coffee date. I have chosen to do a double PS fold, it was supposed to be the inevitable fold, however I just couldn’t seem to get the angles to work, so it became a mix of the Ice Cream and Layer Cake folds. Today’s outfit consists of; M.J. Bale Ballard Suit in True Blue made from a Super 110’s Merino wool cloth Charles Tyrwhitt Bengal Strip Winchester Shirt OTAA Crème Brûlée Navy Striped Necktie OTAA King Of Cool Brown and Don Vitone Blue Woolen Pocket Squares, in what I am calling an Ice Cream Cake fold Anson Signature Strap in Chocolate on a Traditional Buckle in Silver OTAA Spiculus Tiger’s Eye Gladiator Helm Bracelet OTAA Dark Coffee Brown Textured Socks Ivassi 1973 Cap Toe Oxford in Mahogany SOTD - Versace EROS Parfum WOTD - Tudor Royal 41 with Silver Dial

Only a few days until we head off on our holiday, the weather is going to be warmer than we have been having here in Canberra, so it has been fun making Decision’s on what to pack. However, today I had a medical review for the surgery I had a week ago, and as you can see I am no longer in the bandage, I have attached a picture of the scar at the end of the series of pics. This morning Mother Nature reminded us that we in-fact live in Canberra and that she will deal out whatever cold weather she sees fit.
