Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, So many of us on this journey or have been on this journey for a while, for some this is a great time to prevent this from happening and for some it's a time to think and correct what you are already doing. As we started this journey or evolution of change with our style of clothes. We might look better and stylish but does our words, actions, demeanor, or language match our change. A man by the name of Peter Gollwitzer coined this as the Symbolic Self Completion Theory. Basically, it means that someone wants a certain identity and they get it by buying the thing that represents that identity rather than doing the thing to embody that identity. For example, they will buy running shoes rather than run or buy a planner to carry around rather than plan. People will buy nice expensive clothing or expensive ascetic accessories to make themselves look intelligent or a more sophisticated person rather than working on how the talk, handle situations, manage finances, etc. They will try to take the short cuts to impress or to appear better rather than do what it takes to make the change to match the identity or person that they want to be. In the end they end up not happy with themselves, or people see them for who they are. Wanting to change and be a better person is great and honorable, but you have to put in the work along with the change in clothes, position, or status. People want to be seen as a changed person and that is great, but the best way is what is called a silent flex that shows you are a person of status without telling people you are by how you dress. Here 12 things that show silent flex 1. Have calm confidence not performance confidence 2. Speak with precision avoid using filler words and not try to feel you have to have a say so in everything. 3. Clothing is quietly expensive not never obvious; you do not have to wear name beans with logos all over your clothing. 4. Never rush Take your time and be methodical in what you do 5. move effortlessly your walk so have a low not like a sloth or a rabbit but steady walk. 6. Never talk about money never discuss your salary, or the price you paid for things. 7. be selective about what you complain about don't complain out loud in front of people, don't make everything a crisis 8. Social boundaries a crystal clear; do not post your life on social media 9. Educate yourself quietly, read book, always learn and study, ask thoughtful questions 10. Don't chase popularity 11. protect your privacy like its wealth do not post everything you do online (scarcity makes you interesting) 12. Remain calm and avoid chaos

“Pay attention everybody, class is about to begin” 😉 - Last time i promise Today is Friday which means it s the weekly walk to the caffe for Coffee with my youngest before school. It is a user able day here today so umbrellas and Jackets were a must. Now as our resident knowledgeable sartorialist @Brian McGuire has told us many times. White, Light Blue and Pink are staple shirts every man should own. Today I have grabbed my pink OTAA Oxford to dress in another of my Blue Suits. This combination is one many guys typically shy away from, as many consider pink a more feminine colour, it was once however a male dominated hue. I have selected a tie I received from my daughters this past Christmas, and the Mostly pink striped socks from Charles Tyrwhitt help to incorporate this scheme. Keeping my latest Pocket Square for OTAA, the Done Vitone, and my current favourite shoes in the CNES MTO Oxford keeps this look solid and I think perfect. Todays outfit consists of; Blunt Executive Umbrella in Charcaol (in its sling) Britton Brood Snap Cap in Washed Navy and Aluminium M.J. Bale Pascal Peacoat in Navy M.J. Bale Ballard Suit in True Blue OTAA Pacelli Pink Oxford Shirt OTAA Crosshatch Silver Tie Bar Geoffrey Beene Navy with Pink Pinstripe (2025 Christmas Present from my Girls) OTAA Don Vitone Blue Woolen Pocket Square Anson Blue leather Strap with a Classic Curved Buckle in Silver OTAA Jack O’ Cups Shattuckite Skull Bracelet Charles Tyrwhitt Pink Striped Socks CNES CNES MTO Oxford with Goodyear welted construction and crafted from Italian crust leather SOTD - Versace Eros Flame WOTD - Invicta Grand Diver, aka Big Red

I wanted to mix it up rather than posting an outfit per day, here is a look back on my week. Monday - meeting with a District Attorney on a case, so I wore a gray suit, white shirt, blue/white/red stripe tie, brown AE boots. Tuesday - busy day. Meeting again with a District Attorney so I chose a heather blue suit, white shirt, solid navy tie. I did not get a full suit photo but I took a quick picture in the break room after packaging evidence from an investigation. Wednesday - I had to testify in front of a grand jury so I chose a navy suit, light blue shirt, blue/green/ white tie. After testify I had to go work a crime scene and it was about 85 degrees Fahrenheit which reflect in the photo. Today I wanted to end the week in a chill manner ahead of tomorrow’s holiday. I work a navy short sleeve button up, gray slacks and brown Thursday boots.
