Showing the versatility of my new Sports coat. Today, I’ve paired it a micro blue checkered MTM shirt, a navy blue grenadine tie, and navy blue trousers. No meetings today, but I’m ready should one pop up on the calendar.

There is a certain elegance in combining ivory, navy blue, and beige in outfits. Say you are given the option of using three pieces- jacket, shirt, and pants- in ONE EACH of these three colors.

The flight is getting ready to board and many of us are sitting around or standing near the gate.

Today is a regular office day, as I take my daughter to school and pick her up after her extracurriculars. As it finishes after the buses stop running, it is just easier and quicker to get her from the office, which is two-thirds of the trip from home and takes only 10 minutes, rather than the 3-40 minutes from home, depending on the traffic.
