OOTD-CW - 24 June 2026

Although alone in the office today (my office assistant is out ill), I'm in a suit given the video calls. Partner vendor, client, employees, and a few errands around town. We worked to finalize an abstract for a presentation on AI in questionnaire development for medical outcomes. Marries two parts of my life, and we recruited some real industry heavy weights to be interviewed as key opinion leaders.

The best part has been working with two of my staff on how to navigate the research processes, interviews, analyses, synthesis of results, and write up. It was their first time to do this work for submitting to be a key presenter at an important conference (for the work we do, at least). This mentorship is what I cherish most among the hats I wear at work.

The AI App continues to use a different format on the outfit summary. I may change this back, but am using it for now given limited time to fiddle about.

Style Notes

Color Story: Navy-dominant palette with crisp white shirt creates classic boardroom authority. The paisley pocket square and basket weave tie add textural interest without overwhelming on camera.

Metal Coordination: Silver watch (Orient) + silver belt buckle + silver/navy cufflinks + silver tie bar.

Leather Coordination: Black belt + black whole-cut oxfords = clean, formal continuity.

Video Call Optimization: The navy suit photographs beautifully on camera, the white shirt provides excellent contrast, and the basket weave tie pattern reads clearly without moiré effects
