We haven't had an official weekly challenge on here in a while, so how about an unofficial one? My post on outfit habits (click here for that one) inspired me to throw this idea out here. Here are the rules: - You must pick one specific type of item (it could be the same item, such as a pair of jeans or a pair of shoes, or just a specific type of item, such as a plain t-shirt, a Henley, an OCBD, or a cardigan - for example) from your closet to be the focal point of three different outfits. - Each outfit should fall into the middle-game area of formality - above just jeans and a t-shirt, but below a casual suit. - Each outfit should demonstrate a noticeably different level of formality. - Each outfit should still be harmonious, overall, in its formality. - Make a 'Weekly Challenges!' post before 2025-12-20 with "Up And Down Challenge" somewhere in the title, that showcases all three outfits (pictures required) and identifies the focal-point item (links to OOTD posts are okay, here). Bonus Points: - Colors, patterns, and textures! The more the merrier - as long as it works. - Accessories matter! Bonus points for creative, harmonious use of accessories - especially when the accessories factor into the difference in the overall level of formality. - Getting out of your comfort zone! Bonus points for trying outfits at a different level of formality than you typically wear. The point of this challenge is to practice some of those outfit habits I mentioned in the aforementioned post - specifically practising wearing outfits spanning all levels of formality, not just one or two. I may reach out to a couple of Generals for judging assistance, if they're willing, but I'll retain the deciding vote. If we get at least 20 qualified entries (following the rules), there will be a monetary prize! Who will accept this challenge?

To piggyback off Gunny's https://www.skool.com/rmrs/kolhs-shopping-trip My usual post-work unwind routine after a long shift is to go for a long walk, see everything there is to see, whether that be at the mall, Walmart, or my favourite place is Fred Meyer. Keep in mind I am still wearing my bartender uniform, apron and all, so I FREQUENTLY get confused for a Fred Meyer employee. I am just your friendly neighbourhood bartender, but my post-work unwind walks, seeing everything there is to see, means I gotten to know Fred Meyer quite well. So, whenever a customer does confuse me for an employee, I always help if it is something I am capable of doing. The moral of the story: Be the helpful guy. Be the useful guy. If someone asks you for help, help them. If you see someone in need of help, even if they don't ask, help them. Be the Good Samaritan. You never know when you are THE ONLY one who HAS been helpful. You never know how that can change someone's day. That is my challenge for you. Be the helpful guy. Be the useful guy.

Today is a great day to walk with purpose Watched a couple of the peaky blinder guys walking through public videos and everyone notices not just how they are dressed but in the way they walk with purpose . It throws a bunch of people off their comfort game when they see someone dressed very nice walking with purpose. It makes them rethink what they are doing and how they are dressed. So today go out and walk with purpose

My year end planning and goal setting period is coming up fast. So much to be thankful for! Great things are ahead…
