I finally was able to get myself some new clothes today! Antonio mentioned how navy is one of his go to colours, which heavily influenced me buying this navy jacket. It was £56 from a thrift shop and I love it! It was actually part of a suit but the other 2 suit pieces weren't in my size unfortunately, so I just will use the jacket as a sort of sports coat. The light trousers are really smart, I love those too and I think they go well with the navy jacket. But they were £50! That's a lot for me! But I was desperate for new trousers! The shoes were new from a thrift shop. A bargain at £26! And I fell in love with this waistcoat! £35, again from a thrift shop. It meant I really stretched my budget thinly this month but I just couldn't go home without everything! What do you think, do you like the colours??

Outfit of the morning! While vacationing, I have a client call this morning so I am prepped and ready to go! Back to the mountain dress after the meeting. Video-Conference Outfit: Warm Browns, Ecru, and Oxblood • Jacket — DOJ-011 (John W. Nordstrom): A mid-brown, cream, and dark-brown Glen-check sport coat in cashmere and silk. Its bold texture provides visual interest on camera while maintaining polished business-casual formality. • Trousers — SL-010 (di Milano): Tailored brown wool slacks with subtle dark-brown static lines and a matte finish. Their restrained pattern anchors the more expressive jacket. • Shirt — DS-020 (Nordstrom): A blue cotton SmartCare dress shirt with faint-white diamond dobby texture, two-button barrel cuffs, and a point collar. The recommended 2.75-inch collar stays keep the collar crisp on video. • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A white cotton crew-neck undershirt. It provides a clean foundation beneath the highly opaque blue shirt. • Tie — NT-056 (Rampley & Co.): A solid ecru knitted tie in a matte wool-cashmere blend. Its soft texture and light neutral color bridge the blue shirt and warm Glen-check jacket without competing with either. • Pocket Square — PS-017 (Fort Belvedere): A brown, blue, light-blue, and tan paisley silk square. It echoes the jacket and shirt colors while adding a controlled flourish. • Belt — B-011 (Hanks): The Esquire Raised leather belt in Havana brown with white edge stitching and a silver buckle. Its warm leather coordinates naturally with the trousers and footwear. • Footwear — DSh-021 (Cobbler Union): Marco 722 Derby shoes in top-grade European calfskin with a hand-burnished oxblood finish. The deeper toe-and-heel patina adds richness while preserving a business-formal silhouette. This is part of the 24-hour break-in period I do for new leather shoes, trying to do it all indoors. • Socks — DSo-080 (Bresciani): Over-the-calf Cotton Lisle socks in chocolate brown and copper. Their alternating ribbed shadow stripe quietly links the trousers to the oxblood shoes.
