Back from Vegas and made it through the world's largest egg hunt. Tons of goals for this week. I am eager to tackle them with fervor! I also engaged with a style consultant today for the first time. I am looking forward to seeing how that goes. Today's ensemble • Suit — SJ‑012, SL‑003 (Ralph Lauren / Santorelli): A mid‑gray wool suit with subtle light‑blue undertones, delivering a clean, authoritative business‑formal presence without visual heaviness. The fabric drapes smoothly and reads sharp under both natural and artificial light, making it ideal for leadership days with meetings or presentations. • Shirt — DS‑045 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A pale‑blue Glen check twill dress shirt with French cuffs, offering quiet pattern interest while remaining firmly business‑appropriate. The semi‑spread collar frames the tie cleanly, and the non‑iron twill maintains crisp structure throughout a long workday. • Undershirt — US‑011 (True Classic): A navy crew‑neck undershirt that stays fully invisible under the dress shirt while providing comfortable all‑day support. The darker tone minimizes show‑through and helps preserve the shirt’s clean exterior lines. • Tie — NT‑041 (Fort Belvedere): A true navy grenadine silk tie (Garza Grossa), untipped and hand‑finished, with a rich matte texture that anchors the outfit. The grenadine weave adds depth without shine, projecting understated executive authority. Tied in a balanced Half‑Windsor. • Pocket Square — PS‑034 (Royal Silk): A navy silk pocket square with subtle geometric motifs in muted complementary tones. The pattern echoes the shirt and tie without competing, presented in a relaxed puff fold to soften an otherwise structured ensemble. • Belt — B‑005 (Montblanc): A black adjustable leather belt with refined bird’s‑eye texture and a polished silver buckle. Elegant, minimal, and perfectly aligned with the shoe leather and metal accessories. • Footwear — DSh‑004 (Magnanni): Black cap‑toe Oxfords in Blake‑stitched corrected leather, offering sleek lines and a modern business silhouette. A serious, no‑nonsense shoe choice that reinforces formality and leadership intent.

Back in the swing of things at school. My system is whichever dress shirt is next in line, match it with a tie and pants and sometimes a blazer. I do not wear the blazer while I am teaching, but it serves the function to keep me warm outside.

I went to the shopping center to buy food for Easter Sunday. I mostly saw hoodies and sports coats around me and not even a single blazer. I'm quite different from the crowd, but it still feels good inside to be well dressed. We will together with our children and grandchildren enjoy our Easter meal consisting of smoked salmon, fish roe, pate, pies and salads.

The green and yellow give an Easter mood. Like always my outfit is secondhand and cost less than 100 bucks total!
