Something a bit more casual and sportier than my usual conservative business dress and a trip around the globe to put it all together. .

I really like that subtle purple overcheck in the tweed. It looks pretty sedate in most of the pictures, then you get close, and there's that purple check

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I agree. It’s something I like very much about this jacket. I don’t even think I noticed it much when I bought it (years ago). It comes out more when I’m wearing something purple or burgundy with it, like in the picture.

Wearing mostly what I was wearing in the picture from last Thursday. A week ago today, on Wednesday January 18th, a tree fell down at the place where I am a tenant and part of the tree came through the ceiling. As soon as I had cleaned up the rubble, some of which fell on me, and a tarpaulin put over the hole in the ceiling, I left for a hotel, where I still am. Didn't take much stuff with me.

In front of the California Heritage Museum on the corner of Main Street and Ocean Park Blvd in Santa Monica CA.

Brooks Brothers tweed jacket and cotton sweater vest, Lands' End tie, generic pocket square, L L Bean OCBD shirt and corduroy trousers, and Allen-Edmonds shoes.

Went to The Misfit in Santa Monica for lunch today. Had a Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Happy Hour at The Misfit is from 12:00noon to 7:00pm. I am sure I was holding the wine glass straight before drinking most of my 50% off glass of wine.

When you are walking back to the hotel you can even have two glasses of wine. May still be a little shaken up from the tree coming though the ceiling last Wednesday and some of the rubble landing on me.

There are signs inside (like this one) and outside The Misfits promoting the 12:00noon to 7:00pm Happy Hour.

There weren't many people on the beach south of the Santa Monica Pier.

Although there was a 4.5 earthquake here this morning around 2:00am, as well as several aftershocks, as you can see the beach was not damaged.
