I’ve had a couple people DM me on Instagram asking how I put together an outfit, so I thought that would be a good topic to write about. This is not an advice post. In the spirit of this blog and self-reflection, I’ll outline my approach and evaluate what I do. By no means do …
My History with the White Dress Shirt Ahh, the white dress shirt. Ubiquitous. Misunderstood. Misused. My first order of custom shirts included 2 different white fabric weaves. I guess I just kind of assumed white was a staple dress shirt. Well, it is I guess, but I’ve found that blue shirts are almost always a …
If you follow me on Instagram, I hope it’s clear that I don’t take it too seriously.

To start off this series of what I wore posts, I think a review of some of the outfits I’ve posted on Instagram last year is as good a way as any. I’ll share some of the thought that went into the combinations, as well as what I liked or didn’t like about each one. …
