"Morning Song of Senlin" by Conrad Aiken (1889-1973)

It is morning, Senlin says, and in the morning 

When the light drips through the shutters like the dew, 

I arise, I face the sunrise, 

And do the things my fathers learned to do. 

Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops 

Pale in a saffron mist and seem to die, 

And I myself on a swiftly tilting planet 

Stand before a glass and tie my tie. 

A Day Off...

- jeans
- a shirt
- a hoodie
- a baseball cap
- and pair of sneakers of our choice

Besides the fit, which has to be perfect as always, let me give you a secret ingredient that will make this casual outfit a lot more fun: color. If you can do some color matching, you’ll look amazing.

you’ll end up with clothes that you can wear around the house every day of the week.

Don't Be A Casualty in the WRONG Casual Wear

Remember that business casual and Friday casual are distinct things. Business casual generally means khaki pants, a plain polo shirt or a long-sleeved button down shirt, a V-neck sweater, sometimes a sports coat or blazer and brown leather shoes. 

Don't forget these general guidelines:

1. A short sleeve shirt is, by definition, always a casual shirt. 
2. Khaki and flannel pants are casual for most businesses.

3. Tank tops, shorts, and sandals are weekend wear.

4. Advertising, artists, and fashion types can wear leather jackets.

5. Plain shirts are best, in general; shirts with adds on them are for fishing.

6. Button-down Oxford shirts are casual; T-shirts are for musicians, computer types, and mowing the lawn.

7. Loafers and dark walking shoes are casual.

8. Blazers and sports coats are casual for some businesses, dressy for others. The fabric should never shine or change colors in a different lighting. 

Just for Kicks!!
