During a meeting this morning, my mind wandered and I surveyed the conference room to see what people were wearing. No pocket squares, no french cuffs, a smattering of tie clasps and relatively few garments of sartorial merit and or cut. By far the footwear selections were the most disconcerting. Few jackets were correctly sized and fewer yet had put together an ensemble that one could regard as pleasing irrespective of quality. I just don't understand why people think that one shoe will take them from the sidewalk to the office to the hiking trail. Here are more details:
Provost - 2-button suit, solid navy, Hugo Boss level; lavender shirt; lavender, pink & blue tie; & rubber-soled black bluchers.
AVP Finance - plaid jacket & knee-length skirt (red, black & grey); fuchsia silk collarless top; & black calf boots.
VP finance - 2-button, solid medium grey department store suit, (Hudson's Bay Company logo inside); white shirt; silver base-colour tie with darker, silver & black circles or "bubbles"; & black rubber-soled oxfords.
Associate Dean Science - Navy 2-button blazer, silver metal buttons; blue butcher stripe shirt; no tie; blue jeans; & black Geox-type shoes.
