There is one benefit to having monkey arms. If you wear a nice watch, everyone will get to see it easily.

And I find it very easy to swing from tree to tree.

Aye, but I've found that my kuckles can get particularly dirty judging by what type of flooring I happen to be over [huh]
 
I have the opposite problem & always have sleeves that are too long.

Today for a 2 hour train journey (I must be crazy) and an evening watching my darlings band I chose this;

I may, or may not, wear a hat. I've not decided yet lol

Those sleeves are meant to be short, I don't have monkey arms :p

So I would have stayed home today, and I might not even have gotten dressed up today, because my temperature is actually running a degree higher than yesterday. But yesterday afternoon I got a call from a veep who said the CEO had requested me to help with training sessions at 6:00 AM (for 3rd shift manufacturing) and 1:00 PM today. What can one say? I have a moody CEO who once went ballistic on me for missing a meeting in the middle of a blizzard. I don't want to risk his wrath if I can help it. So I pulled myself out of bed at an ungodly hour and somehow made the 45 minute drive to arrive by 6:00. The only consolation is, I'll be out of here promptly at 2:00, since I'll be at low ebb by then (actually, I am already) and will have put in eight hours by that point anyway.

That's my sob story, and I'm sticking to it!

Yesterday; couldn't decide between two tartan ties:

The overall effect:

(The shoes are in need of a brushing, or whatever you do with suede.)

I then proceeded to spill coffee on the waistcoat, and ended up so:

This has taught me not to drink coffee while knotting my tie. Just as well, I suppose, as the first thing I did was inspecting a flat totally damaged by fire (see bottom pic - I wore one of those CSI-style paper coveralls.)

Today, hiding at another branch, trying to get some work done and away with:

The shirt is getting overripe, even for my tastes, so this will be its last outing before the dustbin.

Health update: Still running a temperature. Came to work anyway. But I should be at home in bed hugging a teddy bear.

Navy SB 3B ventless suit
BB navy/white striped spread collar shirt
BB navy patterned tie
Vintage scissors tie slide
Navy polka-dotted silk pocket square, puff fold
Vintage trout fly, left lapel
Medium brown leather belt with gold buckle
Fossil watch with gold/silver band (right wrist)
Polished stainless steel link bracelet (left wrist)
Calvin Klein Truth cologne
Navy ribbed OTC socks
Medium brown split-toe lace-ups
Nautica black DB wool topcoat (still cold in Wisconsin)
Black leather gloves
J. Crew navy wool scarf with kelly green stripes
Black wide-brim fedora with black band, feather, pearl hatpin

These medium brown shoes with the navy suit have always drawn favorable reactions: I was once told flat-out, "That's very attractive." The shoes are no-names, but they do indeed look nice.

Lucky Strike - I loved your storyl I couldn't stop laughing. And I must say, you look much better with a head on your body. :)

Dolly - you look incredible! Would love to see another picture of you in the dress with better lighting. ;)
