A coat and tie
Every five or so years, I decide to wear a sport coat and tie to work
each day. There’s usually no particular motivating factor; something
in my brain says You should wear a coat and a tie.
I like ties; I can
wear bright and flashy things [1] and I get to cut off the flow of oxygen
to my brain [2]. I find life more pleasant that way.
I’m always interested to hear how people react. Are you meeting with
someone?
Nope, I just decided to wear a coat and tie.
Why are
you wearing a suit?
I’m not. It’s a sport coat [3].
What’s the
special occasion?
There isn’t one.
Best of all, My, you look dapper today.
That seems to be the wrong d-word. I’m pretty sure that I’m just differently disheveled.
[1] I like ties with complex and non-regular patterns.
[2] At least that’s what I claim.
[3] I don’t claim to understand the terminology for women’s fashion; I shouldn’t be surprised that others don’t know the terminology for mine.
