Misplaced Stress

I am stressed today. And it's aggravating that the things that are on my mind as "stressing me" (various dumb things related to clothes, packing for Thanksgiving break, and so on). Some insomnia and construction in my neighborhood every morning does not help.

But mostly the things I'm preoccupied with should not be stressing me out, and I get the impression that they aren't stressing me out, not really. It's just that I can't focus my mind, and have a bit of a sore throat in a way that makes me feel like I've been yelling and so makes me similarly frustrated, even though I haven't actually been shouting at anyone, nor even had things to shout about.

Maybe writing down dumb clothes things will help me feel better, despite the general pointlessness of such an exercise.

Acquired: Cord jacket (thrifted, like that a lot), various interesting blazers, more button shirts (9tailors and Modern Tailor both have their strong points, off the rack plus alterations can also work, but see below), ties and pocket squares (thrifting, eBay, Etsy), red chinos.

To acquire: Brown cords (maybe?), khaki chinos a size up (maybe; the ones I have are getting small on me despite my weight going down, but maybe that will change again), sweaters, better (or better-fitting) cardigans, a heavy wool coat (the one I have is not quite what I'm looking for in weight and style; more importantly, it's too small), more casual button shirts (my main problem here is that I still have no idea what I'm looking for in this space, probably my best bet is to thrift stuff and rotate out what I don't wear). Possibly take some of my favorite polo and henley shirts to the tailor for adjustment (but that should maybe wait on more fitness stuff).

Deferred: Lots of stuff. Pretty much everything expensive, except that coat.
