- # 2025-05-12 – Session Summary: Appearance & Style Protocols
- ## Highlights (Fleeting Notes)
- "Olive bomber + charcoal knit instantly elevates casual jeans."
- "White Irish-linen shirt + bone denim gives Amalfi-coast energy."
- "Crystal Retinal nights: half-pea face, half-pea neck, seal with Biossance."
- "Niacinamide goes **before** retinal to buffer irritation."
- "ElectraShred ½-scoop keeps electrolytes up during a fast."
- "White/navy gum retro trainer adds variety yet stays neutral."
- "Stone-slate-white palette = minimal summer uniform."
- "Amalfi-coast look is getting wife compliments—keep."
- "Pass on fine-gauge oatmeal knit; lacks contrast & texture."
- "Look aliases: OCL, DNL, SSM, ITB, CMD."
- "Oatmeal cashmere sweater over lavender tee pairs perfectly with dark Paige denim."
- "White knit sneakers complete light-neutral look—quick damp-wipe keeps them crisp."
- "Cartier signet anchors mixed-metal stack; follow 'anchor + accents, three-tone max' when layering bracelets."
- "Tom Ford Soleil Blanc = 'sun-kissed cashmere' that harmonizes with oat sweater + white kicks."
- "Olive dress + oat sweater create complementary couple palette without looking matchy."
- ## Permanent Notes
- **Anchor-piece layering** → Pair an Olive Bomber with charcoal knit to sharpen the silhouette; catalogue under Appearance Systems. *Why: one statement layer removes outfit decision fatigue.*
- **CMD (Cream Monochrome Drift)** → White linen + bone denim formula logged in Wardrobe Experiments 2025. *Why: high-contrast neutral that photographs well and wins spouse approval.*
- **Retinal buffer rule** → Always sandwich niacinamide before retinal to minimize irritation; note in Skincare Systems. *Why: maintains consistency while leveling up actives.*
- **Electrolyte micro-dosing** → On fast days, use ElectraShred split-scoop; add to Fasting Protocols. *Why: prevents light-headedness without sodium overload.*
- **Texture beats tone** → Fine-gauge oatmeal knit fell flat; switch to waffle/rib when colors are similar—update Fabric Tactics. *Why: ensures neutral looks still read premium on camera.*
- **Mixed-metal stack framework** → One hero piece (Cartier) per hand, add slim gold curb next to Apple Watch + bead strand opposite; log in Appearance Systems. *Why: repeatable jewelry rule keeps stack balanced, founder-appropriate.*
- **Footwear care cue** → Wipe sneakers post-wear, tuck laces under knit for cleaner line; append to Footwear Rotation. *Why: extends life of white courts and keeps silhouette sharp.*
- **Fragrance-palette matching** → Soleil Blanc's creamy coconut/bergamot meshes with oat cashmere + white knit; tag to Appearance Systems under "Scent Pairings." *Why: scent cohesion completes the look sensory-wise.*
- **Couple-coordination principle** → Use complementary, not identical, hues (olive vs oatmeal) for cohesive photos without twinning; reference Wardrobe Experiments 2025. *Why: elevates shared outings & social media shots.*
