Went to grab a beverage around the corner, and was at home working.

# data[].attributes.body
On my way to a brunch with family. Mood was positive, although I suppose dressing with more color would have been preferred. I chose this outfit as we are experiencing extreme heat, yet I had to wear pants per the dress code. I made sure to wear clothes that were breathable and wicking. I did not put much effort into this, and it was fairly simple to put together. I was satisfied with my choice, although I would have enjoyed a bright colored shirt which I do not have with me. I would have liked to change my shoes, as I wore gym shoes, but felt they would be best for me as I was doing quite a bit of walking and cared more about comfort. No change in how I felt since I left home.

# data[].attributes.body
Outfit worked well for the situation. Had to remove my hat due to dress code, I no one said anything about my shoes, but also no one saw them either.

# data[].attributes.body
Mood was good, extreme heat all week, so this outfit suited me best as it was all wicking and breathable. No matter what I wear, I would be over heating, but this was the best I could do. I was comfortable with the clothing, and it was easy to put together. I would have liked to change belts, but I did not want to remove my other belt from the other pants. I would not have changed anything. It is basic, stylish, and easy to put together.

# data[].attributes.body
No matter what summer attire I could wear, I would still be over heating. I made the right choices, and was as comfortable as I could be.

# data[].attributes.body
Easy to put together, was just running errands. I would have preferred to wear a shirt that was wicking, but either way, with the extreme heat I would have sweat through any of them. Temps have been reaching 100F+. I knew within minutes I would be sweating once I got outside, so I just put on a t-shirt I do not care much for. Was fairly comfortable and it was easy attire to put together. Would not have changed anything else. It was little effort to consider what to wear. Made no changes.

# data[].attributes.body
This should have been part of 4.2. Unsure why it is not being displayed there.

I found this in a Google search that came from a site called Tapered Menswear. I was seeking out fitness related professional clothes that would be acceptable in an office setting. This interests me as I go to a number of events or to offices where I want to look professional yet also want the fabrics and fit that make me comfortable, stylish, and ability to move around in ways allowing stretch in the fabric that is also breathable and wicking. This was inspiring to me as I liked the look, sizing, and fit on the model. The features of the shirt captured me as well. This what I seek; however, after doing further research, I struggled with the website to navigate to the same shirt, or the model chosen was misleading as the shirts on the website did not look the same as this one.

# data[].attributes.body
For 5.1: Another thing I neglected to mention are other aspects I do not like. I do not like the removable collar stays, as I prefer collars stays that are sewed in and permanent. The locker loop also does not interest me, and I prefer there to be creases in the back sides by the shoulder which allow for easier maneuverability.
