in honor of the end of summer im wearing the outfit i rocked the most these past 3 months.  super light fabrics so i dont sweat too much when im killing it in a dancebattle.

this is also the only shirt i have in green.  actually its the only item i own in green.  unless were including the stacks i stash, because in that instance, I NEED A NEW SAFE CUZ IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE (insert rick ross grunt)

have a happy and safe labor day.  ill be working all day and night monday.  irony? perhaps.  injustice? definitely.

this shirt screams farmer.  or possibly, alec baldwin from beetlejuice.  you can catch me at the club rocking it under a jacket this fall.  im just warmin it up before i go hard.  test run.  prototype stage.  

also i dont think anyone makes dark green wingtips except for church and gucci.  help me tumblr, you’re my only hope.

an exercise in minimalism.  no patterns, black leathers, no peacocking (which i am known to do here and there.)  and i can dig it.  growing up, one post at a time.  somebody tell my mom, oh wait, i will, speed dial, 1.  mommas boy started a blog and shes proud of me.

gonna do a couple laps at the park later if anyone wants to eat my dust.  

happy hump day.

this shirt has a hilarious lining.  i found it in a sale rack at gap this spring.  make sure your outfit is plain jane if you wear a shirt w contrasting patterns.  unless you like the attention, and i do, so i wear white bucks.  because i can handle the spotlight.  put it on me, give me the mic, turn the bass up in my headphones.

the silentist posted a reminder that there is a finite amount of time left for white shoe appropriate weather.  so get it in.

happy tuesday.  and what up to all my new followers.  i appreciate the attention. haha.

pretty rare that wear something sized large.  but today decided to go for the baggy thang.  that real drapey shit.  sort of.

i dont know how many of you broad shouldered skinny waisted bros are out there but this is one solution to style a slightly fuller bodied shirt.  it helps if its patterned as well.

additionally, this fall im gearin’ up to try some next level shit with my wardrobe.  on some real #menswear shit.  that rebloggable shit.  the shit that make park&bond go cray.  the shit that make the haters go hay.  the shit that makes your girl go *____*.  

this ties in to the recent #mensW(e)AR concerning the topic “dressed by the internet/for the internet.”  to which i reply, yes, its great getting reblogs, however, i would be wearing this anyways, even if I never left my apt.

but if i cant use my personal blog to express myself aesthetically where can i?  i might crash and burn, but at least im creating content instead of reblogging posts and dropping bombs on people cataloging their evolving style.  be a teacher, not a hater.  either way, you lucky ducks get to watch.

cheers to constructive criticism,

alex

i love these chinos.  they are a little slim for my taste but the texture and little details are great.  inseam pockets with contrast lining, reinforced stitching on the seat.  

fresshhhhhhhh.

thanks to kevin at Frank’s Chop Shop for the cut.

i remember reading on the internetz some dude posted that black shoes are wack.

while i agree that brown shoes are more versatile, black shoes can have their moments.

happy monday.
