Benjamin x Disick

On this nasty carpet Bixby fresh on one knee… (3stacks voice)

An Ode to Andre 3000s clothing line ‘Benjamin Bixby’ and one of my favorite fashionisto’s Dapper Disick (Scott Disick)

I need to start formulating more mens outfits. I’ve been inspired by Disick and Benjamin, as well as the wardrobe of the hit series Mad Men with the fitting of the clothing. Clothing is meant to complement the body. I despise baggy clothing or the infamous “let’s step on the back of our jeans until they create holes in them” (sigh) Jesus. You can’t go wrong with earth tones. Just try not to make an everyday thing out of it.

For the men who are afraid to step out in bold colors donned by Dapper Disick, yet want to capture his image AND incorporate 3stacks’ ‘1930s football attire’, then this outfit is just for you.

The checkered shirt is from Ralph Lauren’s: Denim Supply. I’d check it out if you want to get out of “streetwear” or “urban wear” yet, want to dress a little less than casual. I love the Cravatta Pelliano bow tie because its more rugged with a deep cocoa color and ribbed fabric (Men in bow ties just seem to win me over). I got the dark pink chinos from TopMan. Let’s tone it down from the Killah Cam hot pink. They have a store conveniently in SoHo. One of my favorite conversation pieces besides the Invicta (we’ll get to that) is the GANT preppy striped webbing belt. You don’t have to match ALL of your colors within the belt. It’s meant to bring out the outfit, so play with it a little.

Invicta watches have been a favorite of mine since my ex-boyfriend introduced me to them. It’s a grown man’s watch and some cost as low as $100 (here pictured at $425). I love the oatmeal sweater and it is a DAKS sweater (if you can afford it, by all means), but if you can’t, there are some dubs just as great. Wear this over your button up, showing off the checkered collar and sleeves.

All men should have a pair of Camper shoes or at least some that look like these. I am SICK of seeing grandma’s table cloth on a pair of shoes. Nothing wrong with a little leather crocodile ribbed sneakers to show your casual side, good for any event.

And i used the colors incorporated in the outfit as a backsplash :)

Summertime Fine

I really missed doing this. I don’t know what made me stop. Everyone has either asked me why or if I’m not doing this anymore, then could I write for their blog. The answer is, I’m going to continue to do this and of course I’ll write for anyone. I’m not good with time management, and that’s something I have to work on, definitely. But now that I’m back, I have so much to update you guys on<3: I’m single again. I just wrapped up yet another semester at school and I finally left Wells Fargo for a different bank (rhymes with AD Foreman Haste). I’m getting back to the things that I love to do, the things I remember and miss. I’m not going to let anyone or anything take that away from me. But while you guys are here…

I hope you like what you see. I hate malls so I haven’t been getting my ideas from there. But I have been watching the news, MadMen, and just observing the fashion sense I see on ordinary people. I used to admire certain celebs and their sense of fashion but then I remember that they have a stylist. files nails. But my favorite two people in this fashion game are Solange and June Ambrose. Everyone else can have a Cosmopolitan book and a seat.

The dress is from modcloth.com and I highly encourage you all to check it out. Sundresses are a must for the summer and whether tall or short, add some chunky heels for extended length. The banana wooden heels are from Madison Harding. I used a Milly straw tote from the gap (via piperlime.com), and the almost $2400 max and chloe earrings are something you can find at Forever21 for about 7 bucks (let’s be gentle to our pockets). On the frugal side of things, the Kelena Floral cocktail ring costs about $25 at fantasyjewelrybox.com. Cocktail rings have always been a friend of mine because i love LOVE L O V E gaudy bulky jewelry #JerseyTweet.

Enjoy and let me know if you love it/hate it.
