distraction & intellectual detachment are necessary to the success of anything worthwhile.

two shirts & a denim jacket with tapered pants and bandana scraps accompanied by fancy shoes and garnished with sunlight.

i’ve really taken a liking to this denim jacket i picked up a few months ago on some crazy levi’s sale. (70% off, come on…) 

with all this nonsensical weather we’ve been having this jackets found itself hanging out on my shoulders for a week straight. it’s a nice fit and a perfect layering piece. i was hesitant after my purchase but despite it’s color being identical to most of my pants - it challenges me to distract and separate. i added the bandana scraps as i do with most of my jackets but i think here, it works.

your style isn’t for everyone, it wont be. but it’s yours, so create it and fix it and attempt it and occasionally fail. but have fun. laugh at yourself - sometimes i look fuckin’ ridiculous.

let’s fight this weather together.

winter whites, winner blues.
took advantage of the sun today despite the temperature. and i rediscovered these pants in my closet surrounded by linen shirts and cotton ties. took a quick glance outside (neighbors got the pantless show, brought to them commercial free via me) and decided to give them an off season go. shot over to the park after a quick errand or two downtown and snapped off a couple shots.
found the pants a few years ago on a j.crew outlet sale rack, $14 if i remember correctly. aces. (haha, aces..) they’re a bit looser around the calf than i am accustom to but i really like the wrinkled look with these, cuts some of the wide taper and donates an interesting texture. i’m not much for folding clothing anyway, i dig wrinkles.
finally got cold, now i’m dressing for the warmth.

place yourself in someones shoes, try to understand, figure it out and rationalize how they’ll feel. but remember that you’re whats ultimately important - then make your decision.

late rising. quick operating.
it’s been such a odd climate here. the sun has been letting my coats get lost. staying light, when its bright - right? right.
grabbed a pair of 511 cords and this cotton club monaco jacket last trip to the city. really digging the fit and daytime informality of the blazer, comfortable, fitted and light weight for when the winter decides to appear. tossed a light grey shirt on for uniformity purposes, followed by a bright orange hometown pizzeria shirt - because i’m undercover cool.
the cords are great also, good fall-winter transition daylight color and texture. landed them in a financially resourceful way through a friend and really happy with them. the fit is what’s to be expected from most levi’s 511 cut. nothing wild about these pants (yet) - just comfortable and simple.

time to step up the game. that coordination game, that match from head to toe game, that playing pictionary game, that game, the game, bandana game.

i really enjoy bananas, and bandanas. but a kid’s got to play it safe, pay note where notes due. somethings, i just let slide. gangs, you can have the blue & red, hell, you can even take the purple and gold but i’m timestamp/signature/copywrite/screenshot/trademark/allrightsreserved/chastity belt’ing white bandanas. use them however, whenever for whatever. i have a shred on my camera, in my shoes, on my keys, on my wrist, on my friend’s wrist, on my friend’s mom’s office assistant’s daughter’s wrist - these bandanas, they get around.

inexpensive, cross utilizable, won’t start a turf war and dapper as all danger.
