let’s go play stick ball, get ice cream and people watch.

I’m listening to counting crows all day.

“dude, you look like the unibomber”
“cool, can you take some pictures of me?”
“yeah, get some beers - lets go”

i didn’t think the last post i wore this coat in did it justice, it’s a perfect fit. two seasons old and one of my favorite pieces out of Johnie B - a offshoot brand of the London based company Boden. I am truly surprised Boden hasn’t yet made a bigger splash into the market but slow and steady proves beneficial for this 21 year young brand. Check out some of their stuff - the quality and customer service is impeccable.

this is one of my lazy day go-to set ups. earlier today i found some old clark laces from my alternative pair, so i double laced these and kind of dig the way they look. class/internship begin tmrw - it’s a fortunate lackadaisical monday.

i’m coming to realize it’s okay to be a little confused, understanding the big picture  is far more crucial.

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.
