Settled

March 30, 2016

I've recently decided to take a unexpected turn in my life and moved across the states to California. I've been living back and forth between New York City and Michigan for while and it has been exhausted yet comfortable as I was used to the routines that I was doing. I've grew bored of the cities as everything is the same. I lost the passion and excitement I had for New York City. I needed a change of everything and just moved to California with an unclear future...I didn't have a job or anything line up in California. But I wanted to get back to who I was when I first moved to New York City. A young kid who was hungry for success and determined to make a name for myself.

Today's blog post is about keeping your outfit simple by playing with texture. Recently purchased this rigged texture sweater from H&M as part of the Selected By Beckham collection. I don't think I need to say much about this sweater as it speaks for itself. A simple design but bold piece to wear. The perfect bottom to wear with this sweater is just a simple back slacks and white sneakers.

Blending two different pattern pieces can be hard, but it can work when the two pattern compliments each other by having similar color tone. Playing up the patterns can bring your outfit from okay to phenomenal.

To think outside the box is to go against the norm and that is what this new watch brand did. Great George is a different kind of watch brand that is on its own lane. Born and created in New York City by two friends. Great George offers square watches made with quality materials at an obtainable price.

Today's blog post I am styling one of the watches from the collection named "The Warren". The Warren is made with brushed steel case. Come with marine dial and saddle leather strap.

Styling the watch with a double-breasted suit to help bring out the sophistication of this watch. A beautiful watch deserve a beautiful suit to go with it.

Putting together this ensemble without clashing each pieces can be tough, but you got to remember one single rule. Finding pieces that compliment each other rather than fighting it. To help tone this green suit, I went with a soft orange textured sweater and a white shirt underneath.

Putting this look together can not be done without the proper footwear. I decided to keep it sport chic with a nice pair of white sneakers from American Eagle Outfitters.

Audacious

I often get asked what is my style? And I honestly do not have the correct answer as my style is forever changing. I do not think that I should just stick to one style as I am always growing and changing myself.

With each looks that I do, it is all me and not me playing dress up. I love being able to be versatile and not just be one style.

When it come to fashion it is okay to be simple and not so over the top. I want to style my outfit in a way that show off the pieces and let it come together as one. I don't want my clothes to clash.

When you have such a bold suit like this one from Darkoh. You want to keep it simple and let the suit be the main focus because it is already is with such a beautiful color (that is why red is my favorite color).

So with this suit, I'd like to keep it very simple with a plain black shirt to help contrast with the red. A white shirt would be okay, but it wouldn't have the same affect as the black since the buttons on the suit is black. It is better to match it with a black shirt.
