Redefine

We could be and do anything we want. That's what I have been telling a lot of my friends. I know that It sound really cliché, but we really have to seize the moment. So...that's why I've decided to move to Los Angeles, CA. I am scare to start over again, but I am excited for what to come here. I don't know what is going to happen or if I will do well. I just know that I want this. Sometimes fear is a good thing. It pushes me to succeed.

Today's blog post is about mixing the new and old pieces in your closet to create a new look. Mixing two of my favorite suits from Darkoh and Perry Ellis to create a bold suit.

I am not the kind of person to wear an outfit once. I always recycle my looks by changing up a few things about it. If you remember from my previous blog post, this red double breast suit was a made for my birthday. I have worn it a few times by styling it with different shirts and shoes with it. This time I decided to just wear the blazer only.

I decided to pair the blazer with a simple pair of black dress pants that is part of my Perry Ellis suit. I love the color combination of red and black. It is just a bold and powerful look that you can wear to an event that you want to stand out in.

Luster

My daily essentials is not complete without a great sweater to add to my closet. I am a sucker for wearing sweaters as it is such an easy way to upgrade your wardrobe. 

Living in a state that have 2 season; winter and construction (Michigan joke for those Michiganders out there reading my blog). Layering is my daily life and it's easy to do with the right sweater.

Today's blog post feature a vibrate yellow sweater from H&M Modern Essential collection which is Selected By David Beckham. With a sweater so bold is it easy to style as you already know that is is going to be the key piece in your outfit. The only way to work it is by dressing around the sweater.

In keeping the sweater as the key piece of my look, I just wear darker clothing such as this grey texture jacket and dark grey wool pants. Finish it with a simple all black slip on.

Sometime you just got to let your outfit do the talking for you. Growing up I had a hard time expressing myself because of my insecurities. I was very shy, reserve, and not as out going as I am now. I use clothes to express myself and I still do to this day.

Today's blog post is about letting loose. One of the best things about owning a nice suit is the ability to style it many ways. Today, I am letting loose from the dapper look into a more relax look for the summer.

Let's start with a nice shirt and unbutton 3-4 of the top buttons to let the breeze in your chest so it can glister in the sun. By not buttoning all the button you are already letting a cool and casual vibe for this suit.

Keeping it classy with the accessories with a pattern handkerchief and a gold watch for that pop of color to your full on solid color suit. I'd love to wear sneakers with my suit when I like to dress down. A pair of clean white sneakers are best to compliment a casual look.

I'd would wear this look around town as it is easy to wear and very comfortable. A great look for dinner and the club/bars after.

Basic

Over the past few years, we have come to a conclusion that to dress boring or normal is "basic". Why do we have to dress for attention, but rather just dress in whatever we feel comfortable with. Dress for yourself not for others. To dress “normal” is the height of chic, yet to call someone “basic” is the chicest put-down, one that shows no signs of disappearing.

Today's style post is very "basic" or I'd like to call it chic. It is an easy look that is easily put together when you are in a hurry or don't have time to put something together but you still want to look effortless. One of my must have essentials in my wardrobe is the basics, which are, clean white shirts, tailored black slacks, an overcoat, and your to-go-to black shoes.

Whenever I am traveling away for the weekend I always pack my basics because it is light packing and can be put together in many ways. They go with any shirts, slacks, and occasions. During the last leg of winter, this grey overcoat is my everyday coat to withstand the chilling wind and cold. The reason why I love this coat is the way it is made. So simple and practically. It has a great shade of grey and really does go with all of my looks (as you can see from my previous style posts). Plus I am a sucker for long coat. But who isn't right? When putting it on you just feel chic.

The last accessory for this look is a nice pair of watch that adds to the outfit and isn't there for display. The Filippo Loreti watch is the watch with a story. It is an unique and personal piece of jewelry that holds valuable memories.

We all heard of that one saying "____ is the new black" but let's be real. Nothing is ever going to be the new black. Black in anything is just simply easier on the eye. Here are a few tricks on how to look like stylish dressed in black from head to toe.

Today's blog post is all about looking sleek and chic in black. Dressing in black is very simple to do, but it can be tricky as you can look like some high school rebellious kid going against society (we all been there, done that). I am going to teach you how to look like the matrix in the fashion world. When wearing all black, I like to play around with different material for each pieces. Putting together fabrics that goes well with each other.

Starting off with a long bomber jacket with faux leather sleeves and cotton body. Pairing the jacket with a moto jacket for a grungy look. Finish the top with a button down shirt. As for bottom of the outfit I always trust my black jean from Uniqlo as you can get it tailored right after you buy it. You can pick it up the next day free of charge. Finishing off the whole look with a pair of polish dress shoe. I believe that the perfect pair of shoes can put the whole outfit together.
