What I Wore: 01/31/13

SCARF: Irish Hiking Scarf
TOP: Denim Western via Modcloth (SOLD OUT!)
KHAKIS: GAP
BOOTS: Steve Madden (They're really old!)

I was really excited to dress like a human and do one of these today! I may go back to doing them weekly. I always search blogs for outfit ideas, but there only a handful that blog at all, let alone doing WIW posts.

It's funny. I wear this scarf a lot. A LOT. I never put it on Ravelry and the yarn is pretty basic Araucania stuff from AC MOORE, but I really do love it.

I bought these boots about three years ago but didn't actually start to like them until this winter. They're so warm!

I scored this shirt at the Modcloth 70% sale, the khakis are wardrobe staples.

Hopefully, us boys can get the ball rolling. We like to look nice sometimes, too!

What I Wore: 3/9/12

I refuse to give up on the Dreamy Diana lens. I think it's all about making sure the camera face the sun. IDK. I kind of like what was happening with these photos, especially the one in the middle with the rainbow lens flare!!!

Glasses-Hot Topic

Flannel-Caldor (Vintage)

Tee-RL Polo

Jeans- American Apparel Regular 100s

Shoes-Sperry Topsiders

I took that last photo with a regular lens because I was losing light really quickly and I can't use the flash with the Diana lens for some reason.

Don't forget to vote for my project on CraftyMinx's blog!:

What are you wearing today?

dudecore: what i wore.

I spent all day learning new photo editing techniques! As you can tell, I'm pretty excited.

I've been trying to come up with a little title for these "what i wore" posts, and this was the best I could think of.

I know Iv'e already rambled on about my feelings concerning men's fashion, and in light of that I'd really like to do more style posts. I think that's men's fashion is a much different animal than women's. Women have a lot more options!

I don't care too much about labels, but I am very cautious of the way things fit. As a smaller dude, there aren't a lot of options. Every time I find good vintage, it's wayyy too big and most "sophisticated" retailers don't carry the sizes I need.

In order to find things that fit properly, you'll see me digging through the racks at decidedly teen retailers to find thing that fit appropriately. This outfit is a perfect example of that.

Plaid Shirt- American Eagle

Jeans- Old Navy (can you believe it?)

Topsiders- Sperry

Sunglasses- Hot Topic

Coming Up...

-The Never-Ending Braided Rug.

-A Work in Progress; The Bathroom.

-The First Roll of Film From My Diana Mini

-Acrylic Stash-busting + Vintage Craft: God's Eye

...and much more

"Eternal Teenager Syndrome" or "All the Girls Are Doing It, So Why Can't We?"

Hey!

I've decided to do an outfit post, but it's not because I think I dress particularly exciting or trendy. My wardrobe consists of mostly neutral colors, and I don't really wear accessories. If I find something that I really love, I may wear it constantly for a week or two. This is how boys work. We find something we like, and tend to stick with it. That being said, I think that doing outfit posts may make me a little more conscious of the things that I do throw on.

One of my favorite men's fashion blogs (remember, we are using the term loosely) is An Affordable Wardrobe. Giuseppe is my fashion icon. He has a well curated collection of thrifted clothing that fits well and doesn't cross the line. When I go shopping, I always think about his explanation of "eternal teenager syndrome" and how men of a certain age disregard the age appropriateness of baggy cargo shorts and a (insert mall store) tee. I never comment his blog, there is a small network of nasty "trads" who pick everything apart and I don't want to get wrapped up in that nonsense. I appreciate what he's doing. I've learned through reading his blog that dressing well doesn't necessarily mean buying a bunch of new stuff every week, but it does mean making good choices. This has boiled over into a life philosophy. "Just because something looks awesome, doesn't mean I need to have it".

Another reason why I think it's important to do more outfit post is connectivity to the blogosphere. Of course I want to continue to provide quality content and unique features, but I also want connect with my brothers and sisters out there on the 'net and prove that I am human and that I wear clothes. I've started to read a handful of new blogs, and it seems like everyone is sharing an outfit here and there and while most of them are girls in cute vintage dresses, my pal Colby Kern is proving that "the brothers are doing for themselves". You're an inspiration, guy! I think that's it's important for us boys to join in on the fun, and to prove that sometimes we can look good too.

And here's where you get to join in.

-What is your favorite thing about menswear?

-Do girls have to consider looking age appropriate?

-What are your favorite (online) men's vintage sellers?

So without further rambling, this is what I wore to work yesterday. The temperature in the store shifts from boiling to freezing throughout the day, so I need to be prepared for all weather phenomena. In addition, I rarely wear shorts but I love these to bits. I had sunglasses on, but I took them off for the picture because I felt like I was pushing it.
