Be Bold


Even though James has a point when it comes to Akira, I cannot fully agree with him, I still love the store and all they have to offer.  Every time I walk into the store I am inspired to create an outfit that accomplishes my goals.  The colors and cuts of their clothes are very up to date and are always reasonably priced, not only do you get what you paid for, you get so much more.  When I saw this skirt I was instantly reminded of the 2013 Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer Fashion Show.  The only difference is the pricing, since most of us don't want to (aka can't) spend that much on a simple skirt Akira is a great alternate.  Pairing the skirt with bright colors helped to keep the outfit fun and casual, while adding an attitude.  Mothers and teachers don't like attitude, fashionistas on the other hand love it.  The attitude I'm talking about was provided by the pumps from Agaci, not only were the pumps full of rockstar attitude, they were also comfortable enough for a pregnant housewife to prance around in.  Comfort plus confidence is lethal my friends, with this combination we'll have men eating out of the palm of our hands, and this cropped shirt gets the job done.  By showing a little bit of midsection, and pairing it with the skirt with a belt we gave the illusion of a small waist to keep the boys gawking.  Remember this, belts will always compliment your waist, and our waists love compliments.

-Belt $16.90 Akira -Shoes $24.99 Agaci
-Sunglasses Tory Burch (don't ask just find any old replication to avoid the steep price)

Something important to remember out there guys, dont...I repeat DO NOT always wear jeans.  Chances are you are not a carpenter, nor are you a spokesperson for Wrangler Jeans, thus you need to mix up the attire below the waist every once in a while.  This week we decided to show you how to wear a casual pair of dress pants, and make it appropriate for a lunch date or a night at your favorite city hotspot.  The neutral grey color is complimented with the dark red plaid design, this design and color scheme begs for attention and attention is what you'll get.  Lets face it, looking like you just jumped off the set of Mad Men, but still kept your 2012 sense of fashion is sexy.  We like sexy, and so should you. The top half plays down the whole outfit and still keeps it weather appropriate.  The edgy shirt tells the world to f*ck off, while your pants tell it you went to college.  The cardigan keeps you warm and adds a feel of sophistication to the ensemble.  Overall the outfit speaks volumes, it tells people you have a high enough fashion IQ to stray away from the all encompassing world of jean and have the understanding to pull it off. Now go out there, buy a pair of  nice khakis and conquer something.
