1/21/09 POST (GOT ANOTHER TWO OUTFITS FOR YOU!!)

I wore this outfit on yesterday:



I guess one of my students was right, when she said, "You dressed plain today". I personally liked this outfit because it exudes a certain timelessness: the polo and khakis look. It can otherwise be referred to as the "preppy look"; however, this truly goes beyond any other trendy outfit that could be posted for a number of reasons. The main reason is that it is such a classic combination of pieces, that one can not go wrong wearing this staple of modern fashion.

The cap that I choose to wear is the South African World Baseball Classic team hat. It is green with a small image of the country's flag on the side. Notice that the colors in the flag (red, blue, yellow, green, white, and black)are some of the colors in the polo shirt. The khakis are made by Structure Clothing.

The shoes are a pair of Nike Premium Blazers, made from the same material as the bubble North Face parkas that people wear in very cold weather. I am especially proud of this particular pair of shoes because I purchased them before this style became extremely popular in the mainstream.

Now for outfit numero dos:



The cap is made by a company called KidRobot. All I can say is that they are very dope and fresh, so look out for them. The capp is made of the same material as a sweatsuit. One thing I like about fitteds, especially New Eras, is that they take the time and energy to cross the line and make their hats from what I would call "non-conventional" materials. This makes the hat much more cooler and unique.

The hoodie is made by a company called Kirra. I assume that it is a skate apparel company, seeing as that I got it (on sale) from Pac Sun in Houston's Galleria Mall. It has the same colors as both the shoes (white and black) and the underbill of the cap (light blue).

The jeans are just regular old jeans.

The shoes are the Vans x R. Crumb "Mr. Natural" Deconstructs. High top with a mostly white outer part, there are drawing on both the outside and inside of the shoes. Great attention paid to this collaboration between these two entities.
