Some Advice–My Love of Fashion part 1

I wanted to tell a little story about my flip flopping habits. Every year my style and taste seems to change with the seasons.  One day I’m loving a brand and buying only that brand and the next day, I’m on to the next thing.  I almost stopped being a sneakerhead and then I realized the problem, I was compiling bullshit mediocre shoes.  I looked at my collection and I learned that I was just buying any old shoe; there wasn’t any passion or love in my collection.  I purged the unwanted shoes and thinned out the collection, then with the money from the purge  I was able to to buy new and better kicks.  I do this with every level of my outfit.  I always sell my denim online and buy new ones. 

My tee shirt buying process is a little tricky.  I have a set amount of hangers and if I buy too many tees than I have to get rid of some old tees. I never buy more hangers.  It’s a pretty simple process. You should  put a limit or budget on everything you buy.  You don’t have to own everything to have an awesome wardrobe.  Buy the basics.  The basics are items you can’t live without: a basic white tee, a regular pair of blue denim and a nice pair of  brown or black shoes.  Here’s some other things you may need: a quality blazer, a light and heavy coat, a simple pair of khakis and a pullover or cardigan sweater.  Graphic tees are your own personal taste,  I would recommend simple tees with artistic graphics or photographs.  You don’t want to go overboard or have a crazy or loud color.  Try to stick with colors that go with the current season; there are exceptions, but only once in a while. 

I think my biggest problem is finding a denim company I can stick with for a couple of years. My closet is currently dominated by Levi’s, but I do have some other brands, WeSC and Nudie Jeans.  I started my love of denim with Diesel jeans.  The story doesn’t end there, but this post does…..Until the next blog.  Same bat time, same bat channel.
