Chris-P Kit N°1 & 2

I have this friend Chris-P of the couple "Chandy" (Chris & Brandy) and recently he's been getting into my gear telling me how he digs my style. Cool. While I do dress to impress -I take that as a great compliment- I really do it for myself, when I look good I feel good and I try to feel good every day.

I figured since he’s feelin' my style I’d hook him up with a kit of his own… Granted I am not buying him any of this gear (I wish), I’m just putting a look together for him, in this case two looks, Day & Night.

Chris-P is a bigger guy than myself, which is no surprise most everyone I know is bigger than me. Anyhow, due to his figure & current style I think he’d be able to rock more of a street-style look than myself. When I think of street-style the first thing to come to mind is footwear. I think street-style offers itself to a more urban and playful side of footwear. Something like Red Wings, while many men wear Red Wings to the daily grind I think the styling is also suitable for urban wear.

Check it out:

N°1 - Day

 

 

 

N°2 - Night

 

While both looks are relatively the same, each one offers a different opportunity in occasion. The first look is a little more comfortable and playful, ready for the day ahead, with it's color combination and skull tie. The second look is much more cleaner, ready for a night out, but it retains that edge with the eye-catching skull and crossbones tie. I don't know if I could pull these shoes off but I'd definitely get down on both N°1 & N°2.

Shamless

I can already tell that this is going to be one of my favorite shows. Good stuff, check it out on ShoTime if/when you get a chance, you will not regret it.

That’s how many T-Shirts I pulled out of my closet and have about half that in T’s still hung up. With the passing of another year I decided that I need to get organized, so on December 30th after tucking Lil Money off to bed I got after it. First I straightened up my book shelf and sorted my pocket squares into a nice box. That was easy. Next I hit the closet like a crash test dummy at the collision testing facility… I hit it hard, it was messy but the results were necessary and positive.

Here’s the breakdown of the shakedown.

-6 Blue (Variations)

-1 Tie Die (Yeah, and what? I’m from Austin, I don’t care who you are, it’s pretty much mandatory.)

-3 Gray (Variations)

-3 Orange (Variations)

-4 White

-1 Purple

-4 Yellow (Variations)

-4 Red

-1 Maroon

-8 Black

-7 Green (Variations)

-3 Tan

-5 Brown (Variations)

Looks like I need to have an Ebay sale or something; I knew my closet was packed but I never realized it was this out of hand. And like I mentioned before I still have quite a bit still hanging around. Although, those are on ”tryouts” right now during the “off-season”… If I don’t wear them around the house chances are I won’t wear them around town. We’ll see how it goes, I’m not a hoarder but I don’t really want to get rid of these T’s, I’d like to give some to Lil Money at some point.

But, when I think about it, if I sell all 50 for only $2.00 that’s easily $100.00… I think I’ll start the bidding at $5.00 though. Again, we’ll see.

Check out the madness that was the method.
