Though this isnt the most expensive outfit, I love the way it came together. My buying habits are extremely erratic; sometimes I grab one outrageous thing that I have no clue how to wear, or what would even go with it, and other times its simple shit. From my light blue De la Renta jacket, to my white RL pants, somethings will be in the closet for some time, while things like my seemingly infinite collection if ties are worn everyday, especially with work.
Though it all, thrifted or full price, my style is within the same arena; comfort. Luxury or prep its all comfortable, including but not limited to fit, I mean also when I put it on, I KNOW, this is me, and me is this. Contrary to elitist style/menswear bloggers who are quick to call an outfit "costume-y" I believe clothes are more-so personality than status, though sometimes clothes and status do overlap, its not a must. Wearing a rep-tie doesnt make you any more Ivy than wearing MJ shoes will make you a better basketball player, and those were all reasons of function.
Granted I do have a degree, and I am working towards my masters, that indicates not what I wear, at least at this point. I dont believe this is a problem looking like you care, just because your job only requires "casual friday". Just because you are required to wear a suit, doesnt mean you have to be stiff either.I surprisingly I hate having to wear suits because im lazy and hate getting them tailored. I like blazers to mix and match with jeans. Plus I flat out hate wearing too much of the same color, like how suits are generally navy jacket + navy pants or black or grey top and bottom, something about that kills me on the inside and I dont know why *shrug* and as a consequence Im rarely happy to be wearing a suit, especially at work.
...anyway, Im alive, life's pretty good
