For 18 months I watched either the Maurey Povich or What Not to Wear. In WNTW, people with horrible clothes sense are nominated by their friends and given $5,000 to replace their old wardrobe. Because the hosts basically throw everything they own away.
The usual girl/clothes drama ensues. A few posts ago I mentioned needing help with my fashion sense for the Norway part of my upcoming vacation. No one offered to help. HAHAHA. So I read about some men's 2012 fashion trends, looked at clothing retailer websites and just went out and shopped today.
No way could I spend five grand, but I was able to spend almost $400 at J Crew, H&M, Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy. In that I got some pieces that will mix with some stuff I already have and really updated my 'look'.
I'm not a model, though I have modeled, so you get pictures of the clothes on the floor. Without too much of my toes peeking into the picture either.
Pair of rough twill/canvas shoes, white jeans, gray and brown chinos, striped t-shirts and a couple madras print shirts.
What do you think?
I think they will all look great on you!
ReplyDeleteDid you get a pair of Manpris? (man capris?) those are quite european, lets remember you are going to Norway, those crazy tall hot men are all about fitted fashion.
ReplyDeleteI think you could fold up the pants to have manpris, those shoes will look good with them, unless you have a pair of comfortable oxfords to walk around in, which have been totally 'in' for quite some time now. Did you get a fitted jacket?
1. i did think of a jacket. i saw a few light weight fitted ones that would work. i just wasnt brave enough to do it.
ReplyDelete2. the shoes are espadrilles! haha.
3. everything is a little more fitted than i normally get. especially the pants. i am an owner of white jeans! haha crazy.
4. yes, i know the euro manpri well. i will probably try it once or twice while there. never here. the pants do look like it would be easy to do so.
