Details, Details...

Today's post is not so much an "outfit" post,

as it is a scrutinization of details.

Details are extremely important

and often disregarded in determining

the outcome of a look.

So I thought I would spend a little time
talking about some so-called trivial elements

that I feel really add to an outfit...

Alas...
print mixing.
Stripes and polka-dots together
are SO 90s toddler.
(Yes, I did just say toddler)
And to top it off,
a luxe-looking necklace just
gives a bizarre feel to the entire thing.
I mean, come on, grown-up toddler clothes
with sophisticated bling?
That's one fancy baby and work it.

Here we observe the half-tuck.
Half put-together, half sloppy.

Combine them together and you got
that effortless "whatevah" look
that gives the connotation that
you might have intended to
dress appropriately,
but then you got lazy half-way
and so simply did not care
to tuck the back part in.

Oh...you're so cool...

Now we direct our gaze to
the cuff-roll.

These sloppily rolled-up cuffs
also show that we're much too cool
to care about rolling our cuffs up appropriately.

It gives the effect:
"I was in a hurry today so I rolled my cuffs up quickly
and so screw it if they both aren't clean and identical."
Because who wants identical rolled-up cuffs?
That's my question.

Just throw on some nice heels/wedges
so people will know that you are
one effortlessly classy individual.

On a last note,
I want to bring your attention to
my crotch my carelessly worn belt.
(no, that is not my arm extended to
take a picture of my crotch)


Seriously...
just observe the rugged negligence of it all!
Rumpled shirt...squinched pants...untucked belt strap...
Johnny...it's BEAUTIFUL!

Do you ever consider the little details
when putting together an outfit?
