Just a Sec More

DAILY ROUTINE by Animal Collective 

I listen to it, well, Daily. There's more movement in it than significance, which is what needs to start happening. 

The outfit has only British brands. The shirt is Fred Perry, underneath is actually a sweater by Topman, the pants are from ASOS, the boots are Dr. Marten's, and lastly my bag's the definition of British fashion: Paul Smith. 

I basically wanted something that would go well with my hair, something interesting and wouldn't make my new yellow as impacting as it could've been because I'm still trying to get used to it myself. Oh well, it's for charity, which speaking of which!

TUCSON: Moda fashion show is this SUNDAY! If you haven't bought your ticket yet please do. Ask me how! They are selling for $30! All proceeds go to SAAF (Southern Arizona Aids Foundation). 

SO - After Moda the question is, Rihanna Red or no???

Atento

All those days that I spent saying, "Wow, I wish that it would be cold so I could be all cute and bundled up" are over. Today has been hell in Arizona. Pretty much the entire state was not prepared for a canadian wind chill that took over the Southern West of the states and last minute everyone scurried to begin layering. Today I wore my first turtle necked sweater which turned out fabulous, I didn't have to feel the freezing wind attack my neck. However, I guess we are pretty lucky here that it's at least sunny, and this only happens about once a year if that. Let's just say that for sure nobody spotted any groundhogs here. Now, I'm lounging around, warm in very comfortable clothing happy to be inside. Unfortunately, today was only a prelude to tomorrow. Wish us Arizonans luck!!

Casual Friday - (Vamos Estar Tu Y Yo)

Yesterday may have been one of the worst fashion faux-pas that have occurred in a while (& I'm not talking about sweats and Uggs boots [that's a different story]). I went the whole day in just a graphic tee! At first I didn't think that was a big deal or anything - actually I thought that I looked pretty OK. It wasn't until people started noticing that I looked different yesterday and well it turns out it's that I was just so casual looking. But I'm a believer in attracting things into your life (like the Secret) and by being to my standards so disorganized looking my day ended up being just that! For one I lost my password for my email, took a 4 hour nap, and couldn't even talk right. I don't know, moral of the story is, live up to your own expectations. For me that means don't ever wear just a random graphic tee again. It will throw off my game.

So today I needed to enhance my look. Neckwear is an essential component to any gentlemen's wardrobe and unfortunately it's not something that I wear all that often. So what better way to go from one extreme to the other. However, I woke up feeling groggy like I have been all week because of a minor cold, so I dressed my tie casually. The entire essence of the look was very laid back but it still had that going-to-work type feel to it. I liked it. I plan on doing the collar + tie + sweater combo more often while I still can. Only of matter of weeks here until the temperature begins to only permit shorts and short sleeves! 

I'm so happy to be posting a look again. Ever since being in school it feels like I never have time to creepily take pictures of myself and edit them. Currently just waiting for my friend to give me some of the pics he took of me the other day when I wore my Lanvin shoes. Should be soon. 

Jo du Jour J'aime YOU!

Vintage in Modern

Sweater: Christian Dior

Bag: Paul Smith

Pants: Obey

Shoes: Vintage

Shirt: BDG

Another look from last week. This one was taken in Las Vegas right before we left for the city center again. It's just such a cosmopolitan dream and you cannot miss it if you're ever in that city. Gorgeous and to die for. Already want to go back! 

As for the look, I've posted something similar but I like this better because I will be quite frank. The first time I was trying too hard! I had so many plans for this sweater and black but I took it to an obnoxious duo-toned level that should've never occurred.

PLUS: I'm in love with my new bag from Paul Smith! Definitely was feeling ambitious when I bought it and I do not regret it! It fits everything I need it too and I'm so ready for Spring fashion it's so not even funny!

With that though, I am back at school now, but I promise to keep on posting posts! Love you <3<3<3

Love,

Jo du Jour
