Like a Million bucks

February 25, 2008

More random fashion related thoughts…like yesterday….

It’s amazing how Entertainers affect fashion

Jay-Z said Throwbacks were wack (After he wore them the WHOLE hard knock life tour) and alla sudden women start shunnin guys with Jerseys on
Shiiiiiddddddddd
1. I’m a sports fan so I’ma rock my ish (maybe not all outside everyday…but ima wear em)
2. Dem shits cost $300 a pop (if they are fly) I’m not retiring a damn thing

….

Cam Ron doesnt get enough credit for poppin Pink off…say what you want, There’s some hot pink shirts out there…people did go overboard but fukit I got a few button downs that have pink in it
I got a “salmon/eggplant” color Polo…it’s the hotness

This guy had Footlocker sellin Pink ass T Shirts and Nike made White Nikes with Pink Swooshes
That ish didnt just come from nowhere.

Remember Kwame and the polka dots? EVERYBODY had those joints…the hotness

Some things need to never happen again, those things are Uggs and Crocs
….

Do people still wear those big Belt Buckles and tuck their shirts in ONLY in the front to show them off?
…isnt that pretentious? And/Or Stuuuuupit?

You know what’s fly but serves no purpose? Those bubble Vests
You could rock those love love with some fly colors
BUT
If its too warm for long sleeves why you got on a big ass vest?
If it’s too cold for short sleeves, then put on a damn coat

Who’s like “WOOO! it’s Cold out here…yet my arms are HOT!”?

I LOVE shopping with women, I like picking out things for them…they go try things on and come out and show me, etc. etc.
I think that’s fun
Caveat: If they are attractive, have a nice shape, and fashion sense.
Otherwise I’d go but it just wouldnt be as much fun.

I’ve been known to go shopping with a pretty woman and liking something that they tried on and coppin it for them just off top.

I dont think there’s any reason for anyone to wear fur outside of the lining on a hood.

What is it about women thighs that make shorts ride up in the middle…never happens to guys.

I LOVE a woman that Loves to shop…it doesnt always have to be the expensive jump offs, the key to fashion is putting things together that looks good
You can hit Old Navy and Gap and put something with something from Salvation army or your grandmothers closet and make it fresh
…you can also hit Saks and be The illest.its just about how you rock it
I’ve seen some expensive ass hot Gar BADGE as well.

You know what’s that bull?
Women have TONS of stores and options when shopping…stores ESPECIALLY for women, ESPEICALLY for tops, bottoms, middles (what’s middles? I dunno lol)
Men have that ONE corner of the store 1/2 designer 1/2 store brand…gotta just get in where you may or may not fit in
Unless its a suit store…I aint wearin no suits man
THAT’S why I gotta move to NY
…well not move, but visit more often.

My Brands:

Sean John
Tommy (Collection though, not that regular bull)
Lacoste
LRG
Polo
Anybodys T Shirts

Shoes and Accessories:
Gucci
Prada
Nike
Adidas
Puma
Coach

You know what else?
Half the stores that DO cater to men got the ill fit.

I cant wear Kenneth Cole Shoes or Shirts
They got the Slim goodbody fits, like the coked out euro dudes
I’m built more like a Bentley they be tryin to fit Lambos

I need to have a label
eclectik apparel, my ish would be the illest

 

…And if your ass is a buster…you know what 213 will do.

    I need to have a label

    ^^^ You sure as hell do. You sound like such an expert. And that’s a hot brand name too.

    Please don’t Regulate…

    Yeah Cam’ron went over the edge with the pink, but overall, I like that color on men…

    I’ll fool with Uggs around the house, but Crocs are a no go unless Dr. is in front of your last name.

  • Keli

    I say wear your Jersey. Just do not become the guy that’s ALWAYS in a jersey…but I know you are WAY too fly for that.

    Pink is ok…but Cam’ron took that ish WAY too far…a hot pink Range Rover…not sexy!

    I like the big belt buckles…but hey…I’m a country girl. 

    What is it about women thighs that make shorts ride up in the middle…never happens to guys.
    -actually…I have seen guys with the shorts riding up the middle…dang thangs were too short.

    You can hit Old Navy and Gap and put something with something from Salvation Army or your grandmother’s closet and make it fresh
    -See that’s what I’m talking about. And too me…you can go to an expensive dept store, spend a whole lotta money, and still like a cheap mess.

    Regulate…

    this was a hot 1 line !!!

    p.s. Cam wears pink because he’s Blood Gang “friendly”. Think about it. Or not it’s actually a dumb reason to wear a color.

    who the hell created crocs and why are folks ROCKING it like they are the hotness???? went to ATL and guys were out on the street with them like they were real fly

    ahahahahahhaha that shorts riding up in the middle thing is to funny…..note to the people….go one size up..thanks! and I have seen it happen on guys…..not good at all

    I can cop a shirt from almost anywhere…..I step it up when necessary. I like to shop but I am not ‘ballin’ so I need to be frugal sometimes. I put things together that I don’t even thing look that hot and apparently to the plenty it is….who new!

    I love to dress a man. I have walked passed stores saying “aw i wish i had someone to buy that for. My own personal Ken doll, yay!

    Eclectik apparel huh, I’d rock it! Stay on that…..I would work with you I have some female line ideas!

  • bayoubeauti

    Now I really dont understand why you are single ..cause most woman(including myself) love to shop!

    “I’ve been known to go shopping with a pretty woman and liking something that they tried on and coppin it for them just off top.”

    Aww that is sooo sweet e. You really are a gentlemen:-)

    No you didn’t go back to Kwame & the polka dots!!! LMAO

    So you don’t rock Kenneth Cole gear…but what about the cologne…it’s the HOTNESS! I smell a man with that on and well…..

    And I like men in pink…like you said…long as they dont go over board with it.

    I hate polka dots! they make me sick for real!!

    Throwbacks were wack even when Jay-Z was wearing them. IMO.
    A grown ass man spending hundreds of dollars to wear a JERSEY and he isnt on the football field AND it’s another man’s name on his back is just LAME to me.
    It’s like-there is NO effort put forth in the appearance…and it’s not fashionable.

    I always wondered what was the point of those bubble vests…I like in the south so I wouldnt need to wear one anyway, but it seems to defeat the purpose.

    I love to shop, so does that mean you love me? 🙂

  • harriet

    repeat or no repeat, i still love it. thanks for the throwback blog, e!
