Outfit Architecture…

Sunday, June 17th, 2012

I’ma call this drop a ‘remodeling’ post.

I dropped pics on this RLX ‘Whitewater‘ series jacket along with the tee and olive blue label shorts, but I have been going H.A.M. over the sales at Bloomingdales so much that I copped some other I.T.s that could rock with the jacket.

The RLX sweaters are always some of my favorites because they are mostly hand knit and always full of technical details. This pullover reminds of a piece I seen on the homey MarQ Spekt.

I’m putting these Air Max 2011s in the mix with this ‘Fit now just to see if I get the POP I’m looking for. Accessories are a must for all of you outfit architects. I’ll be adding or subtracting from this ‘Fit until I pop the tags on this joint in the fall.

More Regatta Lifestyle…

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

The big homey and senior editor from Hip-Hop Wired, Alvin Blanco, invited me to take a run with him to the Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets. I hadn’t been to Woodbury in a couple of years so I was down to see what the scene looked like.

Blanco knew a secret route to take up to the outlets also. Now he’s got me fiending to fall thru New Jersey again to hit up some of the spots we encountered on the way. The outlets weren’t too shabby. I saw a few pieces I wanted to step to but unfortunately everything was in a size schmedium.

Polo Ralph Lauren still had some pieces from the Ocean Challenge series and I wasn’t mad at the colorways for the Australian set so I copped it and a teddy bear towel. The ticket prices were meh but this weekend was 30% off for Father’s Day and the add’l 20% for Polo.com members.

I’ll have to rock this ensemble when I go to visit the king of Australia, Robbie from UnKut.

Captain America Comeups…

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

As the great emancipation holidays approach for the nation and for the collective Black asses of African Americans I wanted to point your eyes and ears in the direction of another TJX Corp branded off-price department store – TJ Maxx.

They are holding some big pony knits in various nation states and since I value my USA dollars over all others I choose to spend them on a shirt which tells you where I’m from as opposed to where I’d like to travel.

This is the normal lane for Ralph Lauren offerings at the TJX family of stores. Something nice from a season past at a price too low NOT to copp even if the XXL ‘Custom Fit’ can sometimes look like a sports bra on my frame.

I, Too, Sing America Lifestyle…

Tuesday, June 5th, 2012

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed–

I, too, am America.

-Langston Hughes

Sneaker Fiends Unite District chapter president JaiSlayer sends us some pics from his upcoming Independence Day aka Juneteenth outfit architecture and it reminds me why I also rock hard with the freedom lifestyle.

I, too, sing America.

Outfit Architecture…

Friday, June 1st, 2012

The next few Outfit Architecture drops will be featuring my recent RLX pickups. Since the 2011 winter season I have had my eyes on RLX pieces and the 2012 spring line (Whitewater) is right in my adventure expedition lifestyle wheelhouse.

I copped the ‘Yosemite’ hiking jacket and the longsleeve tee.

The RLX tees are on some dynamic fit steez. I’ll prA’li need to wear a man Spanx under the tee just to contain my belly. LOL

‘Lo ankle socks and these sweet blue label olive cargos with more pockets than I can count. Part of my post-tax refund shopping spree thru the Marshall’s network. If by now you aren’t copping your ‘Lo on the low then I haven’t done a good job here at this website.

Ah man you gotta respect the fly shit and I’m talking about these New Balance ML581 joints. Please tell me you got sufficient New Bals in your archive?

I found these joints at Century21 for $50 cent. I had to copp just because they fux with this hiking theme so lovely. This outfit is gonna be a great day. Holler at me if you see me in the streets.
