Tuesday Special

I don't usually post on Tuesdays but today is a special day. My son attended his 8th grade dinner dance last Friday evening and I was able to take some pictures AND post them! Of course he chose which pics to post and beggars can't be choosy. :-) He said he had a good time and he took more pics with his friends. Like I mentioned in my post on Friday, children grow up so fast and my son is almost as tall as me. Now I just have to prepare for the HS wars.

Melswear: Cool Stripes

| No comments

Thursday! One day to go. Mel went out last night with her sisters to see the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. This gave me the opportunity to style her again. Most times styling is fun but sometimes it isn't. I was getting a little frustrated because I didn't have very much time to fully choose what I wanted and I still had to take the photos. Blogging ain't easy Suzy. At first I was going for a preppy look but we didn't have all of the pieces I wanted so that left me really trying to hurry and get it right. I wanted to give up but she convinced me to keep going and that helped to make things a little easier. All you need is support and a little push sometimes. In the end it wasn't so bad. I just need to know how to work under pressure. This look is a mix of sporty casual and dressy. I decided on semi-dark cuffed denim, tie and cognac dress shoes for the dressy part. A white linen button down, striped sports jacket and snapback for the sporty casual part. Here's Mel and her oh so serious face. :-)

Outfit Details:

Jacket - Ross Stores Similar

Button Down - Old Navy Similar

Jeans - Hudson Similar

Shoes - Stacy Adams
Tie - Gifted Similar

Bracelets - DIY

Watch - JC Penney Similar
Cap - Lids Similar

Melswear: Tickle me Pink

It's Melswear Thursday! Time for some personal styling on menswear. This week Mel decided to dress it up a bit since she was attending a marketing conference. She wanted to keep it business casual so we styled her in a tweed blazer, pink fitted button down, dark blue denim, and gave it a pop with some two toned oxfords. Later that evening I took her out to catch a movie since I scored some free movie passes. We ended up watching Tyler Perry's Temptation. It was cool. You know the typical TP movie. Pretty much predictable. If you want to check it out maybe you should wait until it hits Netflix. Here's the complete look..
