iTHRiVE: August 2011

There is nothing like a man who has impeccable style, has a goatee, and loves the LORD. Yes! I'm so serious!!!!! I give major kudos to any male who is not afraid to take risk when it comes to his wardrobe, women do it all the time. Don't be afraid to add color, prints, texture to your look. Get creative. Fall is approaching...so I decided to take peek at a few stores that I like, to see what they had to offer....So, let's take a look ...

Velour Blazer -Zara

I heart the color of this Blazer! It's so Fresh! Let's dismiss this grey shirt, though! It works, its just too "safe" for me. Instead of the grey consider a shirt with patterns, ...or try some color blocking by adding a color like purple or yellow underneath instead. Monochrome is another option (meaning using the same color of the blazer but in a different shade.)

Trucker Jacket - Levi
Jean Jackets can work with almost any and everything in your closet ( male or female). You can pair it with printed/color/khaki pants...boots, moccasin, or a sneaker. Jean jackets, loves everyone!

Jacket - H&M

This jacket shows off the "silhouette"- shape/form.... one of the reasons as to why I like it as well as the detail..The jeans work... Ditch the bag throw on some boots - "BAM" u ready for fall


Sweater- Diesel

I'm all for mixing patterns and colors together but this up top is not working for me. The shirt takes away from the hotness of this olive green sweater. I would stay simple and add some brown to this look w/a darker denim pant.

Sweater w/ Aplique Foulard -Zara
I like this as is....Clean Cut and Polished...

Zara
I would put accompany this top w/ a leather motorcycle jacket. Roughen the look add a black sculley


Checkered Blazer - Zara	Not to thrilled about the white t-shirt under the blazer but Im digging this jacket. I would add a necklace.


Varsity Jacket	I love everything about this look. It's simple, casual, yet still stylish. I like the Brown belt peeking out Scarf with this style jacket is a great combo. I wouldn't mind a paper boy hat w/ it as well.

How about some wrist action...
