How Did I Wear…

How did I wear…a deep crew neck tee?

For all those bench press monsters like myself, you may want to invest in a series of deep scoops neck t-shirts from ASOS to show off your nice chest. Created in a variety of colors and fits, these deep scoop necks t-shirts are great during those 85° days during the spring and summer.

So, I purchased my first scoop neck t-shirt, now what do I wear with it?

Tip: Since you are rocking a deep scoop neck shirt, you have endless possibilities. For a simple look, try a nice pair of fitted jeans. If you are headed to the beach, try a pair of European cut swim shorts. You can also layer your shirt with a plaid or denim button-up. As long as the chest is showing, that’s all that matters.

For myself, I paired my white deep scoop neck shirt with my favorite black skinny jeans and chelsea boots. When I threw this t-shirt on, it was giving me a “Happy Days” vibe. I was channeling my inner Fonzie, minus the leather jacket.

Tip: If you decide to step out in the deep scoop neck, you have to have a lot of self confidence. People will stop and stare, but take it as a compliment. They all know you look good, but just make sure you know too. Don’t let your insecurities stop you from being great!

The scoop neck can be a little bare by itself. So, accessorize your shirt with some jewelry. I purchased these two necklaces separately from H&M, and they look great with this outfit.

Suppose you recently purchased a great statement piece from your favorite retail store, and you wanted to wear it out tomorrow. After taking fifteen minutes looking around your closet, you can’t find anything to wear with it. What do you do?

Easy! Depending on the item, you should always throw a few solid colors in the mix. It’s literally your safest bet, especially if you really have a “bold” statement piece.

Take for instance my featured outfit. Sometimes,  incorporating camo into your spring wardrobe can be more difficult than it appears. Think about it! The last thing you want to do is look like a clown in the streets, seriously.

With all that being said, it’s important to develop a solid game plan that helps define the outfit beyond the statement piece. It was my intention to create a casual, yet semi-dressy outfit with my favorite camo waist coat. So, I pulled out my solid white button-up, pink knitted neck tie, skinny jeans, and leather lace-up shoes.

Since the pink, white, and camo were paired together rather nicely, the skinny jeans were added to further dress down the outfit a bit.

So, if you haven’t done so already, take my advice seriously. Make sure you go out and purchase a statement piece and create an outfit with it. When you get a chance, tell us about all your experiences below!

First off, I would like to give a shout out to TUMBLR for helping me find other fashion forward individuals like myself. Throughout the day, I spend at least two hours  re-posting and sorting through fashion related content. Sounds like an addiction, right? Needless to say, there are many hidden fashion finds on TUMBLR that you should check out.

Okay, enough of all that social media talk. Let’s get down to business. Today, I happened to discover two very stylish bloggers from Ottawa, Canada. They are actually the dopest pairing I’ve found in a while.

So, without further ado, I would like to introduce everyone to Daniele & Michel, creators of DMkontrast.

DMkontrast? What does that stand for? Well, according to their blog, the D and M represent the initials of their first name, while kontrast is defined straight from the dictionary:  1) To exhibit the unlikeness on comparison with something else; form a contrast; 2) To compare in order to show unlikeness or differences; 3) A thing or person having qualities noticeably different on another.

In terms of fashion, these two are spot on. We love Daniele’s sophisticated, chic look and Michel’s modern take on classic apparel. If you don’t believe me, just check out some of their recent blog posts.

With a great blog title, one of a kind looks, and a dope partnership, these two have a bright future ahead of themselves. We will be on the lookout for more spring looks season!
