Outfit: Thrifted

Earlier this season, we had an opportunity to catch up with Lawrence, aka the Vintographer, creator of “THE VINTAGE VANDALISM.”

Wait, Lawrence lives in Philadelphia? Not at all! The Vintographer stopped through the City of Brotherly Love to shoot a few projects. He actually spent the entire summer tour shooting various projects up and down the east coast.

During his time in Philadelphia, he decided to show off one of his latest summer looks.

With an outfit purchased entirely from a thrift store, Lawrence decided to step outside of his comfort zone. On a regular, you can catch the Vintographer wearing a double breasted blazer, with a button-up, and tailored dress pants. Today, he is wearing a short sleeved polo shirt, tailored dress pants, oxford shoes, and plaid printed hat, which were all purchased from thrift stores.

Thrift stores? Yes, can you believe it? Since we know Lawrence, we understand his thrifting talent. So, gentleman, take notes! If you are looking for an upscale, fashion reference this summer, feel free to utilize Lawrence.

How do you like his outfit? Feel free to share with us in the comments section below.

For the most part, everyone has one or two “Go-to” outfits in their closet. For us, we pull them out for comfort, or when we have errands to run. Whatever the case may be, who says you have to sacrifice style for comfort?

Today, our model Kris proves that simple outfits can also catch a few glances. His wool joggers are versatile in that they can be used in the casual and formal world. Kris states, “The clean wool blend meshes well with a dress shirt and tie as well as some kick around sneakers and a t shirt.”

Joggers are great a purchase because they come in so many styles, such as sweat, chino or khaki.

To accent the dark grey wool, he chose to wear an open buttoned light-blue button up. With darker colors sometimes contrasting it with a brighter color can make your outfit pop. To give his look the summertime feels he opted to wear an exaggerated tank top.

Fellas remember, don’t be afraid to show a little cleavage as well, especially if the gym has been your friend as of late. If you’re a little self-conscious, add a pocket square or necklace to take away attention from your chest. Don’t be afraid to play around with accessories.

Shoes may be the most important part of a look. If not chosen carefully, your whole look may turn out wrong. With his light weight style maroon boots and wheat laces, Kris shows off a trendy youthful look. He had this to say about his shoes, “The People’s Movement sneakers were a gem that I picked up from my company. They are an older style from “The People’s Movement,” which count as a boot and sneaker from it’s design and light weight.”

With all that being said, we love Kris’ summer look. How do you feel about his outfit? Feel free to share with us in the comments section below.

Summer is all about showing off your beautiful and smooth skin. Remember, it’s the only time of the year when you can walk around with most of your body exposed, with little to no judgement.

Why? Since it’s scorching hot outside, everyone will expose at least ninety percent of their bodies outside. We don’t have time for embarrassing sweat stains, heat strokes, and cotton mouth.

With all that being said, our girl Regina decided to dress comfortably in her summer appropriate attire. She had this to say about her look, ” This outfit is my fave when I wanna show some of my quirky personality.” 

Dressed in a tied button-up,sleeveless kimono, and high platform sandals, Regina is showing a little skin in her high waisted denim shorts. Honestly, every women should own atleast one or two pairs of denim shorts. If you don’t, make some yourself. Travel to your local thrift store, buy an old pair of jeans, and start cutting away. In a matter of ten minutes, you are ready to show off your legs in an authentic pair of shorts.

Regina agrees with us, and she had this to say about her look, “Hats and long shirts are my comfort zone, but as the rest of my ladies, we love to show some leg!” Yes, we agree Regina! Every girl loves showing a little leg, especially if you are trying to be on the scene.

In addition, Regina further accessorized her look with a wide brim fedora, glasses, watch, and a leather purse.

So, what do you think about this look?

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” -Miuccia Prada

After surviving a weekend of 4th July shenanigans, we had an opportunity to catch up with our blogger friend, Mora Adeyi or Always_mlove. When she’s not giving romantic advice on her personal blog, Anopensecret.com, she spends most her free time looking for different statement pieces for her wardrobe.

Today, Mora decided to add some personality to dress up her tank, shorts, and sandals with a sheer, floral print kimono from Forever21. With a sleeveless silhouette,  an open front, and floral print, this sheer kimono will catch the attention from the  every day street dweller. It’s definitely one of those, “Where did she get that from,” type of items.

Now, here’s what sets the kimono apart from other summer accessories, it’s ability to be worn with almost anything. From crops tops, to skinny jeans, the printed kimono adds that summer flare to your entire look.

Mora is actually in love with her kimono. She states, “I love my kimono, it’s comfortable, and can be paired with a variety of options like a miniskirt, tights, or shorts.” Sounds like Mora loves showing off a little leg.

To complete this look, Mora threw on her wide brim fedora from Forever21. According to Mora, “I love my hat because I normally don’t wear them. I think this hat is seasonally versatilte, appropriate for summer and fall. Plus, it makes a short haircut edgier.”

Ladies, if you don’t own a kimono, you are truly missing out. Go pick up yours today from Forever21. You’re most likely going to spend $20. That’s such a deal right?

Now that you have officially elevated your summer wardrobe, it’s time for you to go show off your look!

So, thanks for reading! Have fun!
