I’m sure we go on tangents-for-days about our collective love affair w/ all things menswear. And if you’re new around these parts, then you might not know just how much of a tangent I mean.
Over the years, my style has progressively become more in-tune with and inspired by menswear & because of that, I’ve learned what pieces seamlessly fit into my wardrobe that breed maximum ease with minimal effort.
Be it suiting, sweaters, bottoms or button-ups, shopping in the men’s section is a skill I’ve fine-tuned & finally feel like I’ve become fairly good at. — This pinstripe suit is case-in-point.
On one of my many thrifting excursions, I came across this suit & instantly knew it’d be mine. It was in great condition, didnt have that nauseating “thrift store” smell & cost a whopping $15 flat.
As soon I got it home, I opted to crop the blazer as it was a bit too oversized for the look I was going for & looking back on it, I have not a single regret.

If you’re anything like me appreciate a good menswear moment but don’t want to break-the-bank, I implore to hit up the men’s section at your local thrift store. Yes it take a bit of time, patience & elbow grease to sift through the unadulterated clutter, but the gems are priceless & this suit was well worth it.

sheer + leather

To know me is to know I’m not much of an all-black wearer & though it’s important to have certain pieces in black: the LBD, a black blazer, the perfect black bag, etc, black isn’t necessarily a go-to hue for me.
However, when I scored this sheer Tibi skirt on major sale, I couldn’t help but create this all-black moment. — For me, the key was to create a look that showcased multiple textural elements, I.E., sheer, leather & metallic, that in the end, broke-up the usual monotony of an all-black outfit & I must admit, I’m very much so into it.
