Vintage Vibes in Wrangler

Posted on May 31, 2017

I’m always on the hunt to find new denim looks and pieces. So, when I got the chance to style some of the pieces from the Wrangler 70th Anniversary Release, I was thrilled! Wrangler has been around since 1947 and a lot of their pieces have such great vintage vibes. I went with their Retro Jacket, their Kabel Tee in Jester Red, and a pair of their Spencer Jeans in Light Pop. As soon as I saw the pieces and put them on I felt like I should’ve been apart of one of my favorite movies – Dazed and Confused. Owning so many denim jackets, it was nice to find one that stands out from the others. I love the rivet studded pleats and the indigo color. I have so much denim that is distressed, it’s nice when you get your hands on a classic and clean wash. The Spencer jean has a great light color and comfortable fit due to the subtle stretch in the material. I gave my pair a classic “tight-role” to really play up the vintage look. You can never have too many vintage tees in the wardrobe. The Kabel Logo Ringer Tee has that iconic Wrangler logo across the front, and these signature tees are exactly what comes to mind when I think of Wrangler. You can wear them with just a pair of jeans or even a suit and it will immediately make any outfit cooler. I went with red (because my wife likes me in red) but I honestly think any of these tees would’ve worked with the outfit. With such classic pieces, you can literally pick any top and any bottom from their collection and it will just work – no thought needed! lol Wrangler really knocked it out of the park with their Anniversary Release and I really dig all the vintage vibes!

G.H. BASS MAINE TRIP (LOOK 4)

Posted on July 26, 2016

We really took full advantage of Vinalhaven’s landscape and explored the coast as much as we could. I can’t even count how many rocks Nate and I must’ve skipped and tossed into the Ocean. There was a beautiful blend of rocky ocean side and greens from the trees accented with all the fishing boats in the background and beautiful colored buoy’s both in and out of the water. It was great to have my wife capture these moments with Nate. We had no cellphone service on the island, so it was nice to disconnect and not have the distractions of everyday life. Just being able to hold Nate in between my legs and play eye-spy and chuck rocks into the water really makes you appreciate the little things. Onto the outfit 🙂 Is there such thing as too much denim? I think I put that question to the test! (LOL) I wore my favorite Polo Ralph Lauren denim shirt with a clean and simple denim jacket from H&M, ripped jeans from ZARA and my Ranger Moc G.H. Bass shoes. The Ranger Moc shoe in Dark Brown from G.H. Bass is rugged enough to take anywhere but has the style of a shoe. I really like how versatile they can be. Their sole gives them a rugged look, and their low-top silhouette allows them to go with any look. I think this shoe is a great alternative to wearing a boot. Being a blue collar worker like myself, I can see these shoes going from office to the construction site with ease. I rolled up the bottom of my jeans to show my navy blue American Apparel socks to give the look a touch of preppy. To add a pop of color to my full-on denim look I also wore a red handkerchief around my neck. I really dig the handkerchief as an accessory to give it that Americana style. I topped off my outfit with a fitted beanie cap, slightly pulled back off the hair-line, well because, my wife thinks it looks sexy that way :p. I thought my look was perfect for the surroundings and scenery – I kinda dig that sailor-type style!

Denim’d Out

Posted on March 25, 2015

By now if you’ve been following me on Instagram you know I have a love for denim. I love pairing denim with denim. The more denim I could wear the better lol I’ve had this Orvis jacket for about 5 years and it was actually a hand-me-down…I just started wearing it again and love it! Don’t be so quick to say no to hand-me-downs. Most of my jeans are GAP. They seem to fit me well and you can get them for a reasonable price without breaking the bank since they’re always doing promotions. This outfit was from a few weeks back but I’m finally getting up to keeping the blog current. Don’t be scared to layer up to give those basic pieces a bit of edge!

ARMY GREEN + DENIM

Posted on October 29, 2014

Headed back to Brooklyn this weekend for a kids birthday party that Nate was invited to. It was good to be back in Brooklyn – been a while since I’ve been there. Unfortunately we didn’t have as much time as we hoped for since Nate wasn’t feeling good in the morning. But, even the ride down passing the flea markets and food trucks was nostalgic for me and made me want to come back and enjoy those things again. The party was in Prospect Park…felt like we were in a mini Central Park. It was a beautiful day and I was able to run around with my son, climb trees, and race, all while drinking boxed wine and eating cheese. Lately it seems like every time I leave the house I’m wearing my Eastland boots. Looking forward to pulling the trigger on a pair of Red Wings in the next few weeks to change it up. Wore my Levi jeans and cuffed them up to show more of these dope boots. The green army style jacket is another piece I’ve had and havent worn in a while. My wife used to hate this jacket and she’s actually the one who suggested it. I paired it with my H&M short sleeve denim button down, which seems to look good with everything. I love mixing together the different denims. After the park we did have some time to walk around the neighborhood. We didn’t find the boutiques & vintage shops we were hoping for but still got to do some shopping.
