BlueCollarPrep | Versatile Menswear Style Blog BlueCollarPrep | Versatile Menswear Style BlogBeen on the hunt for an army green spring jacket and scored this one on sale for about $40 at Gap. I was actually happy it was a little chillier last weekend so I was able to wear it. I also scored 2 dope sweaters on sale at H&M. Really feelin’ the thick cable knit and rips on this one! I feel like these classic Adidas can easily give any outfit that street style look that I like. Happy I got to rock these new pick-ups before next year – but anxious for this warmer weather to finally stick around!

SPRING KICKS + CUFFED CAMO

Spring Kicks & Cuffed Camo

Spring Kicks & Cuffed Camo Spring Kicks & Cuffed Camo Vans Sneakers

Had these camo pants for a few years and haven’t worn them in a while due to the wide leg at the bottom – that I am no longer a fan of! Thanks to the “Pants Doctor” at www.thelooksmith.com, I got the idea to give them a little face lift so I could rock them again. I took about an inch off the bottom, and finished them off with an old-school tight roll, to give them that jogger-type look that I like! I’ll definitely be going through some of my other older jeans to see if I can salvage a few others that I no longer like. Brilliant idea! The first sunny, dry day I got finally allowed me to give my new canvas white VANS a run – these guys only come out in clean, dry weather lol I found this Feathers brand sweatshirt on the sale rack at Urban Outfitters…definitely a dope find! I tried finding it online for those who were asking where I got it but no luck. Similar pieces below!

GYM DAY

We’re always looking for fun, new things to do with my boy. He’s your typical boy who likes climbing, jumping and just being a maniac. Did some Googling and came across this place we’ve never heard of in CT. Compared it to a few others in the area and this one seemed to have the most activities, so we headed to The Children’s Movement Center in New Milford, CT. It was one of the bigger gyms we had taken him to. Inside it had 2 sections: one for little kids and one for older kids. We didn’t explore the older section but it had really cool activities like a climbing wall, large trampoline, zip-line and a surf machine. The younger kids section had a ball pit, bouncy house, trampoline, some creative swings and a McDonalds styles obstacle course. Nathan was so excited he didn’t even know where to start. The large obstacle course had a little bit of everything – ramps, steps, rope bridges, large yoga bouncy balls and 2 large slides. His favorite thing, though the least active, was the ball pit. This ball pit had a ball cleaning machine that they used at night, 3 days a week to clean and sanitize all of the balls. When playing in the pit, the kids are able to put the balls in this hole that shot the balls back out and then dropped back in the pit. This seemed to be Nate’s favorite thing to do…the process of cleaning the balls lol. Nathan gets so excited every time he sees a bouncy house – we both got our bounce on. He makes jumping and landing on his butt look so easy and painless – not so much for me anymore! We’ll definitely be going back to The Children’s Movement Center. We all had a blast – and it was only $10 for just Nate – even though mommy and daddy got to play too. Maybe next time he’ll give the swings another shot and spend some more time on the trampoline. Since it was a gym day I kept it casual. Got these new jogger sweats from Urban Outfitters – joggers are really the only sweats I like wearing at the moment. Layered my new UO Zanerobe short-sleeve hoodie over an extra long H&M long-sleeve tee for that casual streetstyle look. Thought these retro looking Adidas sneakers fit with this casual street style well. Topped the look off with a Carhartt beanie. Love these – my son’s got the same one!
