Christmas Challenge!

Hey everybody! I thought I would throw out a simple challenge for my readers. It is very easy, nothing that is going to strain you mentally or physically...I want you all to go out of your way to create an awe inspiring outfit; throw on a tie that grabs everyone's attention, a watch that cannot be ignored, or a suit/sportcoat that blows everyone away.

I'm sure you're already going to dress up for a Christmas Eve party, Midnight Mass, Christmas Day, whatever the occasion may be the next couple of days. So why not put in that little bit of effort to make it all pop and stand out from the crowd. I challenge you to be different and I challenge you to make a statement this Christmas because compliments are just as good as presents!

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope everyone enjoys time with family and friends and receives everything they 'be asked for.

Christmas Party Outfit

Nothing beats a nice plaid sportcoat for a holiday party. It says you dressed up, but it's not that serious...so where is the alcohol!

This outfit brought to you by:

Shoes by @colehaan

Enjoy the early festivities!

Dress it up please!

I was helping a customer today who reminisced about the days when men would wear suits around casually and women would be clad in dresses and heels because no reason other than to look good. Nowadays, you don't get to see that; you see a population of underdressed, almost lazy individuals that almost give off the vibe of "I could care less what impression I'm making".

Not only can I mention the adage "you never know who you're going to meet" but I can also bring up that "presentation is everything". Not that casual isn't ok and not that you have to conform to some socially acceptable standard of dressed up, but atleast put some effort into looking half decent on a day-to-day basis because you really never know who you're gonna meet (future girlfriend, employer, name that important person) and you're leaving an impression with them that will last in their memory forever.

I like looking my best every time I walk out the door, dressy or casual, and I encourage you to do the same because the only thing I like more than myself looking good is having everyone else look just as good around me.

Check in tomorrow for a Chirstmas Eve challenge!
