i wore this out on friday to Marais to get my Balenciaga bag and i was questioned by lerrin (the salesperson who is some sort our friend) "are you heading anywhere?" i was like crap am i too overdressed for casual streetwear? and before i could justify myself she said, "i like the fact that you are dressing up not for a reason but just because you feel like it.. i love it how people dress up not for an occasion but just to walk around the streets and hang out"

i think dressing up should not be for an occasion but to suit your mood or likings. i mean dressing up for an occasion just spells that you are not dressing up for yourself but for something else. i think that's the problem with so many people. we should not be afraid of what society thinks or social norms and be yourself! conforming is the stupidest thing to do as it is going against your will. just be yourself and wear whatever you feel like despite the weather/occasion.

and i hate it how everyone associates branded stuff = the best stuff? like dood i've seen people buying ridiculous Burberry print sneakers that looks like this and they are just beyond ugly! are you buying it for the brand or for the design? like not all branded stuff equates to nice stuff? i am seriously appalled by such people. i bet i can find a 10 dollars sneakers that pwns that hideous shit hands down. i really admire those people who manage to find thrift/secondhand stuff and pull them off so well. i have seen someone on lookbook that found a vintage Dior suit (back then there was only CD) for FIVE buckaroos. FIVE BUCKS. for a suit it's already cheap but even better, Christian Dior suit. how amazing! it's pinstripe and he looks really good in it! i love it how some people can pull off a pinstripe soon so well! i also admire people who are rich but yet not drown themselves in branded stuff. a mix is always good. especially when it comes to accessories. you'd be surprised how some accessories that looks gorgeous and they are unlabeled. it's amazing how these people mix and match.

anyway for my look, yes i was excited to wear my new bowtie and there you go! what goes better with an oversized bowtie other than a tuxedo blazer! :D i decided to go simple since the texture and size of the bowtie is more intricate. so there you have it :)

peace out guys =)
