Friday Fashion Blogging

I have been mulling over where and when to start my Fashion blogging. After my vaca in San Diego I am in the mood to start sharing what's happening and what looks are inspiring to me. So why not Friday? Makes sense, right? Everyone is getting ready for the weekend. Time to get out and rock some new digs. I used to work at a retailer near Capital Hill, the uniform is simple; power ties, basic shirts, and power suits. That is it and a detriment to fashion. Hopefully this will give me a chance to maybe call out the perpetrators ex. Chuck Grassley's red vest and give insight to the stuff you can rock. Hopefully I will be able to do this on the regular.

First installment Friday Fashion Blogging:

A navy cardigan is essential and I consider it a basic. It can be done with many variations, my favorite; is the cardigan, add in a shirt with some pop like this one from J. Crew or a classic solid tee from American Apparel and a nice pair of straight leg denim. (can wear this in fall too with a different color scheme and a cashmere cardigan) Followed by the shoes.

Been eying these Sperry Boots for some time $125 at J. Crew, but I also go with Red Wing Boots or

Chucks by Jack Purcell or basic Chucks would complete the look too.

In San Diego, the lady and I had dinner outside that welcomed us with a pleasant ocean breeze. It was weather we won't be having in Chicago anytime soon, however when we do finally get it, this is my look of choice. Navy blazer, fitted shirt, classic color tie and denim. One thing I am still not convinced is a good look for me is the rolling of the jeans. I get the no socks with cordovan and wing tips (do it often in the summer), but rolling of the jeans? To each his own on that one. If you can rock it more power to ya!

This May I will be attending Paddy K's sister's wedding. It will be in Virginia, so I am considering purchasing a long sought after khaki suit. What better place than Virginia to rock this suit? I would add a tie bar to this and sub out the tie with a knit one. But it says cool, comfort, clean and classic and that you can dance...okay maybe not the dance part, but you know what I am getting at.

One last thing I always try to personalize these looks. I am a DC punk kid at heart hence my affinity for Chucks. I normally wear a leather band, sometimes twisted, if it is a nice outing a chunky watch and always a streamlined belt with a solid buckle, you know make it your own...unless of course that means the "tuck untuck."

That's it for this Friday, next Friday who knows what will catch my eye. Now if only Congress would have 1 person who gets this...

Teh Funny Writes Itself

Not only is Obama teh devil and hates teh Jeebus , but also too and what have you, he is pushing the most aggressive liberal policies ever and destroying the country . ON TOP OF THAT, he is guilty of being completely incapable of performing his basic duties as president, a "new-hire college graduate" and surrounded by lazies . It has become increasingly difficult to write satire these days. I can't tell if the right-wing in America is attempting to out crazy comedians in order to render the jokes useless or the scarier and more likely; they have lost their minds and now fully embrace it.

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

It's Thursday that means we have a new American Idol and it's... it's Kris Allen? Guess America still hates the "flamboyant", I smell a Clay Aiken retread. I didn't watch much of this year because it really came down to Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert for me and once I heard Kris Allen was in the final it was over in my mind. America votes for the "more likable" guy . But you know what was cool? Adam Lambert singing Queen! You could see the guitar legend Brian May drooling over the Freddy Mercury-esque vocal runs. It was rocktastic. Regardless both will have decent careers and the pie on the face of my local paper for running story after story of Adam is rather funny. Both guys have promising careers, there is always room for another Jason Mraz and America needs a Freddy Mercury . Wow. Did I really just dedicate that much analysis to American Idol? Here are your highlights: Bomb plot thwarted in New York , can't have terrorists in our prisons, sen...

Sarah Palin Mistakes Stimulus as Erectile Dysfunction Pill

moar funny pictures In Alaska politics are taking precedent as people are upset with Governor Sarah Palin’s rejection of her state’s share of the stimulus money. Palin said she wanted nothing to do with the stimulus package and found it to be of no use to Alaska. “ Look at our boys here ! My daughter was gosh golly gee knocked up by a young man. We don’t need stimulus packages, as long as they got a hockey jersey we got baby makers!” It has taken nearly a week for aides to Governor Palin to explain that the stimulus package is not a new form of Viagra, but she refuses to retain the information of terrorists. A confident leader Palin is excited to support American values and take care of Alaska . “Anybody wants to go wolf-huntin’ from a helicopter?” she said inciting a riot of a local moose appreciation club. It is unclear whether Palin will eventually accept the stimulus funds when she discovers what they actual represent for her state. Time will only tell. I am Frank Chow and I appro...
