<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The Hawthorne District in Portland is one of my favorite spots to have a day of exploration or even serve as a spot to catch up with a friend. With it's many local coffee joints and vintage inspired eateries, it's the perfect avenue for "artsy" individuals like myself. And what better way to enjoy Hawthorne then to snap a few shots for a lookbook, am I right? The inspiration for my outfit was "London Punk", with a refined element to it. I stuck with simple tones of Maroon and Burgundy and balanced it out with black skinnies and nice pair of chunky creepers. I centered different pieces around my drop-shoulder burgundy speckled coat which was the focus of my outfit (the coat screams 80's London Punk).

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I'm very sorry for the inconsistency with the posting guys! You could say that I've had a lot on my plate ever since the end of summer which resulted in me not having time for anything; including time for myself. I've decided to upload this outfit just for the sake of not posting. And I believe this outfit was from around mid August also? </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I have to admit that I was still pretty obsessed with the whole sporty/jersey trend around this period of time and that was pretty much all I wore which was all bad admittedly. This outfit basically just focused on an all black concept but I decided to break it up with the ocean print button-down shirt to give the outfit some dimension.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> And I'll also try my best to post more consistently from now on. Well, at least twice a month would be my goal at this point. My next post will either be another outfit or a review on a recent pair of boots I've purchased so stay tuned y'all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The inspiration for this outfit of mine was a combination between the ongoing sporty trend Alexander Wang has set as well as the islander/resort-wear look. I couldn't decide on just wearing one look so why not combine the two? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Because the tropical print shorts were black and white; it made mixing these two pieces much easier and projected a more refined look while mixing two different styles. I kept the entire look polished by just working with two colors and played around with different black and white pieces rather than a piece with just a solid color.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sorry about not posting as much lately guys! I've been quite busy ever since I got a job at H&M as a Part-Time Sales Adviser and it's literally been lots of paperwork signing and reading/learning the H&M system to the point where it fills up a very large amount of my time. However, I am back at least right? So as a gift for you guys, here's an outfit post. Before I forget to mention this, I'll be posting a piece on the Clubmaster frame glasses/sunglasses soon so stay tuned for that!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> H&M has always been one of my favorite retailers and to be able to work there would be such a great opportunity for myself. I was lucky enough to snatch up an interview today with the Department Manager and although I was stoked for the interview, I was anticipating my outfit much more. This outfit I've created is ideally for an upscale retailer such as H&M, Topman or Zara. When it comes to an interview at a retailer such as H&M, many of the gentlemen will tend to gear towards a really basic three-piece suit; which may make you appear bland to the interviewer. It is important to showcase your own personal style and creativity when putting together an outfit for such an interview; do not ever put yourself in a mold but instead break it and interpret things in your own way. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Mix up a basic button-down shirt with something that bears a subtle print such as the white Aztec print piece I've shown above. Us guys have to admit that traditional trouser pants can give quite the wedgie and also aren't the most comfortable pair of pants to be in either. Instead, switch it up with a comfortable slim-fitting pair of colored pants that contrast with your button-down. And of course, refine your look with a simple linen blazer which is a summer must-have outerwear piece. The linen material gives a lighter feel to the typically heavy feeling blazer which is why it is a must have piece to any man's wardrobe for this Spring/Summer season. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> I kept the accessorizing to a minimal and used simple pieces such as the two-layer triangle pendant and tiger ring to add a personal flair. Stay dapper and always wear a watch also; it's a gentlemen's code. Another important note to consider is to smell good! Believe it or not, the way you smell does affect the interviewer's perception. Wear a sophisticated masculine scent that isn't overwhelming such as Dolce & Gabbana's "The One" which carries base notes of ambergris, tobacco and cedar wood.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Remember that upscale retailers are heavily fashion forward and while as classic as a three-piece suit may be, such places want to see individuality and your own personal fashion sense. Dress casually, funky, rocker or whatever you may prefer but be sure to add a level of refinement to it as well. Fashion is about innovation and breaking molds, so showcase that during your interview with your own "casual-formal attire."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The newest pair to my shoes collection has finally arrived in the mail today, and of course it's from Topman. I'm extremely pleased to have been able to snatch these Gibson style shoes for only $40.00 through Topman's 1/2 Off Sale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> These are a great pair of neutral summer shoes to pair up with any casual outfit such as a bright colored tank top and a pair of white shorts or even for a dressier occasional because of how pointy the shoes are. Plus, the chocolate brown leather contrast on the shoes already amps it up from a casual shoe to a more versatile shoe. These shoes are a summertime essential whilst being a classic shoe with endless pairings so I recommend all the gentlemen go out and grab a pair.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I've decided to start off the initiation of my blog with the post of a recent outfit of mine. However, before I get started I just wanted to welcome any viewers to my blog. My blog page will be heavily based on all things relating to the world of fashion. This page will consist a lot of my own personal outfits along with my own reviews/opinions on certain fashion collections/trends/icons, and etc. I will of course post things about my own life also including current music I'm enjoying and even my favorite places to dine at. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Anyways, back to my outfit. Since I do reside in Oregon, I receive a fair share of cold throughout all four seasons and today was one of them. I went for a casual yet put together look; I didn't want to look either overdressed or too casual for a lunch date with a friend of mine.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I stuck with neutral colors but added a slight pop with a darker cobalt blue button-down to break off the more darker tones in my pants and shoes. I have to mention my current obsession with that messenger bag I have on also; that bag literally carries all of my necessities! And the best part about this bag was that I was able to thrift this bag for only $18.50 and it's Eddie Baurer too. Quite a steal I'd have to say, for such a versatile messenger bag at that.</span></div>
