madmyke the fashionista…haha

I’m not one to really give much thought to how I dress but people will tend to judge you from first impression which includes that pair of rugged jeans you are donning.So,over the weekend I cleaned the wardrobe,stacked everything on the bed,sorted it, sort of like a ‘wardrobe census’.So here the sneak preview

Slacks,Shorts and Jeans

• 3 pairs of blue jeans-all dark washes with one pair  being my favorite(maybe its coz of the price I paid for it).I aint much of  jeans kinda guy which explains my deficiency of this wardrobe staple.
• Khakis-If clothes were food,khakis would be my water.I have every shade of Khakis imaginable:from black to green…..I prefer Khakis to jeans due their versatility,from the class to the club to the wedding.Add a few Khaki shorts and you are set..I especially like a particular pair I got in SA,earlier this year,with the side pockets and it happens to be a perfect fit..
• Slacks-Black only…kinda dull but it works for me….maybe I should get a couple of pinstripes

Tops

• Shirts-If its striped,comfortable and I look good in it,I’ll probably buy it.11 striped shirts in all manner of shades,1 white,1 checked and a sky blue Manhattan..I don’t like cuff-links,I only own like 2 pairs worn once in the past two years.I prefer long-sleeves to short sleeves,even when its too hot you just fold the sleeves twice and you are set..
• Polos-Like Khakis they are another staple….mostly in bright colours..
• Tees-Most of them are plain and dull,to be worn with shirts since I hate vests,they look more like men bras…
• Jackets-3 of them which cost  an arm and a leg…The black corduroy,the jungle green Khaki and the obviously a brown leather one which was a gift from my mum…I have lost these jackets a couple of times but I always get them back then there is the issue of giving it to her when you are out on the town and she assumes its hers for keeps..
• Sweaters-Black and grey(both cashmere),2 stripped,A diamond 80s inspired and a grey half-sweater

Shoes

• This is more like my element-When it comes to shoes they have to pass the stylish ,price and comfortability test..
• Black Leather Hush puppies-Most comfortable pair of leather shoes I’ve ever bought,the inner padding makes walking in the fun a whole lot of fun..
• Loafers-3 pairs…all brown, , ,2 from Bata and the third being a pair which ranks as  my favourite shoe.They have the straps on top which makes them adjustable on hot afternoonons
• Scandals-My sis bought for me those flip-flops at Maasai market a few months back.ideal for a lazy Saturday at home,best worn with shorts
• Boots-Good old reliable Timberland boots…rarely worn but they serve their purpose..
• Canvas slip ons-Plain black..Again best worn with khaki shorts

Accessories

• Apart from 2-3 scarves and an african inspired chain,accessories are nonexistent in my world.No watch,no manbags, no ties,no fancy chain….

Its a small wardrobe but it serves its purpose?Whats in you wardrobe
