Graffiti is not just for the streets of New York City anymore; it is now more than appropriate (even trendy) to spray paint, dye, air brush, bleach and even Sharpie your clothing. You may be thinking, “Why would I want to draw all over my clothing?”. But graffitiing your pieces can be a very cool and fun way to personalize some of your favorite wardrobe items and give them new life. Don’t we all want something that is truly one of a kind? And if you’re too nervous (or artistically challenged) and do not want to do the drawing yourself, here are some pieces that are already “pre-painted”:

I was doing some shopping for a friend the other day when I came across a few pieces from Neil Barrett. I (somewhat shamefully) had never heard of the designer before, but I instantly fell in love. The line that I saw does not utilize any color (only black, white and various grays), but that certainly does not mean it lacks in impact. I love all the different prints and textures, and really enjoy the geometric shapes and clean lines. Neil Barrett is definitely a great men’s line to check out! You can shop these featured pieces here!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: OVERALLS

I wanted to do another throwback post. This time, I’m showcasing my love of overalls or dungarees. I know that overalls can be really hard to wear sometimes, but I think that they are definitely a wardrobe piece worth the time and effort to find. The real challenge is getting a pair that fits your frame well. I really love the pair featured here because of the distressed areas and the leather straps. These overalls are from One Teaspoon.
