An Understated Affair

Tee and Shorts from H&M.

Shirt from H&M. Trousers from Zara.

Excuse the foot-shot. It came about due to my yearning to convey to you the rather nifty but - evidently - subtle pattern.



Shoes from River Island

So I've finally got 'round to displaying the fruits of my bargain-hunting labour which - as you may most rightfully believe - are somewhat lacklustre. In any case, I feel somewhat that they are. However, I did approach the bygone sale season with ambition to garner some understated pieces for my - currently - shamefully bare wardrobe . This was done on the cheap, naturally, I am still a student - and an unemployed one at that. Nevertheless, the basics that I have acquired will last me for some time, I reckon, considering none of this has been sourced from the shoddy pound-shop that is Topman.

Excuse the more than shoddy photography but I'm still catching on and Ireland - as you may be aware - isn't forthcoming with the requisite bright natural light. And the excuse for my most blatant grimace? Irish weather of course.

Oh, and yes, it is all high-street. Don't shoot me.

This Week in Style

Who'd have thought starting and quitting a job was so time-consuming, infuriating and, well, taxing? Anyway, since I'm now - once again - unemployed for the Summer I find myself with an abundance of time to peruse the recently presented collections and the Men's Style latest 'This Week in Style' feature. The latter is proving amusing indeed.



Men's Style lauded Hartnett for his obvious lack of consideration for the outfit above. I, on the other hand, can't help but scold the lazy individual. He should've just stayed in his PJs. At least that would have shown some style awareness.



Will I even bother? I know he's bound - to an extent - due to the band's image but surely such sartorial puerility is not called for?

I love it. No, not the ensemble or - generally - Diddy's personal style, rather the brilliant white piping. It's just so chic for men right now and yet so few actually sport it...actually, the hideous tack dangling around his neck has just started to detract from any redemption the piping may have offered...
