Found these pics in the archive from before my haircut and loved the look too much not to post. And what a look to post on a Friday and kick off the weekend right. It’s the perfect combo to head to dinner or grab a drink in. Style rules are meant to be broken as far as I’m concerned. That is if there are any style rules still in effect. Who follows the don’t mix brown and black? Or shoes must match your belt? Sure, there’s a time and a place when all of these rules still make the most sense aesthetically so you go with them but I don’t believe in hard and fast rules.

The days of Don’t wear white after Labor Day have long been dead (at least as far as denim is concerned–leave your linen pants in the closet for a few more months). Granted darker colors still reign when gloomier, chillier weather is involved but wearing white is perfectly acceptable when there’s still a chill in the air. That’s why looks like this are fun to put together. I love the combination with the dark maroon and brown elements that help make this a distinctly winter outfit. The perfectly fitted leather jacket combined with a simple tee keep it casual and I personally love the added lumbersexual punch of the plaid flannel scarf. Keeps me grounded in my hipster roots.

So there you go. If you’re going to break the “rules”, at least do it right.
