How I Became A Pimp

Me

It all started one day when my dad innocently put one of his pimp hats on my head.  That girl didn’t stand a chance of being the same person again ever since.

My walk changed, my strut changed, my attitude changed, my fashion sense changed.  Now you know!  It runs in the family.

Move back and give me room, people!  THERE’S NO STOPPING ME NOW!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find pictures of yourself as a young-un and see if you still have the same fashion sense now that you had then.  See if there was a specific moment in time that made you the person you are today.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Never underestimate the power that just one accessory can have on transforming who you become in life.

While out enjoying the World Cup games, there was no mistaking who this guy was cheering on.  I’m going to say the clothing speaks for itself.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, take a risk and wrap your country all around you from head to toe while out watching the games—or just because that’s how you want to dress every day.  Should be fun times for you.

I really like the styling of the belt here on this smartly dressed man.  The purple tie adds a bit of color and goes well with the whole ensemble.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find new ways to dress up a pair of casual jeans and give your look somewhat of an edge.

This guy was totally prepared to be a fashion show spectator.  The funkiness of the jacket is what caught my eye.  He actually made this jacket himself.  So it’s no surprise that he got accepted into Central Saint Martins in London this coming fall!  Some of the most famous designers hail from CSM.  Kudos to him!

So, if you have nothing else to do today, make your own clothes, wear a bow tie, or give some brightly colored pants a whirl around the block.

A color combination of blue and green a lot of people may not have tried, but it worked for this guy.  He totally had the look for it.  The plaid shirt stood out and the rugged brown shoes set it off.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, get creative with a plaid print in a fun color on the top or the bottom.

How funky can you get at a fashion show?  Bold?  Risky?  Awww, yeah, no one can say he’s not a risk-taker with his style.  I love to see something new and different on the humans.  Why should we all look alike all the time?

So, if you have nothing else to do today, work some blues and florals into your life.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Be bold and risky with your style every now and again and do something new and different that’s all your own.
