Tara Colleen: 7 diamonds

I cannot believe we are already at the midway point of this men's series!! I hope you have been enjoying it as much as I have. seeing as i'm surrounded by boys, I prefer styling them over the ladies. (and they don't know any better, so they tend to do as they're told) isn't that the truth about the male species?? they like to think they rule the world, but at the end of the day, there is always a woman in the corner, calling all the shots!

for this look, I actually did take Kurt's opinions into account. this was his favorite shirt from all the items I pulled, and i would have to agree, it is a beautiful shirt. I love the color-blocking and attention to detail and the light aqua is the perfect summer shade. the rest of this outfit, is all his own. levis are a classic in any wardrobe, and a staple for kurt's everyday. the lace-up loafers were a perfect pairing with their subdued gray leather. and no sunnies were needed, instead, we opted to show off those baby blues and massive mane.

im so thrilled you all enjoyed last weeks post, so today I give you the 2nd installment of MCM!! (you're welcome!)

plaid is a staple for both men and women alike, and can be styled up or down, depending on your mood. I think its fresh to see man in a plaid shirt, buttoned all the way to the top with a pair of suspenders and maybe a bowtie to really snazz it up, but for todays look, we kept it super casz. this shirt is super cool with its tribal print pocket and a pop of the cuff reveals the same fun print!! seeing as july 4th is days away, the red and blue is uber patriotic and could totally be dressed even further down with a pair of chino shorts for fireworks and fourth fun!!

kurt's lions mane inspired me to take this look a bit more lumberjack chic, so I paired this plaid with distressed denim and a rolled cuff. topped it off with gold aviators and cognac lace up loafers, this is an effortless, everyday look for the everyman!!
