Everyday watch, everyday hair, and Desert Boot season

So I decided to put up what I wore today, despite not having a complete pic of my outfit (but it is similar to my outfit fit from the first party bus, white button down and jeans)

Although I am excited for Boat Shoe Season, for those who danger it's also Desert Boot season, and that's something to get tingly about too.

I have a number of desert boots, but if this is your first time around the block, go with Clark's (the Original) like I did today
Now I decided to rock a solid cuff on my jeans, just because it's spring, it's finals, and I'm the only guy who is not going to be in sweatpants around BU, I though I would draw attention to myself.

Alright next up, my watch. I have maybe 5 because I like a variety and they don't bury you with your money so I continue to buy things I technically don't need. I love watches. A good picture of a watch is like porn, only to read on and find that a lot like Marisa Miller I can't afford the $xx,xxx price tag to have it in my life. So I started disecting what makes a watch look good. I found this nameless piece in NH and wear it more than my $300 and up watches.


This watch is clean, leather strap is key, strong bezel and even has a little weight to it which surprised me.

The last bit is something I have been fighting with for awhile. So I spike/flop my hair into some kind of BS fauxhawk, that I think looks decent. Now I don't suggest copying my hairstyle, but odds are you need some kind of paste/pomade/gel to get your hair to look the way you want.

I had been using CREW FIBER for awhile, but I prefer to do my hair every day and at $20 for 2oz, it was starting to cut into my shoe fund, which is unacceptable. I tried Garnier, Axe, Big Sexy Hair (also pricey) and finally came across THIS:

Suave Styling Paste | $3 (target)
Three dollars...When I saw the price tag I thought for sure it had to be a lie, or a terrible product. But I owed it to every guy out there who buys different kinds of gels every week and stays frustrated. This stuff is great, it might be as much as $4.50 at a CVS or Walgreens, but I would have gladly paid $10 for this. You need very little, and at sub-$5 you can look better everyday.

While writing this I cuffed my jeans above my ankles, just to try it out. We Danger.

Swag the fuck on people, happy warm weather days
