Happy Place Sweat Jacket

Nice sweat jacket:

In My Happy Place

With some yellow and pink sunflowers underneath and on the arms. 

I'm feeling happy just looking at it!  ;-)

Skull Bags

Handbags in the shape of human skulls. 

Is that your dead sexy best?

When Branding is the Bomb

Putting your company name or logo on a grenade. 

Does that make you the bomb?

I guess it could mean that you're exploding with energy, creativity, quality, coolness, market share, revenue, profits, or more. 

Maybe it's a warning to your competitors to stay clear or they will suffer the explosive consequences.

Another reading is that your company is in trouble and is about explode, fragment, and leave a trail of dead bodies in its wake. 

If you love your brand, instead of a T-shirt with their logo next time, maybe you'll consider splurging for their very own branded grenade.

You can display it, throw it, or sit on it and hope for the best the brand has to offer. ;-)

Way To Go Girl Power

Powerpuff Girls.

That's messaging girl power! 

And women empowerment, as it should be. ;-)

Japanese Umbrella

Waiting on line with a Japanese Umbrella. 

Anime boy and girl with big eyes

Rain on one side, and sunny on the other. 

Big sunshine in the middle and flowers all around.

Definitely another standout!  ;-)

Eye Earrings

Like these big blue eyes in the heart-shaped earrings. 

The eyes even have these cool eyelashes! 

We got the eyes (I's) and the heart (love)—where's the you?

Maybe we give the earrings to "you" and then it's I love you!  ;-)

Hat of Hats

Wow, that's a smart hat.

It's not one hat but 10 different hats on the rim of one.

Now that will go with every outfit! ;-)

Awesome Designer Jeans

Love these jeans by Philipp Plein.

I eagle, lion, and pseudo military patches. 

The paint: red, white, blue, and yellow. 

Standout Pants, probably great with a leather bomber jacket.  ;-)

Being A Gentleman

 

Wow, what a cool book by Brooks Brothers:

How To Be A Gentleman

Now sure how many people even think in those nostalgic terms of ladies and gentlemen anymore, but it seems like it would have some good tips.

Dress (speak and act) for success!

I'm not sure about all the prim and proper stuff, but being a mensch is certainly key to it all.  ;-)

Tie Dye Crocs

Thought these Tie Dye Crocs (center) were standout!

The swirl pattern and rainbow colors is pretty awesome. 

Footwear design that lights up your life!  ;-)

Lawyer or Liar

Funny shirt this guy chooses to wear:

Trust me I'm a lawyer.

My dad used to joke:

Not a lawyer, a liar! 

I think he was referring to the ones who knowingly and dishonestly defend guilty violent criminals. 

But like with all people, some people are good and some are not so good.  ;-)

Beautiful Japanese Print

Thought this was a really beautiful Japanese print of this woman in a flowered blue kimono. 

Her pink eyeshadow and lipstick as well as the red dangles in her hair really standout. 

She looks mysterious and at the same time familiar. 

Asia brought to the U.S. and it's intriguing to say the least. ;-)

Hangers: Who Knew

Who knew that hangers come in round (and not only triangle shape)?

You really do learn something new every day!

I guess one size really doesn't fit all.

Sh*t, I hope my clothes don't fall off these hangers.  ;-)

Hangers: Who Knew

The Centerpiece

Nice store display. 

The centerpiece carries the weight here. 

Beautiful colors and design. 

Draws the shoppers into the store to buy, buy, buy. 

She rises above the others and stands out among the crowd.

Even if she's just a mannequin, she's doing a great job!  ;-)

The Centerpiece

Comfy Legs

Those legs look comfy in the chair. 

Cross, uncross, cross. 

Of course, the dress pants and shoes aren't so comfortable. 

Do clothes really make the wo/man?

Here, there's no real clothes or should I say person to speak of. 

Clothes is better than a fig leaf for Adam and Eve.

Much of clothing is just "look your best" and try to "feel good" vanity.

The soul is what really makes the person.  ;-)

Her Name Is Coco

Her name is Coco. 

And her standup hair says it (sideways).  

The blue stars over her eye lashes are pretty cool too. 

When she opens her eyes, she comes to life. 

Do you want to meet her?

A robot, mannequin, virtual reality or perhaps the future of humanity. ;-)

Dress To Express

What a cool cartoon dress!

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone where something like this before. 

But I'd like to!

It seems colorful, bold, and exciting. 

The awesome cartoon makes it youthful and alive.

We need to be more expressive, unique, and alive.

There is only one life to live, and it passes too quickly. ;-)

Vibrant Fashion Colors

Wow, what a vibrant fashion display of color at Macy's!

This is bold. 

This is fun.

This is exciting. 

This is alive. 

We're coming from the Covid dead back to the pre-pandemic life!  

Take out your stimulus checks and get ready to spend. 

There is still hope for humankind.  ;-)

Fashion Masks

Fashion Masks.

For the end of the world. 

If not Covid then for the next big one! 

You want to look you best when the world is destructing. 

Always look your best!  ;-)

Better Covid Mask

Now that's a better Covid mask.

Full coverage. 

Nice golden shine. 

No need to brush your hair or put on makeup. 

And no one can tell your sleeping in meetings. ;-)
