Torn In Between Two Worlds

So emerging into the realm of adulthood has been an experience for me. I love fashion, maybe not fashion on the level of someone like Kanye, but I definitely love getting fresh within my means. I have never been one to believe into going into debt or asking someone else for money to get a new polo shirt or some Jordans. Anyhow, ever since I have started working and attending more mature venues, I don’t tend to wear the same stuff that I used to. I have become a lot more fond of things like boat shoes, and “casual” sneaker lines like Cole Haan and Clae more than the Jordans and Foamposites (sneaker heads will know what I mean). However, when a crazy looking pair of sneakers comes out, something in me feels like I must have them. I damn near camped out for what I consider the best new sneaker of 09, but I didnt. One because, I don’t ever win raffles, which was the only way to obtain these shoes in my area, and two I am reaching a point where I am coming to the realization that I am growing up. However, I still believe that hot sneakers can be dressed up and made to look mature depending on the outfit, it all comes down to how well you can elevate the essence.

One thing I love about a boutique in DC called Commonwealth is that they cater to people in my delima. The owners of Commonwealth, realizing that there are individuals out there like me developed another store called For the Greater Good. I am only talking about this because I think that this is a great, innovative idea. The owners of Commonwealth, realizing that everyone grows up, developed a sister store that caters to the adult that was heavy in to a certain type of fashion but is growing more mature. Even though I say all this, don’t get it twisted, sometimes I fall back in my old ways and will cop a pair of dope sneakers, but small relapses like this are okay in moderation, plus they help you maintain your essence (If sneakers are apart of YOUR essence).

What good is a post about fashion without some good pics.

The type of stuff I am growing to appreciate these days…Rouge Gallery Deck Shoes

Almost everyone has some vice that they used to take part in before they entered corporate servitude. More often than not these vices, begin to take a back seat to more “important” things, once we begin our corporate lives. One of my vices was sneakers, what are some of yours?
