Wearing - Gap navy polka dot shirt & chinos, Penfield red backpack, Converse, Muji watch, Ray Ban
I've been trying to experiment with different patterns and prints of late, well in my head a least. After ogling the Pitti images on various websites and blogs it became pretty clear that I need to try out more interesting prints other than the safety net of checks and stripes. It's not that I don't see any but the stuff I usually see isn't anywhere near my budget. So when I saw this polka dot shirt in Gap last week it was pretty obvious that I had to have it. I picked it up in Glasgow whilst we were there last week in the sale so I can't complain. I'm currently looking at this fella for inspiration, although I do have super beard envy.
In other news I got a new tattoo a couple of weeks ago, an anchor on the inside of my upper arm, I'm sure it will crop up on here sooner or later. Also I'm also officially job hunting so if anyone reading this looking for a hard working creative chat, I'm your man.
Love the polka dots!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new tat!! :)
Good luck with the job hunt - anybody would be lucky to have you working for them.
I like the shirt! It looks good paired with the bright backpack, actually.
ReplyDeletei've been thinking of buying a polka dot shirt too but i'm a bit wary when it comes to prints. now i think i really need to buy one. good luck with your job hunting. :)

Love this - just a perfect combo. I kind of want to dress like this. Not sure I could really pull it off though... x
ReplyDeleteOk Twitpic does not do this justice! Well done on the find and surprisingly well done to the GAP! I guess it's better in Europe!
ReplyDeleteA very suave shirt indeed, and loving you in the Ray Bans.
ReplyDeleteShow us your ink! :P
Looking good, Mat! I love the idea of the polka dot shirt with an anchor tattoo... Both are kind of brave (in a very good way).
ReplyDeleteI love it, nice find! Good luck with the job hunt, too. x
ReplyDeleteI agree about the unreality of Givenchy. Re: Style, unfortunately I don't think I really have the right kind of, umm, physique to pull off tomboy/androgyny/menswear. Will definitely be taking more abstract inspiration in terms of simple prints and primary colours though!
ReplyDeletei'm loving this combination.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for having to have this shirt.. I'm partial to polka dots myself. Congrats on your new tat!!
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots and the bright back pack! Wishing you lots of good luck on the job hunt! If only I were hiring... I'd snatch you up in an instant! Am sure something amazing is right around the corner. xx
ReplyDeleteyou look great, as usual. XX

ReplyDeleteI trully like the shirt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
