Common West...

So lately, I've grown and changed style wise. I figured that my wardrobe is startin to be a compromise between Common and Kanye West. U know, that ghetto prep with a hint of eclecticism. This nigga drew told me on Saturday... who the fuck are u, Common?

I like the whole Courd Blazer and pop collared polo... I guess thas the ghetto prep Kanye. But then the Common comes in with the Hoody under the courd blazer.

Then I'll rock the threaded skully with the brim somewhat to the side. If it aint that cold, I'll rock either the black or desert storm (not army) fatigue hat.

My jeans are gettin less and less baggy. Don't get me wrong, I love my Omavis, thas all I wear to the bowling alley. But now my straight leg, slightly-more-than-relaxed fit Indigo Reds are my favorite. Not to mention I wear slacks everyday of the week since I been working for Jersey City Architecture.

Then the shoes... niggas know I love my Diesels and Maddens. When I'm doin it big for the day... its the square toe Kenneth Coles. My brown Kenneth Cole square toes are crispy as fuck... lookin like a mahogany dining room table after it's just sprayed down with Endust. If they're sneakers... they gotta be Adidas Goodyear. Other than New Balances, I think I've outgrown the whole Jordan and Nike stage. AND MY CHUCKS! How can I forget about my chucks?! Chucks can be for a friday at work... and just all out barhopping. Gotta be versatile wit the kicks ppl!

North Jersey's new thing around here is the thermal. Thermals and Button-Ups (Button-downs to some) have shot the Throwback Jersey out of the fuckin water. Throwbacks and Jerseys came and went so fast that niggas cry when they look at all the fuckin money they spent on Jerseys. Last year was the button-up and fitted. Now its the thermal... Galaxy went from white tees to Thermals. These niggas even out here makin thermal hoodies. So what I do to make the thermal my own??? I rock the more fitted thermals as opposed to the XXXXXXXXXXL thermals. A fitted thermal and logo tshirt over it. My favorite right now is my Wonder Bread shirt. It has the red blue and yellow circles and everything, but instead of Wonder - it says "Hustler". Last week, I took it back and rocked a straight up D.A.R.E shirt from 6th grade. I mean WTF its a size XL... why not wear it? Yea I put it on... hopefully if i remember to "D.A.R.E.", i'll stop smoking LOL!?!?! cuz D.A.R.E. obviously wasnt effective enought 10 years ago in 6th grade.

I wear a whole buncha browns, tans, yellows, and greens. I only wear all black when either somebody dies or its below 45 degrees outside.

So damn Demar, why blog about what you wear? Hmmm... I wish I would wrote a blog about what I was wearin in 2003. I was rockin Gores, Timbs, New Balances, and American Flag chucks to Summer Jam.

My ex-ex gave me this complex that I looked stupid in Fitteds... so it was around then I started wearin Fitteds - only to learn that ppl liked me in fitteds. 2003 theres was a certain way you were supposed to wear your fitted... it was supposed to be half a size too big so that it could (1) fit over your eyebrows and (2)rest on your ears. What were we thinkin!?!

If you were like me n my niggas... you prided yourself on how many different pairs of Pepe Jeans you had. It was ridiculous how many pairs of Pepe Jeans I had. Not to mention, they had all the same color scheme - red white n blue. Now where are they, on the shelf in my closet under a whole buncha Dockers slacks and Omavis.

Airbrush tees were that shit for me in 2003... my favorite one however has my ex's initials on the sleeve wit the date 2.14.03 that we started goin out. I refuse to get rid of that shirt, so it only has one sleeve LOL.

Button-Ups had just started gettin big... and they were what you wore instead of the jerseys and throwbacks. Throwbacks... that was a fuckin business.

So now on the brink of 2006... look at me. Shit, look at us. Call me Common West!

Yesterday I got my application for Graduation... I been shuckin n jiving all over the place.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.... its SHININ! I'm SHININ!
