This weekend I really struggled with my impulsive need to throw money at my problems, and the result was a number of new clothes that I absolutely love! I shopped exclusively online at men's fashion stores, YD and Connor, which I have previously reviewed. I rate both of these stores really highly and never fail to come out empty handed when I shop there.
I really tried to focus on finding items that I felt needed to be added to my rotation but I also made a huge effort to purchase items that were on sale in order to protect my bank balance. I was very successful on both counts, the pieces I purchased are all fantastic and a much needed addition to my wardrobe, and every item was on sale, except for one.
Ludlow shirt.
My personal belief is that every guy should have a couple of button-up checked shirts in there wardrobe- no I am not referring to farmer-plad - like the "Ludlow shirt". This style of shirt looks fantastic for a night out on the town, especially when the colour stands out as much as the purple in the "Ludlow shirt" does.
The "Ludlow shirt" looks fantastic when worn with sleeves rolled up and when teamed up with slim-fit dark coloured jeans or chinos and a pair of black boots or high top shoes.
I managed to pick up this shirt for $29.99, while it usually retails for $49.99. This was a fantastic price for a such a nice, vibrant, going out shirt!
Venice Beach Scoop Tee.
The "Venice Beach Scoop Tee" is a pretty standard tee, however, I think it has a simple style that goes well with almost any outfit. It can be worn dark or standard coloured jeans, under a long-sleeved collared shirt or can be paired with shorts for a casual look.
I purchased the "Venice Beach Scoop Tee" for an unbelievable $9.99, a saving of $20 from its standard price of $29.99! I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price for this shirt and was completely blown away that it was possible to buy such a great piece for so little money!
Dice Casual Jacket.
The contrasted sleeves on this jacket really drew me in, and once I saw the price there was no way I wasn't going to buy it.
The "Dice Casual Jacket" looks great for casual wear, as it's name suggests. I would pair this item with blue denim jeans and casual shoes.
Charlie Skinny Chino.
Dark coloured chinos are a must for any wardrobe! This pair is really simple, however, they can be worn in many different outfits.
For a casual look, the "Charlie Skinny Chinos" could be worn with a simple tee and casual shoes, or could be paired with a bright checked shirt, buttoned up, with leather boots or high top shoes.
Annex Knit.
The "Annex Knit" is a great jumper for the colder months, and looks great with just about any outfit.
I would mostly wear the "Annex Knit" with chinos or denim jeans and casual shoes.
I bought the "Annex Knit" for $29.99, 50% off the standard price of $59.99! I could not believe how cheap I managed to pick up such a nice, warm, winter jacket!
Overall rating: ★★★★
I managed to keep to my original plan of shopping for items on sale as both stores that I shopped with happened to have a lot of great items with discounted prices. In particular, I was very happy with the pricing at Connor, and the fact that I was rewarded with free shipping for spending a lot of money with them!
I was also very happy with the range available at both stores, as I found a lot of versatile pieces that could be worn in several different ways- including items that I was not able to purchase due to my self-enforced budget. This was very important to me as versatility factors into the first post I am writing
for a new section of my blog!
