THE COLE+KID JOURNAL ♣ BROWN SUGAR+ BLUE MAGIC

IMG_3387 When it comes to pairing blue and brown your granny’s wise words might slip the occasion sometimes but this combo here has consistency for decades . In my opinion bright colors instantly have a masculine aura when paired with natural and dark tone colors .

STREET STYLE AFRICA ♣ SUPER FLY

♣ FLY; EVERY TIME THIS WORD IS USED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF A WELL DRESSED MAN IT NEVER REALLY SITS WELL WITH ME UNLESS THERE IS A FULL OR HALF FRAME SHOT OF A GENTLEMAN FROM THE SUPER FLY 70’S INVOLVED. I HONESTLY DON’T KNOW IF IT’S THE FACIAL BEARD OR THE NON NONCHALANT WAY THIS GENTLEMAN’S SCARF AND VINTAGE SAILOR’S HAT HARMONIOUSLY SYNC, BUT IF YOU ASK ME I’D SAY THIS  IS DEFINITELY IN THE FLY ZONE .

THECOLE+KID JOURNALS ♣ BACK HOME AND AROUND TOWN

Back home and this is how we are getting around on a chill Sunday afternoon. I was taught not to match my shoes with whatever cloth I chose to cover my chest, but on this day my favorite pair of slippers happened to match my latest thrift pick up and since they are in dark hues I figured  the ‘’gods’’ wouldn’t need a sacrifice to let me pass . This shirt is actually a jockey pajamas, if you look closely you can spot the pockets on the tail end of the shirt, but I loved the print and the loose feel so much I had to put into main rotation. Finally and happily reunited with my tote bag, this bag has the space to pack almost anything except my chubby niece, it’s the perfect companion for a wardrobe change plus a picnic in a bat cave  .
