A NighT Out~

       Last week I had the pleasure of attending a fashion event here in Boston and I must say that it was a blast!  The event was focused on showcasing designs & pieces from local designers and boutiques for the upcoming 2012 spring season (the fashion world is always 2 seasons ahead, thus giving you the opportunity to see what pieces will be on the racks beforehand).  Most of the designs were very chic while some were, umm, interesting to say the least (one collection featured items made of latex).  As usual, the runway show featured womenswear leaving the fellas to either gawk at the models or twiddle their thumbs in disinterest.  During the runway show a lightbulb went off in my head and I thought to myself, "the reason Boston's men have very little fashion sense is because they're are no fashion events that cater to them!"  Well, fellas, I have a few things up my sleeve to solve this problem so stay tuned.  On a more pleasurable note, I got a chance to meet some other local fashion PR reps and style bloggers, and I even found myself being photographed by the event's photographers (I'll post a link in the future once I know where these photos will be available to view)!  Below are a few snapshots of my ensemble from that night, and for those of you who recognize my blazer it is indeed the one from my 1st Thrift Store Therapy post!  As always, keep it fly!



I'd planned to wear a skinny black tie but I came across this   maroon knit tie I got from Topman last year.. I think it added 
          an interesting touch!

                             
                                                        

Wristbands are a cool way to add a bit of flair to any formal look and keep it from looking too traditional or stuffy
