Sometimes a great pair of shades can add a hint of hipness and mystery that can take you look to the next level. Sunglasses or shades is an accessory I have to say people often forget about but yet it can change a outfit dramatically. Check out some of these great options to keep the sun out of your eyes and keep you looking awesome at the same time!

Ok, today is just a downright wet and rainy day in North Carolina and this can make it a little more difficult to be stylish and dry at the same time! Here are a few things every guy should have to make their day a little less damp on a day like this!

#WIWT Thrifted, Paisley and Blue

For my #OOTD I took a more causal approach with my look (causal for me anyways). One thing I really like is that it is comfortable and stylish at the same time. And of course this is almost all entirely thrifted! Check out the details below.

You can easily pair jeans with a blazer just as long as you remember to wear a tailored jean. It gives more of a polished look along with being causal.

This blue wool blazer is very comfortable and is one of my thrifted finds from Ralph Lauren. The paisley shirt is also a thrifted find from Express. The lapel pin is handmade by myself :-)!

The shoes are not thrifted but still one of my favorites. The are blue paisley slippers from Ted Baker that I picked up from Nordstrom. The grey Levi's are from Macy's.

Remember that you can always dress down your dapper look by switching out traditional trousers with tailored jeans and switch out your dress shirt with a fun patterned dress shirt.

I look to add more #OOTD onto the blog in the future so please stay connected!
