Opening Ceremony Sale

Their are very few sales i find interesting these days. My pickiness and brand loyalty means their are only select few things i still want come sale season, most of which never go on sale. Opening Ceremony, on the other hand, has the perfect end of the season sale. Their is frequently things i want on their website that i dont need quit enough to validate the price tag, especially since i know it will most likely be sliced in half come july. While OC might stock items too wild for some, i find its the perfect time to not only pick up staples, but also pick up a few standouts you wouldnt normally buy. Another great thing, is they put a large emphasis on quality, so no matter what you look at, its usually made in either the US or Japan. I picked up the top two items, a staple, the J Sabatino ombre flannel, and a standout, the OC mixed striped shirt. While the fit on the Sabatino is a tad bit large, and the OC a bit small respectively, they are still both high quality, beautiful garments that will both certainly end up in the lineup.

Styling Pics

Heres some pictures i took for an editorial project for my styling class. The project is more streetwear oriented than i would normally wear, so the outfits are slightly louder than my every day get-ups. For example, the rrl shirt would never normally rub up against the supreme varsity, and those wood wood converse have never felt my feet in the 3 years i've owned them.

Prints

Ive found myself incredibly drawn to prints lately, which is obviously a backlash against my days of dressing like one of those dudes who was at the top of skyscrapers welding shit from 1930's photographs. I was sick of telling people i was a fashion major and getting back confused looks, as they probably assumed by my shoes that i studied desert hiking. Between my shirt, jacket, or supreme cap, im almost never not in a print nowadays, and i feel like it has helped move away from the bland without having a certain outstandingly fashionable look. Of course with camo, which is my primary print, you are still in danger of looking like a junkie from needle park in the 70's (which i completely cosign by the way), but if you know how to match it up correctly, its a guaranteed go. Pictured are jackets from Highland and Supreme, and a shirt by opening ceremony, all of which i purchased recently, and am mostly in love with. My only complaint about any of these garments is the cheesy airborn patch and terrible plastic buttons on the supreme joint, but the fit and print more than make up for it.

the highland jacket is the only one with sizes still available:
