New Years Eve and this poor gay man is struggling to put an outfit together. Imagine Marc Jacobs meets John Varvatos, sexy meets clean lined. Right?
I came across a magnificent deep-V shirt from Nordstroms this summer. My first impression when noticing it on the figure of a manikin, "ooh, that would look great with skinny jeans and boots, topped with a french cut jacket." So I made the purchase-not only did I buy it in black, I also bought it in green. I've been hiding it, tucked away, awaiting for the right occasion to bring this shirt alive.
My life was shot down, instantly. "You're wearing a blouse, why are you wearing a blouse? You're not wearing that blouse, are you?"
Those were the comments from a dear boyfriend. A boyfriend whom takes pride in the clothing he wears and picks out.Any day that I see him, he is well tailored and ready to strut his look- with his head up high, and never without it, his confidence. I've never seen a man look so put together, so I've never had to question, "what is he going to wear? Oh god, he needs help." Not my boyfriend. He's done just fine on his own. Turn the tables, and he's questioning, disapproving and suggesting my fashion sense. WTH!?
The shirt was a new twist to the V-Neck, that's what I liked about it. It was different, it was something new, away from the average V-Neck for men. Again, pulling away from the typical shirt, pant or blazer and creating a new look, a new way of wearing a garment, or how the garment is designed. It's thinking out of the box, just as I did when I saw it. I knew right away how to pair it and make it work.
I didn't WOW him with this look. So, of course I was upset with him. He ripped my fashion confidence out of my heart, and left me with know other choice but to change. So I did.
So now I wonder, how deep is to deep for a V-Neck shirt? Did it catch him off guard because it's a new style? Maybe.Or perhaps it may remind him of a "blouse." But if I re-call, a blouse is a silk blend that slouches off the shoulders and has a oval shape plunge in the front..right? Well, when I googled blouse, that's what I saw.
As you all can see from the picture above, is the shirt I had on, but in black. And I'm curious to hear your opinions, my chest really wants to know if I bought a blouse, and so do I.
