I think I have to stop following all these #menswear blogs… I’m starting to realize that tumblr has become this fantasy land that I like to visit throughout the day. It’s filled with perfect fitting blazers, the most impeccable watches and the most beautifully crafted leather shoes that are all outrageously out of my price range. Reality is, I am just a student in his 20s interested in looking good proper. Some of the clothes, shoes or accessories that I yearn for, are things that I shouldn’t even be looking to possess.

I know over the past 10 months, I’ve learned a lot about fashion, especially the way things are supposed to fit, and the importance of quality. However, menswear on tumblr is becoming this one big trend. I remember I used to come across new menswear blogs almost every day, learning new things, new brand, new styles, but now, whatever is tagged/featured in #menswear, are the people who work for tumblr, or who have networked so hard into the business that it’s just automatic for them to be featured. It’s like we’re being spoon-fed what’s “fashionable” and what we as men should buy and yearn for. 

I guess what I’m saying is that, over the past few months, I’ve realized what’s important is quality content. I think there’s more to this blog than just reblogging whatever else is out there. So, for whoever reads this that might actually care, I will try to post more quality content. REAL content, not just “advice” or pictures of clothes that everyone else tells us is good. Most importantly, I will try to post original content. I post a lot of high end stuff, and maybe that’s why that one anon thought I was a trust-fund kid, but in the coming days, you will see more of me. 

ANYWAYS, enough ranting. Expect a big change; original content; more pics of my thunder thighs, more pics of Oliver, gratuitous pics of stock quotes/charts and random gifs.

Thanks
