[mixology monday]

today i am going a answer an email, i received a few days ago.

Hi Rashon,

I have really been enjoying your blog since seeing you on the Nate Show. You are inspiring me to step up my style. I love thrifting. We have three fabulous thrift shops here in Brandon, Florida, just outside Tampa. It's almost too easy here. My question for you this morning is: what do you wear when you go to GoodWill? Do you dress up or down? Okay, that's two questions. Please show us one of your casual outfits on a mixology post. Umm...you do dress casually sometimes, right?

Blessings,

N.B.

thanks so much N.B. for this email.

let me start by saying mixology monday is a portion of my blog i take to feature my style. my style is different from many other guys and i am ok with that.

when i go to goodwill i dress like i would if i were going to the mall. namely because i don't set out to go to goodwill. goodwill is just a stop in a day of errands or meetings. so i may have on a blazer, i may not. i may have on a bow tie, i may not. it all depends upon how i am feeling.

do i dress casual?

define casual.

for me casual is not jeans. i only have two pairs of jeans and i don't wear them often. i don't wear shorts and i may wear a polo shirt every now and then. between church and the last job i had i have a lot of suits, button down shirts, ties etc. in my closet so i wear them any chance i get.

i don't own any sneakers...i only wear chuck taylors.

i did consciously wear jeans this weekend to a dear friend's birthday party to show what i consider casual.
