Fashion vs. Clothing Fads


I was wit my lil cuzin a few months bacc in the mall watching him shop. Now bein that im almost 20 years his senior it was like deja vu - but I was the guardian tryin to keep up wit the cool kid(Shout out to my momz lol!). As we went to all the different stores( forever 21, Vans, etc.) and seein him pick the clothes he liked...IT WAS THOSE G23DAMN SKINNY JEANS AND TIGHT A@S SHIRTS!!! "You like these" I'd would asked and man would say Yeah!! "In this color?" (Purple) and he said "Um hum" smilin wit the Flinstone tee to match the jeans. Mind u now when I ask if they had the jeans in his size, the salesman said they come in 2 sizes....small and smaller!LOLOL!! I know sometimes it hurts to be fly but I never wore Hammer pants so I could dance better. I come from da D.M.V. (google it) where you have 2 stay fly - head 2 toe. If everything u had on didnt cost over a hundred(Kickz, Jeans,Shirt Etc.) -thatz been since forever u bammin out!! As a youngin I rocked Locoste, if I bought a navy blue shirt best believe I had the socks 2 match. The official shoe of D.C. are the New Balance's 995, well Timberlands really but hey tomayto - tomato! Both pair uv shoes cost no less than a yard, but the bar is raised real high when it comes da dress code that i came up in. No disrespect to New Yurk but I truly think if it wasnt 4 Sean Combs, who attended Howard University (Howard Ave. Day), NYC would still b wearin brougains(Brown boot wit red string...once again google it!). Now also its not how much it costs but how u can pull it off, I can find a old pair of L.A. Gear Aerobics(Black on Black wit d straps) and turn heads!!! Wit that sayin, u have to know the difference in store and boutique also retailer and warehouse - The 1st place in a mall u look 4 kicks iz Footlocker, last place iz Footstop. I could also hit the Ralph Lauren Section in Macy's but I'd rather go to his stores 4 more selections n a collection!!! I wore Hugo Boss sweatsuits b4 Rocky knocked out that Russian and I still cant come to grips on why u wanna sag pants that are already small with wit ur hi-top Jordan morphed dunks looking too big!!!! We couldve look like Tony Hawk or even The Beastie Boys from 20 years ago but that wasnt cool then and its not cool now........Have some Style! Fucc it pick up da latest mag of G.Q....lolol
