Do you need to buy that? Or do you have something similar already?

Warning: blog post that follows is only semi-related to men's fashion.

Previous posts have seen me talking about my search for the next purchase, either shoes, pants, or a watch. But maybe I should consider carefully before I spend money on another new purchase...

About a week ago, my mum showed me a pair of jeans, telling me to wear it (and try not to keep wearing the same clothes in my wardrobe).

I was in my usual nonchalant mood, and dismissive too, telling her that it probably was a hand-me-down from a relative, and that it looked too small to fit.

I ended up wearing it to work the very next day.

Lessons learned? Quite a few
  • I should look at my wardrobe to see if I'm forgetting to wear clothes that I have, but haven't been wearing
  • Being yourself at home doesn't mean I need to be caustic
By the way, the pair of jeans in question comes in a nice off-white (or cream) shade. I've been contemplating to purchase a pair of white jeans (or pants) to add to my wardrobe, but had been hesitating due to a few concerns.

This off-white colour is a nice compromise. I wore it with a white polo with horizontal-stripes, and my usual white sneakers. Another good pairing is with my pink shirt (and rolled-up sleeves).
