This has nothing to do with the star of Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. There is no specific inspiration or special reason for this outfit. It's simple. It's crazy-hot in Dhaka. Let me make it clear. The heat I can handle, but the humidity is disgusting. Naturally, I thought of something pleasant. A lovely outfit for a lovely woman.

She is a young 20 something, a jolt of life, spark plug, hilarious, and simply infectious. Not to forget, a very hard worker. I love being in her company, regardless of all the craziness that comes with it. She's one of those young women who becomes the statement, "It's not about the dress, it's about the woman wearing the dress." Her personality is magnetizing; on numerous occasions, I found myself unable to part from her just so I could hear one more ridiculous statement.
One thing I have clearly noticed about this young lady is that her style never waivers. One outfit after the other, casual or a little dressed up, she is a sight for sore eyes. Her playful nature just adds a bit more to the fun. The moment she enters the room is like when you decide to turn the 'brightness' level up on your phone's display. After all is said and done, I keep hearing the same line over and over, "Mahmood! What should I wear? I have no clothes!"
Today's post has been inspired by her so here's to you, my über cute bottle of sunshine. (Side note: If I were a woman, I would be insanely jealous of her hair. Like, wow!)

Gentlemen, I apologize for the long delay. I would have liked to title this post Suit & Tie (yes, one of JT's hit singles from his new album) - matching post to The Outfit 246: Dress On I did for the ladies. This is sort of a corresponding post to that have the looks I did for the ladies a little while ago.
For those who really don't feel like taking a gander on what I did for the ladies, I'll explain. I was inspired by one of JT's songs - from his new album - called, Dress On. It sparked the idea for two different looks. One was all out 'red carpet' formal look and the other, a little more toned down yet sophisticated. With the new season in mind, along with the new hot trends, I've put together a couple of looks for you gentlemen in the same fashion.
Like I've mentioned many times before, I'm not telling anyone to buy these items; these serve as an inspirational agent. Take a good look at the outfits and conjure up ideas that will look good on you under your own budget.

"There's something about your body
I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
Yeah, right here in the restaurant
And start in our honeymoon
While you still got your dress on
While you still got your dress on...yeah"
Today's post is titled after the song Dress On - a bonus track on Justin Timberlake's new deluxe edition album, The 20/20 Experience. I must state, it's definitely a "3S Effect" (haven't used that term in a while) type of music album. The Timberlake & Timbaland combination is simply killer. The music is just super smooth and mature. And yes, I listen to it every time I get dressed to head out.I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
Yeah, right here in the restaurant
And start in our honeymoon
While you still got your dress on
While you still got your dress on...yeah"
The lyrics made me think of how much I love putting looks together for evening events. As much as I love putting together looks for everyday life for men and women, the special occasions is what I look forward to the most. That extra effort in class and sophistication is definitely worth the while. It's sort of a natural high, an aphrodisiac for the fashion savvy - for a moda oficionado like me. The style of clothing also reminded me of one of my 3 muses, Hayley. As I have mentioned in past posts, she is who I picture in gowns and on red carpets; to me she is elegance.
The lyrics got me to think about two different looks. First, there is the signature evening dress at a formal evening event. The second is slightly toned down for a quick getaway dinner for two and to whatever follows...Wink, wink.
