Mad For Plaid

Gray Button Down & Plaid Button Down: Lee Jeans / Shoes: Romwe / Bag: Alexander Wang

My Bazooka Rocks OOTD.

I'm quite the sucker for plaid button downs. It has a nostalgic grunge appeal that I always associate with rock bands and music festivals. Since I was attending a rock fest, my fashion weapon of choice had to be a plaid button down...but worn differently. Instead of having it envelope my hips (yet again), I toyed with the idea of converting my Lee plaid button down shirt into a skirt (ever the experimental fashionista that I am). And to shake things up further, I went with a BDOBD (button-down-on-button-down) configuration (both from Lee, by the way), paired with mesh boots ala Margiela. If you knew me well, you should've been able to deduce that I handpicked these two button downs from the men's section, just because I like my shirts big and loose. I am actually quite in love with the grey button down -- it makes me feel masculine and sexy at the same time.

Oh, and just a tip: the green plaid shirt I'm wearing is reversible. Yes. You get two shirts for the price of one, baby!

P.S. I will be sharing event photos from Bazooka Rocks 2013 soon! Watch out for it!

Lee x Bazooka Rocks

Albert Einstein once said that, "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." and this is exactly what the Lee Jeans #StayCurious campaign imbibes. With 124 years of authentic denim heritage, Lee's ability to stay hungry for the new puts them at the forefront of denim innovation. "Stay curious", a plan of action and engagement is a push to have every unanswered question answered, to have the unfamiliar become more familiar - all by living through your favorite pair of Lee jeans.

Every pair of Lee jeans becomes part of your personal history, living through experiences with you, like second skin. It will document and record your stories. It will become your past, your now and your new. While it certainly reminds you of moments in every stain, rip and wear, it'll also remind you of possibilities. And wonderful possibilities are what we should all strive for in all aspects of our lives, be it in our career, relationships or even in our fashion choices...   

...And how about the possibility of winning two tickets to Bazooka Rocks 2013 where you can catch hot international and local acts, such as Anberlin, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Radio Drive By, Penguin, We Came As Romans, and others, rock it out on August 25 at the SMX Convention Center?
