Delpozo For The Win

by Matthew T. Murray in CASUAL, DAYTIME DRESSING

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6th

Every week, I'm smitten with a new designer to a near-addictive extent where the temptation to buy everything is alarmingly high. Last week, it was Gucci - who can say no to fantastical yet wearable rainbow stripes? The week before, I was feelin' Fendi.

But then, luckily, I remember I am male. And this is one of the times I am thankful to be a male. If I were a fashion gurl, I would likely have biweekly mental breakdowns over not being able to afford can't-live-without Stella McCartney silver oxfords (pictured) or scene-stealing Miu Miu printed dresses.

It's easier for me to fantasize and suggest to you a $600 Delpozo sweater for the mere factoid that I will never have to live with and resist the temptation to own sweater (unless I opt for gender re-assignment - in that case, I'll have Chanel and Delpozo up the wazoo, please).

So in conclusion, I'mma show you this expensive ass sweater with the perfect Stella wedges but from now on for my outfit posts, I will also show how you can get the look for less since I want The Outfix to be a space everyone can enjoy without fretting finances. Because fashion should always be fun.

THE LOOK

Delpozo sweater. MiH jeans. Lulu Guiness bag. Stella McCartney wedges.

THE LOOK FOR LESS

Joe Fresh sweater. Mango jeans. Skinnydip clutch. Jeffrey Campbell wedges.

A Better Sweater

by Matthew T. Murray in DAYTIME DRESSING, CASUAL

TUESDAY, JANUARY 5th

Delpozo sweater. Frame Denim jeans. Loewe bag. Delpozo shoes.

If the Wooly Mammoth had an extramarital affair with Drag Queen goddess Lakisha Sparkles, this Delpozo sweater would be their illegitimate love child.

Pastel pink, cobalt blue, rose, and winter white fringe cascade on an alpaca pullover, making the jaw-dropping price tag understandable. Delpozo designer Joseph Font is one of the few pioneering designers reinvigorating demi-couture practices bringing innovative, hand-constructed garments into the ready-to-wear category.

Font spins fashion into a Willy Wonka-fied fantasy and fashion's flock are dreaming of Delpozo. This crazy ass sweater and the other offerings from his recent pre-fall 2016 collection are on sale for pre-order at Moda Operandi if you feel like loosening the purse strings.

And while an easy breezy J. Crew v-neck sweater may be your no-brainer for effortless winter dressing, why not take a walk on the wild side and dare to wear this sweater?

Wearing a sweater this bipolar is no easy feat. Scale it back by wearing denim - a flare-legged jean gives the look a free-spirited '70s vibe. Add a top-handle bag that perfectly complements one of the shades of the sweater. Last but not least, pair it with a bow-adorned glossy shoe that makes it feel like Christmas all over again!

Most importantly, wear a smile! To quote the Dalai Lama, fun outfits fail when you're a grouchy biatch. Ok. He didn't say that but I'm sure he'd agree with me.

GET YOUR ASS TO THE GYM

by Matthew T. Murray in CASUAL, FITNESS

MONDAY, JANUARY 4th

What to Wear to the Gym, Part 1

Victoria's Secret Pink bra. Adidas by Stella McCartney leggings. Adidas sneakers. Bkr water bottle.

Hey, ladies! I know it's hard to put down that double-glazed, vanilla-frosted Krispy Kreme but since you wanted to work on your fitness this year as a core resolution, I need to tell you to put that MOTHERFUCKING DONUT DOWN!

Excuse my French but sometimes, you need tough love. Anyways, to help with your resolution, I already found all the best exercise gear under $130 for you to shop and digitally styled a high fashion Fendi fitness look last week (read: expensive af but worth it if you have a spare thousand dollars laying around).

Now to make it even easier, every Monday and Friday, I will be digitally styling fitness outfits for your gym excursions because function and fashion do go together. So the times you need the most inspiration to get your ass to the gym - the beginning of the week and the end - I will have a little dose of fitspo fashion for yah.

Let's face the facts here, you've worn that oversize, ratty, hole-bearing, stain-wielding grey t-shirt to the gym so many times even your fashion-aloof dude friends have taken notice. So it's time to shop for the clothes that make you actually want to go to the gym! Let's do this, ladies!
