The Reasonably Prudent Law Student

My first bona-fide Huma-look for the boys. I needed the guys (Ben, Mike, Zach) to give me a little push.

Okay. Now, as Ben already figured out (stalker), I like boys in argyle. I also like boys in dark jeans, tees, and blazers. That unrequired bit of fanciness (the blazer) is just amazing.

I also like boys in bright colors. Now, I’m usually not a fan of pink or orange (corals, really), and I go either way on red, but generally speaking, I like boys in bright, vibrant colors, especially blues and greens that aren’t your typical (boring) navy or English racing green. Really, English racing green is the best possible color for a Jaguar. Kind of an aside, but I’m just saying.

So here’s a look that’s kind of bright (not really) that I like a lot.

Cotton Striped V-Neck Sweater ………. $44.99
Classic V-Neck T-shirt Short-Sleeve in gray ………. $23
Express ROCCO Boot Cut Jeans in Dark Tint ………. $49.50

Ah, dark wash jeans. LOVE dark wash jeans. I can’t even articulate what it is about them; I just love them. Boot cut, straight leg, relaxed fit, distressed, whatever, as long as it’s a dark tint it’s A-OK in my book.

Along with the dark jeans, we’ve got a plain gray crew neck that matches the red and heather gray striped sweater. The red is nice and bright, but the gray and white keep the look masculine.

That was totally my mom talking there. And my dad. They’re from the Indian subcontinent, meaning they have significant British influences, and apparently the thinking in Britain and France (God, my parents love France) when they were my age was that men stuck to black, brown, gray, white, and navy, and that was pretty much it. Other colors, brighter colors, were for women, and men wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them. My dad owns a two purple dress shirts and one green one, and that’s pushing it for  him, considering his closet is full of white (for shirts) and navy and gray (for polos). Those are his ‘adventure’ purchases. Because he lives on the wild side.

Just like the Hoomster.

Anyway, yes, ignore that ‘masculine’ crack. I don’t know what I’m saying.

So, yes. Dark blue, red, and gray/white. Lovely. I’d like this best with nicer black shoes, but who am I kidding? A pair of Chucks would look great, too.

I’m so freaking easy to please. You guys should be grateful. You really should.

You won’t be, though. I can feel it. :-| Because that’s just how you roll.
