When I Dress I Always Want To Look Intentional

'Being a father, I never want to be overbearing but blend love with discipline. Being a preacher, I never want to give my opinion but share the unadulterated truth. When I dress, I always want to look intentional.

Style has always been something that has followed me whether it was in school, at church, on the football field. I've always had a flare to be different, edgy, but still clean. From derbys to braces, bow ties to wingtips it has been a journey of timeless fashion mixed with modern chic but always representing the personality within me. Its something that I pass on to my son as well, letting him know that a gentleman always gets dressed for whatever occasion because it shows what type of man you are. It doesn't take much, but it requires who you are and what you want to represent, and for me I let my style represent the man that I am. Solid.'

I'd Like To Get To 250 Bow Ties By The End Of 2014

'Three years ago I traded sneakers for shoes and T-Shirts for Bow Ties. Don't get me wrong, There's absolutely nothing wrong with sneakers and t-shirts, but I needed to grow up. For me fashion is a sense of self where an individual not only looks GREAT, but feels GREATER.

I used to collect Jordans (and I get myself a pair here and there) but now I collect Bow Ties. I wear bow ties because where I grew up, I'm supposed to wear saggy jeans and big t-shirts. I'm supposed to be hip-hop but that's just not me. I like to combine different bow ties with different colors and shirts. I love different prints and above all, I love how it makes me feel.

Not everyone wears bow ties, but I'd like to get to 250 by the end of 2014. I don't have a specific brand I buy, but Marcus Troy Sums it up like this "A wardrobe is definitely built over time and it is not about brand, but about quality and fit."'

I Feel I Am A Walking Contradiction And Delusional At Best

'I feel I am a walking contradiction and delusional at best. I find fashion to be a way to explain what goes on in my mind. The way that colors and patterns mesh together and synthesis into an ensemble, is the same way the brain works in my eyes. Mixing and matching thoughts till one is able to make something of pure awe. One can use colors as a way to express the mood you are in from a lively mixture of colors or something more somber.'
