A Pair of Cojones Required

Experimenting with clothes isn't a science. You just need balls. Because at the end of the day, it's just an outfit. You can take it off. And if you do it slowly to an R Kelly song, then it's a sexy striptease.

Unlike a bad tattoo or a misshapen haircut, trying to nail a look you see on the runway is an easy way to mix things up but still remaining non-committal.

For example, I love this Burberry Prorsum Spring 2014 look. He has my hair, I like the mix of spring colors. But I love the layering of the shirts. It's perfect for someone like me who works in a professional environment, where wearing a full on suit is a bit overdressed…especially when I have to do a sweepstakes mailing.

So I will see what's in my closet to make this double collared look happen. I may have to fib the torquoise tie. Fortunately, I have the murse, black shoes and blue sunglasses all in my closet.  

YES
I'm a hoarder. But I always remain true to myself. For example, I know that boat shoes do not reflect who I am as a person, which happens to be someone who hates anything that deals with bodies of water including water sports. I even wear my St. Germain sailor shirt with Nike high-tops.

NO
Prescription drugs and hallucinogens are not required for experimentation. It couldn't hurt, and you could always blame the mismatched outfit on the drugs. But if it's a genius look, then take all the credit and glory. You will be a street style star soon enough.

MAYBE
You wear a uniform. Trying something new really isn't for you.
