Thematic Repelling: First Date

Hey! Happy Saturday! Today on The Man Repeller: getting dressed for a first date. Because I've changed my hypothesis to read more like, man repelling as a process of elimination vs. man repelling as an effort to stay perpetually single, I thought it might be a good idea to display right here an outfir or two that would serve as a how to: repel on your first date. I won't lie, I've also gotten in several e-mail requests on the subject matter. And thy shall continually honor ye requests...so keeping sending 'em in. And so, without further adieu, I call this one: getting him ready for what's in store.

jacket: Isabel Marant, blouse: Iro, shoes: Christopher Kane, bib: DANNIJO, cut-offs: True Religion

Neon-a-thon a la platforms! Tribal prints and shoulder feathers! Hole-y shirt! To rationalize the outrageous (read: better) parts of the outfit, I suggest a pair of denim cut-offs to show some skin, I mean skeeeeeeen. Between you and me though, I'd prefer some harem pants or leopard print high waist shorts so not to trick the date at hand into thinking you have his interest in mind when outfitting your body but then again...at the end of the day, a little fornication never hurt anybody, right? Right? Except, you know, the girls on 16 and Pregnant.

Or...you can try something like this:

blouse: Thakoon, shorts: The Kooples, shoes: Christian Louboutin

 

You may not say repeller, I don't blame you, but come on now, when's the last time matching your bright pink shorts to pink shoes was dubbed socially acceptable? Yes, that's right, circa 2002 a la Legally Blond. 

Viva Elle Woods!

And Bruzer.
