The Neckerchief

Waist Coat - Vintage
Pants - American Apparel
Socks - Socks, Socks, Socks
Boots - Clarks Desert boot
Lets get out of the box and say you don't have to be a scout nor a sailor to be able to wear a neckerchief. The neckerchief in my opinion can possibly be one of the best accessories a man can wear. If done right, if not it can just be an absolute disaster.
In the Victorian Era the Neckerchief ( Cravat ) was quite the most popular accessory worn by man. But however in those times it was much more of a formal and up - tight fit of a cravat. However today's contemporary neckerchief, has gone under an extreme transformation.Turning its back on its up tight fitting formal roots to becoming much more easy and free fitting.        
The sole purpose for the neckerchief is to accessorize, they usually tend to be made from silk or cotton and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Not only is it a big attention grabber, but it brings great quality to an outfit and portray's a man's attention to detail. You really cant go wrong with a neckerchief, if done properly it will always be a win win decision.

Chief : "Principles of the Bad Habits are do what you need to do to get where you want to be. This is simplified by saying BadHabits NoRegrets, which also means learn from your mistakes and move without dwelling. We like to stay fresh and exclusive so the 1st 50 of each shirt are numbered. Usually 25 per colorway. The overall slogan on the brand is they'll never believe you'll make it till you made it.Believe in yourself and what your trying to accomplish because no one will until you give them a reason to."

Even though I'm not a fan of summer weather, I really can not complain. Its officially been a year since I moved to this city. And I've really loved every moment of it.  This summer here in Montreal has been amazing I must say. I have met really wonderful people on this leg of my path. I have even shared on my blog for my readers such as Vanessa, Sula,  & Melissa. There are too many for me to even name.

 But of coarse school is about to kick in once again and all the stress will slowly begin to pile up once again. Due to assignments and projects. I really am not looking forward to at all. I have so much more I want to do and see this summer. Time flies by when you're having fun I guess, good thing is I can say is that I have no regrets.
