As all of you know, or at least should know by know, we follow street photographer Tommy Ton and so do big name designers. Ton is one of the biggest names in men’s and women’s fashion and he hasn’t designed a stitch of clothing for either. He’s the pulse of the fashion world and he’s hired by big name magazines to shoot fashion weeks around the world.

On his recent trip to Italy, Ton photographed everyday street life and from the long list of images you immediately get the feel that Italians dress better than Americans. Even when they’re not dressed up they just look put together in a better way. Clothing and appearance seems much more important. Hmmmm. . . !

This is interesting! As I look around our little corner of the world I immediately notice that Mandy is very well dressed. She’s always dressed nice. Julie is too! Fun shoes and skinny jeans and a great smile. Craig looks nice and is always stylish. funky glasses and probably too thin for a man. Jennifer looks fantastic in a burlap sack and so goes the rule that beautiful women can do whatever they want. I’m a firm believer in that! Skinny jeans tucked into tall boots is a good look on her, let me tell ya’.

Now, lets finally get to me! I look terrible compared to everyone else! My clothes are out dated, I’ve gained a few pounds and I didn’t shave today so I have a little five-o-clock shadow thing going. The looks good on some men but it doesn’t on me. I changed my shoes and I now have running shoes on because we have a new model coming in and I need to be comfortable so I gave myself a pass for that, but I look ‘shluppy’ at best. However, the shoes I took off are sitting there on the floor and they need a polish and look worn out. My running shoes look better. That sucks!

This is going to change right now! Tommy Ton’s street scene photo’s of Italy has inspired me to change how I dress for every day looks not just when I need to or have to.
