“When you want something, you have to be willing to pay your dues.” -Les Brown
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.
For the first couple of years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.
A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have.
And if you are just starting out or you are still in that phase, you gotta know it’s normal and the most important thing you can do is a lot of work. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close the gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.” -Ira Glass (National Public Radio)

Taking the chance to layer up a bit because of the weather! Thank God for this, I hope it will be the same after the summer.
For this look, I opted to use a normal black coat as my cover up, wore it this way because it’s larger than my regular size, and I also took the advantage of it to have an effect in my outfit (naks! haha), but if you think using a coat is too much, you could just use a denim jacket or anything that would make you comfortable. Finished the look by incorporating a strong element which is my DIY studded man clutch so that the whole outfit would not look boring or plain, I know it’s not normal for some people to see a guy using a clutch, especially a studded one, but it’s fun to use (or to do) something which is not normal, something out of your comfort zone. What do you guys think?
