After a sumptuous dinner at the Tiger Den, on my way to my seat I spotted Craig Monroe. C. Mo.!- I shrieked like a teen at a Justin Bieber concert. Stopping in my tracks, I was happy that my sunnies covered my star shaped eyes. C. Mo, I gushed, I watch all the game broadcasts just to see what you are wearing! Any chance you would let me have a photo op? Sure, he says and putting down his Caesar slice, leaned over and sweetly posed with me. Let me see what you have on, I said. He obliged me with a twirl and we laughed that even with his gorgeous suit, he had on Converse kicks that matched the ones I had on. We bonded instantly..
I am a sucker for a sharp dressed man. I love creative, thought out looks on a man that is not afraid to show that side of himself. Craig's perfectly tailored suit with a crisp white shirt, skinny pants, and a contrasting silk pocket square topped of with his high tops were perfection. We don't have to even discuss his also perfect physique and whatever cologne he was wearing. (Okay-tiny crush here...)
I told him that he was next weeks blogstar. He flashed me his smile (more perfection), and got back to his slice. I made my way down to my seat, still a little starstruck. We miserably lost the game but I still had a cool 'Detroit Tiger' experience.
I mused later on how much I love the fact that my husband is also a clotheshorse and an incredibly stylish dresser. Whether you dress up or dress down-no matter-just own it and be comfortable in your skin and style. It's a confidence thing.
Thank you Craig Monroe for indulging an old, suburban chick. You're MY Tiger! xo
lol. My idea of dressing up is wearing jeans with no holes in them and a t-shirt with a pocket for a pen.
ReplyDeleteCharles-that look works too! Whatever makes you comfortable is usually your 'look!' Have a great week!
