"Mom....I can't find my back pack!"

Well, hello my darling. How is everyone today? I hope ur well. I had a great day. I woke up worked out (p90x is kicking my ass) and got ready for the day. I decided I needed some color in my life. So even though I told myself and you I would wear pants today I chose an adorable pair of high waisted green shorts. I continued the color frenzy with a tie dye t-shirt from american apparel that looks like it sort of has clouds on it. it is my favorite t-shirt it reminds me of summer camp and play practice. It was very a youthful outfit. I felt like a kid again. Oh, and I completed the outfir with my newest and most favorite accessory: a gorgeous orange Hermes belt. I could wear it with a trash bag and look like a million bucks...maybe because the freakin' belt cost that much. Point is: I love it.

Well I had a lot to do today (when don't we all have a lot to do) three rehearsals with three different musical scores and my LaDucas (dance shoes) and so much other crap I realized the vuitton was just not going to cut it for the day. So i pulled out the L.L. Bean. desperate times call for desperate measures. I have to say firstly I love my book bag it has my first name embroidered across the front (not just my initials) in a beautiful script- and it is suuuuper practical. However, practicality and fashion don't always get along. At one time Kipling bags were the epitome of functional fashion. In 8th grade those water resistant, sturdy and spacious bags with adorable monkey embellishments could finish any outfit; you could put on a kipling fanny pack with a tuxedo and go to the oscars. But the moment i put on that L.L Bean i looked an over-grown 9-year-old and I needed the bag so fashion was sacrificed. Thankfully, I didn't break my back trying to carry all of my crap using my inappropriate vuitton hand bag.

Fashion isn't everything. Sometimes we just have to be comfortable. And frankly, the poorgeosie (the rich kids who live in williamsburg and spend alot of money to look as if they didn't spend a dime), stacey london, karl lagerfel, and the rest of the elitist fashionistas who judge us can go suck it and all they need to do is put on a pair of sneakers and a back pack and remember that sometimes being comfortable may not be the most fashionable thing in the world but it can make us feel just as nice.

The cute oufit.

sort of ruined...yet simultaneously enhanced outfit with ll bean (sorry for the crazy eyes)

p.s. a lovely lady came up to me today and told me that my outfits brighten her day and she looks forward to seeing what im going to be wearing...she said the loveliest things. Now isn't that what clothing should always do? wear something tomorrow that is going to brighten someone else's day somewhow...or at the very least your own-but ur clothing should always do that anyway ;)

CON MUCHO AMOR,

LULULEMON runs my shit.

Firstly, I would like to say WELCOME. Max and I are thrilled to have you visiting.

Isn't amazing how much what we wear affects our daily life...or is it the other way around? Does it matter? Maybe. But here is what I know for sure. Clothing and what we wear (because with Max and I what we wear doesn't always constitute as clothing) is a subtle reminder of what we already know: who we are, or more importantly who we want to be.

WTF is the douche that wrote that?...oh yes, it was me. I apologize.

"I Should Have Just Worn a High Waisted Pant" is a place Where Max and I (Juan) give quippy daily recaps of what we wore that day. You may be asking yourself "why would I care what you wore that day?" The answer is simply that this is some interesting shit.

Today I wore Black Lululemon Pantsover a pair of black SPANX and black custom made jazz pant from "Class in Dance Shop," with an orange american apparel deep-V. I have to admit something LULULEMON runs my shit. I don't know why...but they do. The clothing is super over-priced and only sort-of-attractive BUT I LOVE IT. It makes me feel dressier than I actually am that day. And spanx well they don't run my shit, they are da shit. They smooth it out and tuck it in. Thank you JESUS. Overall I looked like a 25-year-old female yoga instructor who recently gained a lot of weight on her honeymoon, who has a lot of cash because she married an investment banker who started taking her class after he got gastric bypass. perfect.

the shoes were a sensible brooks running sneaker. very sharp-ish. very comfortable.

Tonight, I slutted it up and wore a true staple outfit in the house of JTF. A plaid steven alan shirt that i bought at the sample sale a couple of years ago with Melisa Basolo and apair of blue and white striped diesel short shorts that make daddy bears want a hot dog reeaalll bad. A green and white patent leather sperry top-sider with a gold watch (as per usual) finish the outfit.

In conclusion I probably would have looked better if
at some point today I had just worn a high waisted pant.

Love you all....please follow our Twitter.


XOXO,

Juan
