Outfit Inspiration: Steely Dan
Where do I begin with these guys... Well, they may be old now, but back in their heyday they really had funky beats. When I listen to Steely Dan I always get a feeling of slight relaxedness/badassery/drugaddicticus. With their music, they can go anywhere from super mellow slow jams, to haunting melodies about time's past. Steely Dan are an epic tribute to jazz-funk-rock from the early 1970's. That being said, I wanted to do a look that paid tribute to their retro-vintage, old fashioned (yet, new at the time) sound.
To me, Steely Dan represent a lost age. An age of fast paced, drug reeling, cruising the coast with a bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold kind of age. What that says to me is big sunglasses and classic-vintage 70's wear for the laid back partakers of the so called fine Columbian.

I wanted to create a casual look that really got the feeling of what I was aiming for. Hence the sued moccasins, Jim Morrison inspired necklace (made by me, for Joshua), high wasted jeans, big sunglasses, raccoon tail, and the vintage purse.
