My adventure to King Koby

Hi guys if you have read some of my other posts you will know that in 2015 I am trying to smarten up my image  I've always had a laid back sort of look, it's what I feel most comfortable in, but it's time to change things up I think I'm 32 and now I have entered in to the blog world I've come to notice that everyone is dressed so nice and a lot attention is taken over appearance. They all look great  I think a lot of it is down to me being lazy. I mean I'm the sort of guy who can just roll out of bed have a quick wash, brush my teeth, put my clothes on and just go out whether it be to work or just out for a bit  It's not normally till a few hours later that I'll notice what state my hair is in. Sometimes it can be really bad so my beanie hats get a lot of use, but on...

A Close Shave by Bearded Colonel

Hi guys for those who haven't noticed from my profile - I have a beard and it's been growing now for around 7 months, maybe a bit more, check out my beard progress on my Twitter page found here I've always had stubble but never a full beard  My beard is not the thickest but I think it looks OK and I get plenty of comments from people saying they like it and that I suit it. Which is cool because it's here to stay  The reason it's not the thickest I think is that when I was just a guy with stubble I never used to clean shave  I always just trimmed it, maybe grade 1 or 2, and have been doing this for at least 10 years now  I don't know if it's true or not but people say if you shave more your hair gets thicker!  I like my beard but...

A New me

I So for my 3rd outfit post I wanted to write about something which is totally out of the norm for me. But something that I would love to do more of in the future. That is -Dress smart  I will be honest with you I do own a suit but it's the one I got married in. It wasn't the most expensive suit in the world in fact it was really cheap from Matalan  But as we eloped to get married, and at that time money was really tight, it was all I could afford But I really liked the suit and wouldn't have wanted to get married in anything else.  But in true Carl style I got married in a pair of nice pumps  As this is my only suit, the pants and shirt get a lot of use, especially on special occasions. I'm coming to the age now where I feel I should smarten my ...

Smart casual

If you have read my other posts you will know I don't dress like your average 32 year old  But if you haven't take a look  here  and here I live in casual clothes most of the time - its only the odd occasion where I kind of smarten my self up a bit But since I have started blogging I have noticed that a lot of the male bloggers look amazing and are always dressed really smart. I must admit I am a bit jealous So as my last outfit post was about the casual outfit I would wear I think I'd better do one a little bit smarter. You never know I may get invited to a bloggers meet up or maybe an event so it would be nice to smarten up a little - but not too much. I wear clothes that I think look good and I feel most comfortable in and if others think I look daft then never...

Dressing Casual for

I wanted to do a fashion post but was unsure what fashion route I wanted to go down for my first one  Do I go for the easy option by doing one with the top brands I could never afford  Or do go through the high street store web sites and pick out clothes that everybody else wears  No chance!  One, I will never be able to buy all the top bands  And two I'm not one to shop in the high streets stores, I'm more of an independent label kinda guy Then I had to decided what sort of look I would go for Do I go casual?  Do I go for the smart look?  Do I go smart casual? Or maybe something to wear on a night out? Or do I even do what I think looks good on the opposite sex? Then I had to think about what sort budget I could use to make it realistic ...

Do I dress too young?

A long long time ago when I was in my youth I went through many phases which effected my dress sense more that I ever knew now I think about it. When I look back at photos of when I was really young I cringe. For some reason my parents seemed to think that me and my brother were twins even though he was two years older. Every holiday photo we had on matching vest,shorts and Velcro pumps  the only things we had on different were  our bum bags and tie around the neck coin holders. But the differance was only a change in colour. I bet I know what you are thinking poor kids! And before u ask that's not me modeling in the photo. Moving on to my teens. I mainly had to wear what I got handed down to me but in fairness my brother who I got them off...
