Outfit of the Day!

This is my T.G.I.F. Look

This is my outfit that I chose to wear around campus today. I must say, I have receiving some wonderful comments. I was trying to color block but at the same time I did not want to stray away from the main colors. 

Today, I am wearing a light-blue George shirt that I had purchased from Walmart (they really have nice dress shirts). I am wearing a powdered pink bow-tie that I purchased from Ninos; their bow-ties range around twenty to thirty dollars). I also have on a navy blue Polo baseball cap. My top portion of my ensemble is completed with a navy blue Abercrombie & Fitch sweater wrapped around my neck. The bottom portion of today's outfit is adding more contrast with my green shorts I purchased from Dillard's- the belt actually came with the shorts (YAY ME!). To add more pink, I am wearing some powdered pink socks that I have also purchased from Walmart. And lastly, I have on a pair of gold-brown colored shoes that I purchased online.

I just love fashion because I love to mix and match. I also love the way it makes me feel when I receive compliments- not to say that I NEED compliments- but I love them. Ever since I was a child, I always had a knack for fashion. I mainly gravitate toward the business savvy look or the hey-I'm-a-professional-golfer look. I basically like to look professional with a hint of my own personal touches. Needless to say, fashion is of utmost importance in my life.

Deed or No Deed

If Someone Dropped Some Money, Would You Tell Them or Keep it For Yourself????

So, I had to go to work at 3:00 PM today and I got in my car around 2:15 PM. As I was driving out of the parking lot, I noticed a fellow college student walking to class. I almost drove past her doing 10 mph, and I noticed that some money fell out of her pocket. The first thing that came to my mind was, "OOOH! Money!" But my conscience told me to tell that person that her money was on the ground. I proceeded to tell her that her money fell out of her pocket and she gave me a big "Thank you." As I drove off, I though about how good it made me feel for participating in this good deed. It felt like God warmed up my heart and gave me a big hug. So what would  you have done?????? 

Tweet of the Day

[This happens to me a LOT!]

Not all men do this, but everyone has experienced this before.

Most gentlemen often call women someone else's name. It has been proven. It may not be intentional, but it is disrespectful to a certain degree. I have called one girl another girl's name yesterday and she said to me, "What did you call me?" I felt so bad and it dawned on me that her name was Mia. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Gentlemen, we have to do better.

Business Savvy for Everyday College Look

This is what I love to do- dress up. Ever since I was a young boy, I always wanted to look mature. Earlier this year, I read on a wall in a barber shop, "When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you do good." After reading that, I really became inspired. With the business savvy look, you can mix and match so many different things. You can choose from hundreds of different ties, shirts and coats. 

Here I am wearing a key lime George shirt, a blue floral tie, and a gray Ralph Lauren blazer. This made me feel the Oh-I-am-the-president-of-a-popular-company attitude.Stay tuned as I will post more fashion blogs in the immediate future.

Joan Rivers Comes For Kim Kardashian!

 So, it seems that Joan Rivers has made a joke about Kim Kardashian that I personally found funny. She tweets about Kris Jenner's iPhone case that says "Queen of F*cking Everything" and she then excludes the "everything" and points it towards Kim Kardashian. Oh Joan, I simply love you.

DENIM DAY AT HBCUs

           

 Today is April 24, 2013. It is also Denim Day at HBCUs and today marks the fifth Denim Day At HBCUs.. Denim Day is simply an effort to an HBCU project called Ending Violence Against Women (EVAW). People around campus have been coming  to me asking, "What is Denim Day?" or, "What is Denim Day about?" For those who do not know about Denim Day or would like to know more about Denim Day, please keep reading.

The History of Denim Day

                 In 1992, an 18-year old girl was taking driving lessons from her 45-year old driving instructor for her very first time. The instructor drives her to an isolated road and forcefully rapes her. He pulls her out of the vehicle, wrestles her out of one leg of her denim 

jeans, and rapes her. He threatened to kill her if she said a word to anybody. She then tells her parents when she returned home that night. The girl's parents begin to support her to press charges. Her driving instructor was arrested and prosecuted; he was also convicted and sentenced to jail. He then appeals the sentence.

                This particular case makes it all the way to the Italian Supreme Court and within a matter of days the case against the driving instructor was dismissed, overturned, and he was released from jail.

Why Denim?

                This particular statement was released by the Italian Supreme Court Chief Judge declared; "because the victim wore very, very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them... and by removing the jeans... it was no longer rape but consensual sex."

My Thoughts

I feel that it was unethical and immoral to dismiss a case like that. He could have had a gun held to her head and threatened to shoot her had she not helped him remove her jeans. I feel that courts don't think about things like that. And my condolence goes out to that girl and every woman who has been raped before. I deeply am sorry that you women have to go through this. I'm wearing this shirt for you.

Sincerely, Gerald Green
