With Quarantine/COVID in full force, we have to go out in moderation.

Which usually means (at least for me) the weekends.

One of the most, if not THE most popular shoes right now are Air Jordan 1's.

It’s funny, I remember when these were once called the ugliest Jordan a while back but I guess every shoe will get its appreciation if the color way is right.

Let’s start with the drink of choice.

While I had a few different drinks, what was consistent was TEQUILA.

Yes, TEQUILA.

Drink responsibly for no tickets, clear skin and a good time.

We’ll go with an all time favorite of mine: TEQUILA SUNRISE.

Now, while the recipe is quite simple, tequila and orange juice....

The cute little sunrise piece that most of us may not have in our homes is Grenadine.

Official Recipe:

1 1/2 oz (3 parts) Tequila, 1/2 oz (1 part) Grenadine syrup, 3 oz (6 parts) Orange juice

Preparation: Pour the tequila and orange juice into glass over ice. Add the grenadine, which will sink to the bottom. Do not stir. Garnish and serve.

*If you're not able to measure, one shot is supposed to be a four second pour*

If you need tequila brands, I’ll list a few of my favorites at the end.

I have to mention these were different weekend occasions...

Meeting up with fellow Alumni
Catching up with some old friends
Father’s Day lunch

The shoe, the tube socks, the heat and the liquor stayed the same.

This year’s sundress season was a bust but a new starter kit outfit reigned supreme:

Biker shorts, an over-sized/graphic tee, a pair of sneakers and according to the tweet by @blaisetravis, crab legs too (see below)

(Crab legs fasho ain't have nothing to do with this uncalled for slander)

A way to show off your lower side lol, remaining comfortable and in trend (if you care about that). Throwing in a print or texture of some sort, whether it’s created or bought; is a good way to stand out among the masses.

THE PROCESS:

I picked out my shoes first, then coordinated accordingly.

We know red and green look nice together cause duh, Christmas. I was able to bridge the gap with the Gucci purse that wrapped everything together perfectly.
I wore yellow biker shorts to pull out the hint of yellow in the over-sized NASCAR shirt. Red ones’ to tie in the Red 88 and fanny pack. Last outfit, I pulled almost every color out of the shoes to make a complete outfit.
I knew the gold words would match the gold writing and although the purple colors were different, it coordinated with what was in the shoes along with orange (tube socks).
