Hi, fam! It’s definitely been a minute. I admit I’ve been blowing it in regards to posting – I haven’t posted anything since mid-September. Not okay.
Anyways. Here to talk about really the only thing that’s become my life as of late – #MERCH. For those of you who don’t know – yes, some have asked me what “merch” is – merch is short for merchandise.
Merriam-Webster defines merchandise as the following –
Now that we’re all up to speed, my focus is on concert and rapper #MERCH. It truly makes up 95% of my wardrobe. What #MERCH am I wearing today? Check it below –
I copped this at Jay-Z’s opening night of his 4:44 Tour in Anaheim at the Honda Center on Friday, 10/27. And the concert was freaking amazing BTW. I bought the Paris edition because they didn’t have LA. They were selling Brooklyn and New York versions, but I thought Paris was the most unique. And it reminded me of Watch The Throne, and I miss Kanye and Jay-Z together sooooo. Yes, I think that much into my #MERCH purchases.
#MERCH RATING
Quality: AMAZING. Seriously, this is not your standard janky t-shirt that you feel is going to fall apart after one wash. Well done, Hov.
Design: Now I’m no fashion designer or stylist, but I’m giving you my opinions anyway.
Color: I definitely don’t have a piece of #MERCH in a peach or tan colorway so glad to add this to my collection. Not sure it’s the best color on me as sometimes I appear to be jaundice in yellow / tan colors. IDGAF. I like it.
Front: Clean and simple.
Back: I wish I would have gotten a better look at the back of the other city’s shirts so I could compare, but I was a few beers in and don’t remember. I like it though. Black and white, newspaper vibes.
Sleeves: It may be a little much to have “4:44” on one sleeve and “Jay:Z” on another, but because the front of the shirt is so simple, I think it works.
Tag: Love, love, love a custom shirt tag. It makes the shirt that much more meaningful.
Cost: $50 – This isn’t bad for the quality. Trussssss mi. The quality is v good and well worth the price. And the concert ticket was free so all is good.
What will I wear next Monday? Wait on iiiiiiit.
Last Sunday I ventured to the OVO pop-up shop Drake is hosting in Los Angeles. Like most pop-up shops or really any urban clothing store, they are very small inside. I approached the door, only to be stopped by a security/bodyguard type man, if you will, sporting an OVO t-shirt. I patiently waited until a few customers left, and it was my turn to go inside. Drake visited the shop on April 8, and I had to think that if I was there on that day, I would have fainted. The store is so small, we could have literally bumped into each other. ANYWHO. Check out some pictures below. And you know I had to buy something – the checkout bag is even OVO-approved.
