“God very often speaks to me through Christian Dior” -Gigi Stopper (GCB) John Galliano for Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2005 (at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)

If you’ve studied Galliano’s work as much as I have (or even half as much), you also noticed these awesome call-backs to his days at Dior. The guys are from today’s Maison Margiela Menswear show. The ladies are from the Christian Dior Spring 2006 Couture show. And now, taking a closer look at the pics, I noticed it’s kinda hard to tell which is which. 🤔 #GenderIsAConstructYo🤷🏾‍♂️

#TBT: Tanning my t’ighs in Tulum (at Tulum)

On Tuesdays, we post pictures of ourselves wearing pink outfits inspired by a look from Tom Ford’s Spring 2018 collection. Wednesdays are much easier to deal with... 😕

RA-RA’S LOOKS FOR LESS: TOM FORD • • • • • Yes, it is INDEED possible to acquire designer looks that fit your shape AND wallet! @voguerunway has basically been my go-to for seasonal wardrobe additions since college. It’s easy: find a look you like, search stores/websites for similar pieces within your budget and BOOM- you’re rocking a @tomford look without paying Tom Ford prices! 💁🏾‍♂️ Tom Ford = $7290 Re-creation = $535 And remember, you’re free to change up anything you want since YOU’RE the one wearing it (or if you live somewhere where it’s IMPOSSIBLE to find similar pieces). I live in hot-as-f*** Atlanta, so there’s no way in hell I’m rocking a velvet blazer over a sweater OVER a tee in the summer and, on another note, I couldn’t find any dark brown loafers I liked, so I went with some cool oxfords instead. Best thing about this re-creation, I’ve had that sweater for years. Money: SAVED! 😉👍 #RaRasLooksForLess

Hope everyone enjoyed/ is enjoying their weekend! ✌️😎☀️

#TBT to when I was just starting Short N Stout Blog I had an idea to be the face (or, at least, A face) of diminutive, plus-sized men’s style. I’ve definitely fallen off and let my vision slip into personal obscurity. But I think it’s time to get off my ass and start being someone right quick. #ItsOverForYouBitches

#Nochella style! Also, today marks the first day of 2018 that my legs have seen the sun! I’ve definitely put on a fair amount of fluff during hibernation, but we’ll see if I can’t take care of that and more before my summer trip. 😎 #SkysOutThighsOut #DogwoodFestival (at Atlanta Dogwood Festival)
