80s rocker style

The Unlikeliest Style Source

Maybe it’s because I spent a few too many summer afternoons in a Midwest garage that hosted adult parties to the tune of rock and roll, maybe it’s because my signature move was to be a “pleasure to have in class” and I’m on a life-long journey to subvert this version of myself, and maybe it’s just because it’s simply that good, but one of my biggest sartorial influences is that of the 80s punk rocker.  In this very specific case, a la Johnny Ramone.

Is it me or does this look just as wearable right now (or even more so?) than the year it was taken?  

Facing an un-rock-and-roll day of editing and minutiae, I decided to at least let my outfit have some fun.
