Can you remember back when you were a child?

Can you recall any of the games you used to play?

Can you relive at least one of your most happiest moments?

No, so not much?

I’d be willing to bet that you can remember most of the rotten, unsavory moments that happened to you back then though. It is much easier for us all to remember the bad things, more than the majority of good. Why is that, do you think?

When we have been wronged, we seem to carry around with us for a very long time. When we have been celebrated, it seems to fade like Blue Jeans until, we forget altogether. So the question is, how do we get our happy moments back?

One technique I use, is to recall one of those dreadful moments in my childhood, then remember what it was that made that circumstance bearable, or what was the good that came out of it? That would invariably be a small, happy moment, but a happy moment nevertheless. And it is in these small, happy moments, that I collect together, until it seems, they create a path to at least one big, happy moment in my life. This primes my memory, and soon other good memories return and begin to resurface.

Memories from childhood can be gleaned, polished and written about. They can inspire characters to your stories. They can be a story in themselves, or spark brand new ones. Be they good or not so good memories, they have the ability to unlock your imagination in a multitude of ways. Pain and misery, joy and happiness, that’s life, we live it every day. Childhood memories, there are many roads that lead there, and many paths to follow. Writer’s Block, not me! I just remember and use my imagination.

White jeans are not only perfect for spring. They are also great clothing options for the summer. And with their natural disposition to other colors, they also have the advantage of being able to fit anything. But the challenge for any true blooded male has always been styling. So in this post, you will be taught how to enhance white jeans for men in such a way that will not compromise your masculinity or appeal.

a. Solid v-necks. You could never go wrong when you pair white pants with a plain colored shirt, whether it is blue, red, green, or black (although this may be ill-advised for the summer). They complement each other allowing themselves to pop out, without having to overwhelm the other. Solid colored shirts are quite easy to come by so you do not have to worry about where to get it.

b. Khaki or Denim jackets. This would be a perfect accent to white jeans when you are out at night or looking to shield your outfit from a light drizzle. They are meant for casual excursions or for that beach house party scene. Just be careful about getting a busy design too many pockets, buttons or patches because that may just rob your pants of its impact.

c. Collared long-sleeve shirts with stripes. If you want to look a little bit more esteemed, you could wear this top with white pants and look more like a preppy. Not a lot of men are able to pull this off. So be proud if you look good in it.

d. Solid fitted polo-shirt. Alternatively, you could wear a buttoned down shirt that has a semi-fit design to look a little bit more formal. The color choices will depend on whether or not you are going out during the day or night. A good transition color would be blue and green. Stick to this if you plan to be partying 24 hours this summer.

e. Black or White dress jacket. This would be more ideal to use when you are going to a swankier event wearing white jeans for men. Aside from enabling you to match specific upscale requirements during yacht soirees, you should add a little class to the laid back look white pants usually provide.

f. Bright and bold prints. If you are feeling a funky or have a more flamboyant personality, you could choose to wear neon colored tshirts or printed raincoats over your white jeans just to live out the summer spirit in your outfits. But as a general rule when it comes to fashion, always wear your age. It will look inappropriate and dowdy if you played out your style in the same way highschool students do when you are close to 40 years old.

e. Anything goes when it comes to the footwear. Boots, slippers, slip ons, tennis shoes, rubber shoes, sneakers, and so on. You could go with the standard black, white or brown; leather, canvas or suede. Or you could go with solid colors and prints. The choices are infinite. Just make sure it complements with your upper garment. And never forget that it serves as a punctuation mark to your whole look dare to make a statement.
