When The Darkness Comes

What I'm Wearing: Blazer: Saks , Sweater: Calvin Klein, Scarf: Apt 9, Pants David Beckham for H&M, Shoes: Giorgio Brutini

Hello Everyone! Happy March & Happy Lent! Can you believe winter is almost over? Just 2 and a half more weeks and i'll be retiring my winter clothing for the next few months. As the months go by faster and the seasons change there is always some sort of darkness before we reach the light hearted Spring. There has been an insane amount of rain, snow, and flooding these past few weeks. It's been hard for me to find some time shoot with the dangerous weather outside. But luckily I found a Sunday morning to shoot before it started raining hard. Let's get into the details of this outfit, then let's talk about handling the contrast of the darkness and the rise of the light in our lives. 


I chose to wear 2 layers of clothing because let's face it, it's too cold outside. I am wearing a blazer from Saks 5th Ave and a sweater from Calvin Klein. I love how the color of the blazer blends with the color of the sweater! This whole outfit just blends perfectly together color and style wise.  This Saks blazer and CK sweater is one of my fave combos, I truly love both pieces so much and I wear the blazer often. Next up is pair of dress pants from the David Beckham collection at H&M. I love these pants and the great design on them. You can use these pants in many different ways throughout all the seasons of the year! That's one great thing about them, you don't have to retire them after a season ends. Lastly my shoes are from Giorgio Brutini. Sticking with the color of this look, the shoes are black and blue. I love the beautiful design of these shoes, it really ties together this whole look. 

I hope you like my 2nd to last winter outfit here on mrdombaza.com. I wanted to make sure I highlight the dark weather we have been getting. When I put this outfit together I thought of the dark and how sometimes we have to go through dark phases of our lives to reach the beautiful light waiting for us at the end of the tunnel. Last week I had a really shitty week, excuse my language but it honestly was really bad. It's storming, my phone broke, I wasn't able to get a new phone, my passport was denied, my plans to go overseas canceled, my personal life was put into jeopardy , and I reached the 3 year mark since I lost part of my eyesight in my right eye on February 24, 2013. As I reached the 24th of February I was fed up, emotional, and just a mess. Reflecting on the bad week I had, plus the 3 years of clouded hell with this disease was very overwhelming for me. As I looked back on that Friday night, I thought a lot about the darkness. I thought about the bad week I had, and I said myself, I had a shitty week, a difficult 3 years, but look at me, look at Dom Baza, who is he now? After getting diagnosed with a disease with no cure, after loosing the things I worked for in a career I still yearn and thrive for, after loosing the people I thought would be there for me at the end of the day, who am I? I am Dom Baza; I am still a singer, I am a passionate songwriter, I have a passion for fashion and expressing how I feel through my outfits, I have a disease that can tear me down on some days, I have family and loved ones that still loves me regardless of a disease and who I am, I still have my fans aka my domanators who have stuck by me on this journey, I still have my voice that I will some how find a way to make it be heard, I still have my drive and passion that will shape the rest of my life and careers, I still have all control of my heart and soul, and I still have the hope and will to fight so I can reach my light at the end of the tunnel. With all the reflecting I did I wrote a song called "Fall Into Place". It's basically every emotion and thought I've had through the darkest parts of my life. I believe in fairytales and happy endings. I believe you have to work for your fairytale, I believe you have to hope and have faith, I believe you have to fight through every page aka every day so you can get that happy ending. In the song I wrote a lyric, "Every fairytale has darkness in some way". And as the winter ends the darkness can take over, but once spring comes that little bit of light is waiting to shine down so we can keep turning the pages of the story until we reach our happy ending. Every fairytale may have darkness in some way, but theres always room for a happy ending. 

Thank you all for stopping by to read what I have to say and reflect with me. I hope you like this outfit and everything I have to say. I'll see you guys in a few days. Never stop fighting and never give up hope. Don't let the darkness win and define who you are and the life you live. The sun will always find a way to come out, tomorrow.

Love, Dom

You look so chic and polished Dom! Love this look!
And about the weather... I mean, it has been crazy crazy! Glad you found time to shoot something! I need to catch up with my pics and it's about to get nasty again in Chicago, so I know I'll freeze haha

Also, this is a beautiful post Dom. There's no secret I'm a huge fan of yours and how you write. We all have bad weeks, or days or even months and years... But you know what I've learned? That usually those bad things start with bad moments; minutes or even seconds that we just carry around and since we don't heal right away, they become bigger.

I love that you're writing about this and I'm sorry that you had a rough week, but I admire you for being able to stay focused on the good things you have going on for you. I'm certain that if you keep going through life living with your heart, you will accomplish all the things you want!
I needed to read this... I needed to be reminded to stay focused on the good!
Have a great week Dom!

Dear Dom, I'm thankful for your courage, because that courage prevents you from focusing on the dark places you've been in. I look up at you, at your tender yet fierce character which keeps you sharing your valuable insight and impeccable style with your domanators. Thanks to you I have got to know some awesome people who value friendship and honesty. Rare qualities I'm afraid. You have always a kind comforting word for everyone even when you are having a bad day. And in spite of what your illness puts you through, you never fail to come up with wise words, impeccable style and utmost charme. Lest I should get even more emotional, let me talk of your outfit. Classic, high-quality staples never go out of fashion as you pointed out. This gentlemanly look is full of charme, and let me compliment again your photographer for the outstanding pictures. Although I now consider myself as your friend, my words of appreciation are totally unbiased. Great job Dom!

Dear Dom,

You are always so thoughtful when you write each post. Not one word is put in as a filler. I would really love to hear your new song Fall Into Place. I believe in fairy tales and happy endings, but as you said, you have to work for it. And if you didn't go through hardships, you would never know true happiness. God doesn't give you anything you cannot handle. Just as winter is slowly fading and the dawn on spring is breaking, there will be better days. Never stop hoping. Always have faith!

Love,
Jen

Love this classy, layered look Dom. I loved reading this post because we all go through moments like these and it's good to be reminded that we're not the only ones. Way to put a positive spin on things though. The weather has truly been crazy on my end too - warm one minute, cold the next, then rain, then sun. Just a bundle of confusion. Hope you have great week! Keep your head up babe!

Dear Dom,
My brother, this is incredibly inspiring, amazing and I seriously am going to have to read this again and again. The outfit, well, you had me at David Beckham. Love that collaboration with H&M! Who am I kidding ? I just love David Beckham. But I digress. Honestly , you layered this like a pro ( which you are ) and the black and blue shoes are gorgeous! So European!
As far as the weather and the Fairy Tale , as usual your reflection is outstanding! It's true! Every fairy tale will have its darkness and it's all about what we choose to work for !
And I know you truly believe this.
Thank you so much, dear brother, for this amazing inspiring piece.
Love always,
Your sister Jenny

Dear Dom,

Darkness is an inevitable part of our life and as much of a cliché it sounds, we need the darkness in our life to be able to determine what's positive and bright in our lives. And thinking of fairytales, the Grimm brother's tales are everything but jolly, but they do have a morale in them. What I'm blabbering about is that life isn't a fairytale, but there are fairytale moments and fairytale endings are not imaginary. They actually exist. :)
As for your style I love that you've chosen pieces from the H&M x Beckham collection (which I adore) and you've made the best of the shooting conditions I think most of us have been experiencing lately no matter where we are due to this bipolar weather.

Love your look head to toe, chic and sophisticated at the same time! The way you styled your pieces is beyond perfect, you create the perfect balance between them. I agree with you that time flies and now it's the time to put away all the pieces that you wore to stay bundled up but you know what: I'm motre than ready for Spring!

Have a nice day!
