Jersey City is full of stylish people, which means I might never run out of people to write about! Daniel Joseph is definitely one of them, this kid got some major swag! I found Dan on Facebook through mutual friends. A particular picture of him caught my eye, a selfie of him wearing fitted pants, a button up shirt and a skinny tie. I have never seen a 24 year old dressed so impeccably! When I found out he was raised in Jersey City I knew I wanted to meet him and find out more. We met in front of hangout spot/hair salon/community center Balance Salon….Dan’s got some major swag and he is such a doll!
