Denim Checks

Wearing: Current/Elliot Jeans | Marc by Marc Jacobs Shirt | Vintage Blazer - Similar | ASOS Baseball Cap | Alexander Wang Pumps 

Denim on denim is never overkill in my opinion, and I think most you can agree. The outfit inspiration behind the above was simply me wanting to bring out the green in the plaid using the green in my new wang pumps. The obvious choice would be all black and probably something leather, but I was feeling rather spunky yesterday (which meant not being afraid of a little color for me). Don't worry though, Sunday I'll be posting an all black outfit again {blarg}.  

Good One

Wearing: REASON Tee | Amarcord Leather Jacket - Similar | Vintage Plaid Pants - Similar | ACNE Booties | Blue&Cream Beanie 

The other day I was bopping in and out of my favorite East Village stores when I came across a new one that struck my attention with one of those tee's in the window that combined the Chanel logo and f****. That's where I found this guy, my new Céline Dion shirt {insert ironic giggle}. I kinda love it. It's also been pretty warm out in NYC lately (for winter) so I was glad to be able to wear my favorite leather jacket. Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I've been sick :/ As always, TGIF.

Grounded

Wearing: Zara Pants and Blazer | Dana Faith Hand Chain | Gypsy Warrior Sunnies | American Apparel Beanie | Converse   

When I saw the December Zara lookbook I knew I had to try this tartan suit. I'm not one to ever, ever wear a suit or something that matches as much as this does, but I kinda dig it. What do you guys think of suiting up - and more specifically, a full hot pink suit (I think that's what I'll try next). 

Puddle Jumping

Wearing: Uniqlo Pants | Joes Jeans Shirt | Urban Renewal Vest | YSL Shoes 

In the spirit of puddle jumping (whatever that means) I bring you some plaidspiration. I couldn't believe these UNIQLO pants were only $20, and had clearly been searching for the perfect pair of plaid pants in all the wrong places (thanks Serena). I've also been lusting over long silhouettes lately, like this simple black vest that adds just the right hight to any outfit.

On Abbot Kinney

Wearing: Vintage Dress - Similar | Amarcord Jacket | Rebecca Minkoff Bag - Similar | The2Bandits Cuffs

I've been working with a good friend of mine lately, Michael from the street-style blog On Abbot Kinney, to produce some awesome pics for you guys - so I hope you like it. I'm obsessed with this new Rebecca Minkoff tote I picked up at the sample sale yesterday (and it's still going on so hurry over)! After spotting this UNIF plaid skirt online a few weeks ago, I went on hunt for a version of it (in vintage). I think I hit the nail on the head with this find right? For some reason I just get so much pleasure out of finding the look for less - well who doesn't - but especially finding a contemporary fashion trend in vintage clothing, to me is #winning.

TGIF

Wearing: Forever21 Pants | Vintage Vest - Similar | Topshop Booties

TGIF - who's ready for Halloween weekend to start!? I'm dying to see what everyone is going as this year... At first, I was thinking well obviously I'm going as Gangnam Style's Psy but then I forgot about the reason girls like me love Halloween so much. There's no denying it, I love an excuse to put away all my man-repellant fashion and dress in those... "man-getter" ways. Here's a hint for my costume: contacts from this website are being used. Stay tuned because I will definitely be posting a ton of pics this Saturday night on my Instagram account @weworewhat. 

Check Mate

 

Wearing: MFJewels DIY Plaid Shirt | Tsemaye Binitie Leather Pants | Topshop Boots

When feeling lazy, all I want to do is throw on an oversized top and some comfy sweats, but this NYC people. Laziness is no excuse. So this is a version of laziness I put together - plaid top, leather pants, flat ankle boots, beanie. I really love how this shirt was DIY'd and it's so simple too. Just dip an oversized flannel into bleach and voilà.

Ordinary Day

Wearing: Current/Elliot Jeans | BDG Shirt - Similar | Vintage Chanel Bag | Converse Shoes

Dressing casual is one of the most underrated ways to leave your house. Jeans, and oversized button down, and converse paired with a vintage Chanel - is the definition of casual-luxury and I love it. 

This weekend I'm off to LA for part two of the BarIII Flea Market Tour with Aimee of SongofStyle. So if anyone is in LA and wants to come say hi, we'll be at the Pasadena flea all day Sunday! Just look for the BarIII pop-up shop.
