#loaferlife

I searched long and hard for the perfect pair of loafers, and the perfect red-striped shirt. The hat is "coyote" colored.

And I quote, "you look like a little boy, but in a cute way". 

I'm Into Hats Now

Raws, pink Ked look-a-likes, striped crop, taupe cardigan, and hundreds hat in burgundy 

Because in California, You Can

          

Army-green high-waisted H&M pants, taupe cardigan, black crop top, sensible pointed heels and watch necklace. 

Simple

White shirt, raw denims, brown belt, Wolverines with camel-colored wool socks, green hat. 

(Fun fact: the hat was commissioned by the U.S. government for use by the Department of Defense)

Wolverine: 1000 Mile

I've wanted these shoes since August 2013--and I finally gave in and bought them in December of the same year.

  

Brand new in the box:

                                       

The first day:

Two month check in, February 2014 (almost daily use)

Raws: Back and Better Than Ever

I took my Cheap Mondays into Self Edge--a store that specializes in raw denim in San Francisco (and now in Portland)--and they fixed my raws! They made me wash them before I brought them in, and that brings them to 2 washes in 2 and a half years (3 years in January).  They were a little tight getting back into them after the wash and the fix (and the patched spot feels a little like wearing a diaper) but they stretched back out in a couple of wears.  

I'm excited to have them back!

Raws: A New Saga

It was time for a new pair of raw denim.
I wanted a similar fit to my Cheap Monday's (high rise, skinny leg) but wanted a new brand to try out, a  different pair to wear in.  So here we have: Nudies, High Kai.  The women's fit.

A Moment of Raw Silence

Purchased in January 2011 in Portland, OR

Worn many days in many cities, in all types of weather

A zipper replaced restored them to all proper functionality

Washed once in February, 2012. 

Met their demise in the streets of San Francisco, August 2013

All the Rage

Purple. that is.

Pedal Pushers

I quite enjoy this outfit. 

Tight Taste

I've been getting into nylons a lot...this pair is dark grey and can be found at H&M for oh so cheap.

The Layered Look

I've gotten quite a few comments on my "beetle juice" tights, and am on the search for just the right outfit to pair them with.

Old Glory

Love 'em or hate 'em, they're here, and they're real. 

Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice!

I tried them on as a joke, bought them because they weren't joking anymore. 

Lace-up black boots, faux-leather hotpants, long sleeve white button-up, white sweater vest and a jean vest does just the trick!

Summer Fashion (on the Spring side of things)

I bought this shorts with high anticipation for summer: I broke 'em out a little early.  

High-waisted shorts with tights and boots (for warmth)

50's style striped tank top with sweater

Greys, whites, and yellows
