Let The Rain Fall

F21 leather jacket. H&M knit vest and bag. Hanes V-neck. Tyte Jeans. Steve Madden shoes.

Finally, some water in the sky! I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to wake up to a gray sky and to put on more than one article of clothing on top! I am also always very happy when I wear this jacket, it's grown to be my favorite. So comfortable and functional. I actually love this outfit entirely. (I've worn it a few times.) I hope this weather sticks around, because I have so many more cold-weather outfits planned!

I Know I Know I Know

Thrifted tank, vintage shredded denim shorts, F21 sandals.

Southern California has been an absolute oven these past few days. Monday, it was 113 degrees. Um, eww! I hate hot weather almost as much as I hate flip-flop wedges. Since it's been hot, I've been wearing nothing but tank tops with either short-shorts or loose, lightweight pants. I hope mother nature decides to stop this soon, though. Till then, it's barely-there clothes and Mocha Ice Storms from Nordstrom's coffee bar.

I got these shorts at Wasteland on my birthday and haven't worn them till today. They are beyond over the top. They are also beyond big. I need to find a good black belt for them. And the sandals.. haven't posted. Ever. Which is odd because I wear them almost everyday. They were on sale when I bought them but debated wether they were right to buy, as they are a little S&M. I bought them anyways (obviously).

Structure

Vintage bag. Vintage shirt and F21 jeans.

This bag reminds me of the briefcase-looking bags at Celine this season. I love the combination of brown and black, and I love the gold hardware. The strap was actually added by me from one of my older bags I used to wear in high school. (This one was sold sans strap.) I think you could either go two ways with this bag. One: doing the wannabe-Alexa Chung thing and wearing a white shirt, cargo shorts, sandals, a panama hat and a printed scarf as many girls in Orange County do or Two: doing the minimalist thing and paring it with solid color pieces (like my all blue denim) or with a neutral jacket/pant combo. I intend to shoot for the second option.

Everything I Wanted To

Thrifted Nautica cargo jacket. Tripp vynil pants (that I cut into shorts.) F21 sunglasses.

Right off the heels of a fabulous thrift spree yesterday (four amazing items, $12 total spent. This jacket is one of those amazing items.) Can't wait to show the rest!
