While unpacking my college attire, it has come to by attention that I own way too many articles of clothing. However that doesn't mean I give them all equal treatment, au contraire. There are always those items that get worn again and again when in a certain mood/frame of mind. Now that summer is here, the frame I am in, is a mix of worn-in, and glitz. Here are some of the items I currently have in high rotation and/or looking forward to wearing asap.
1. Bright tangerine loose button down top; purchased at Salvation Army.
2.
Matte Watch Sunglasses; purchased in the men's department of Urban Outfitters:
3. Straw Fedora; purchased on the streets of the West Village last summer, after a particularly rowdy brunch.
4. Levi's; purchased at Salvation Army, that were cut, ripped and bleached by yours truly.
5. Urban Outfitters Tank; neon yellow, perfect compliment to a tan.
6. Vintage pendant; purchased at Green Eyed Lady in West Chester.
7. Friendship bracelet!
8. Vintage bracelets; gold purchased at Green Eyed Lady, turquoise purchased in Paris.
9. Sparkle Studs; purchased at Urban Outfitters.
10. Cream bag; I am currently putting a gold chain strap on this; purchased from H&M.
11. Berkenstocks; say what you will, but these shoes are darn comfy, and I think with the right outfit can look even chic.
While I acquired items from all over; from Europe to the men's section, what they have in common is that they all bring a carefree, laid back attitude...and make use of one of my favorite things; COLOR! I suggest trying a mix of bright colors, with faded denim and sparkley jewels from a perfect high and low look for summer.
And if you want more details of how to make your own bleach,ripped,destroyed shorts from mom jeans, let me know!
