back to the old-school wardrobe_remix shots in the hallway outside my apartment! off to go to the post office, and go thrift shopping. found a few gems (including an awesome knitting book of british sweater designs from 1982!).

! i got a LOT of looks from people concerning this outfit. very amusing! i feel really confident in it, though.

-tiny acid wash levi’s jacket: thrifted in florida. i probably wear this a little TOO often, but it’s my signature piece at the moment.
-tunic length tanktop: american apparel
-acid wash skirt: beacon’s closet. someone hacked it off with scissors. i like it like that so it’s staying that way.
-white rhinestone and studded leather 80s belt: thrifted in florida
-chartreuse green button grandma earrings: urban outfitters years and years ago
-patchwork-look needlepoint tote: thrifted in florida
-white peeptoe flats with green and red trim and a rainbow ribbon across the top: killah, found for £10 at a miss sixty sample sale off brick lane, london, last summer.

  1. Did you find a Starmore book? What is the title of the book– I must know!

    You are the acid wash queen. So awesome.


  2. I love this. You’re going to be singlehandedly responsible for the acid wash resurrection.


  3. I should send you the copy of Stitches in Time by Sue Bradley I got in a RAOK swap last year… you would likely get more use out of it than I ever will!

    The skirt compliments your jacket so nicely!


  4. ally: no, actually, it was this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345343417/104-1061711-0043163?v=glance&n=283155

    a book of sweater designs from designers who sold their sweaters and knitwear at local markets in london, and the like. it’s very 80s but i love many of the designs!


  5. Nice!
    Plus I got an email from Anessa about you… she said she is really bummed you are moving.
