sweater: theory jeans: stella mccartney jacket: vintage shoes: zara

Who else packs a suitcase full of clothes then proceeds to buy all new outfits when on vacation? That's precisely what happened here. I actually brought two suitcases of clothes back to Chicago and in the end I wore something I bought that day from Nordstrom rack. These pants are my everything and I can't believe they weren't scooped up instantly. I paired them with a short sleeve sweater, which are strangely elusive. I love a nice summer sweater and this one from Theory was heavily discounted at the rack because it was altered. How it was altered I will never know, but I'm glad I got to take advantage of that sweet deal. The jacket is another story. I finally got around to hitting up a vintage spot in Noble Square that I have been stalking for months. It stocks vintage streetwear brands like Karl Kani, Cross Colors, and even some old Supreme. It only further proved for me that even though streetwear has that it factor right now, it has and always will be there whether or not that fashion flock has decided to incorporate it into their seasonal wardrobe. This jacket in particular is vintage Calvin Klein, another brand that infamously eternal. And what such special occasion brought together this cast of characters? It was my sister's bridal shower, where I deemed myself too cool to wear anything other than jeans. Hence this uptown meets downtown look was born. I mean it's 2017 guys. A girl can wear jeans and vintage Calvin Klein to a formal event without raising any eyebrows. More to come!

shirt: nasty gal jeans: steven alan shoes: adidas x raf simons

Oh wow! Another all denim outfit! I'm really going out of my comfort zone on this one. This shirt is one of my favorite things I own from the new defunct Nasty Gal. I got it when I was in L.A. and have worn it on a weekly basis ever since. These jeans and shoes are new. Bully for that. I'm very, very tempted to crop them and make them shorter, but I'm trying to refrain because I think in a couple months I'm going to be distraught that ever single pair of denim I own has an unfinished hem. Now let's discuss my favorite part of this outfit, the shoes. I wanted them for a really long time, but refuse to pay more than $200 on sneakers based on principle. These ones went on double markdown at Opening Ceremony, but I still couldn't pull the trigger. Then the OC sample sale brought them back into my life at a price I never dreamed of. And then the yellow shoes became a staple. I was wearing them the other day and stepped in a puddle. Have you ever felt your soul leave your body because in that moment I did. I guess that's the point of sneakers, especially canvas ones like this. You're supposed to dirty them up. I just love a good clean sneaker in a constantly dirty city. Until now, I'll still be scrubbing my J's with a toothbrush (Drake really didn't have to come for me like that). It's also worth noting that this lipstick is the one Jessa wears in the final season of Girls. Jemima Kirke tweeted out the name and I immediately purchased it like the good hypebeast I am. Allright, I'm done. More to come!

coat: adam selman jumpsuit: madewell shoes: vans x opening ceremony

I am pleased to announce that I finally own an Adam Selman piece! I got this coat at a sample sale and have not worn anything since. I like how it makes me look like Cruella deVille, plus it's reversible so it's like I got two coats in one. I even had someone stop me on the street to ask if it was Adam because he's a close friend. I almost cried. I pair my prized possession with a jumpsuit from Madewell because at this point I own every iteration of denim made by that company. Top it all off with some velcro Vans and we have urban farmer chic. This was one of the first nice days in NYC since December, hence why I finally got around to taking more outfit photos and wearing something other than a huge sweater and boyfriend jeans. I will be sad to retire this coat once the weather warms up, mostly because then I won't be able to talk about Adam Selman frequently in conversation with strangers. This jumpsuit, however, is sure to last me well into spring and again next winter. More to come!
