Double Denim





Vintage blazer, Gap tee, Current/Elliott The Legging jeans, vintage boots, Urban Outfitters charm necklace and other random jewelry; Ralph Lauren oxford, thrifted Forever 21 jeans, vintage Frye boots, borrowed belt and cuff, gifted ring

What I wore on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I won the Current/Elliott jeans from a giveaway on Fashion + Geometry, and due to some sizing issues and necessary exchanges they arrived at long last on Monday. Aside from being the most expensive article of clothing that I own, they are tissue thin, deliciously soft, and a perfect fit. I never really considered myself a designer jeans kind of girl, but I love them. Thanks again to Nora and the Chickdowntown ladies for being so sweet and accommodating!

I discovered the second pair of jeans while volunteering at the thrift shop (which, by the way, might be the sweetest gig I have ever scored). Working there three days a week means that I theoretically get dibs on the news items that come in, which is how I scored these jeans - and for five dollars, no less! After careful examination, I have decided that they're the perfect shade of blue.

This morning I toured Brown University with Sylvia. It was only my first college visit, but I might just be in love.

P.S. Three cheers to fifty followers. You guys make me really happy.

two great outfits: The first one has amazing proportions (love the jewelery too), and the second is just so classic. The jeans are just the right color and the boots are wonderful. And everybody needs a perfect white button down.
