Usually I take my own outfit photos …but these are courtesy of my brother 🙂
What I’m Wearing
* Vintage turquoise kimono jacket from Osaka, Japan, about 1979. …My pseudo-grandma, Masumi, brought this fabulous little kimono back from Japan in the late 70’s as a gift for my mom. I snatched it from my mom about ten years ago and for some reason lately it has been on my mind. It has so much more detail in person.
* J Brand 914 low-rise cigarette leg in ink – jeans
* James Perse white long sleeve jersey top …in all actuality, I would have preferred a different top with this but for some reason I have very few white shirts/tops …which now is at the top of my list of things I “need”.
* Vintage necklace {made it longer by attaching a Gucci chain/charm necklace to it} …was my grandma’s …the Italian one, on my mom’s side where many of my other vintage jewelry and clothes are from. Wow, how is it that I am just realizing that both of the grandma’s I loved and grew up with had absolutely no blood relation? My mom was adopted {as was her brother, my uncle, who is Mexican} and my dad’s mom died before I was born. My grandpa {on dad’s side} met Masumi in Japan while touring {he’s a drummer}. We’ve always had sushi on Christmas Eve. I have a surprisingly diverse family. It’s kind of awesome really.
* Silver shoes I DIYed last year to look like the YSL cage heels.
I bought two new pairs of jeans over the weekend and I can’t wait to get them. I’ve been wearing the same few pairs {including the ones above} for over 3 years now …and I’ll probably continue to do so …but I needed a few new washes to throw in the mix. So I picked up a pair of True Religion “Billy”s & Paige Premium Denim “Debonair”. Am I the only one who does 99% of her shopping online? It’s just so much easier in my opinion and usually, it’s free shipping. How can you go wrong, really?
