Vote for Pedro


Just because I don't write a blog post every day doesn't mean I've stopped wearing mom jeans! Also, I realizes that it would be way more fashion forward if I called them "boyfriend" jeans, but let's not fool ourselves. I can't wait until the dark denim on these starts to fade with wear and mold to my body. This outfit is essentially the cornerstone of my own brand of winter dressing: super casual, jeans, lots of black, quirky gem sweater and heavy boots. I guess when you find something that works for you, it's impossible to let go. But the real exciting part of this outfit is what's underneath...

This excellent t-shirt is a celebration of my perpetual state of (post) teen angst, hand screen printed by Emma of The Emma Edition. I purchased it because its so awesome to see real teens actually getting up off the hypothetical couch covered in Cheeto dust to craft their own t-shirts and nothing deserves more support than young, independent artists - even if they're just making/selling t-shirts. However, I must point your attention to the disturbing unintentional similarities this outfit has to Napoleon Dynamite when he campaigns in his 'Vote for Pedro' shirt. WEIRD. Also, good.

Ah, you look so cute in your winter uniform. Mom jeans are the best; there's not a butt crack or knickers in sight when you wear them. Also, you have the best sweater collection ever.

I have never commented before but I just wanted to say I am so pleased to see you blogging again. Your posts are always so refreshing and interesting, and I'm glad we still get to here your views; I hope the magazine becomes a reality too. Also making me want some 90s high waist jeans pretty bad.

Napoleon Dynamite, such a bizarre, funny movie. I know what you mean about finding something that works and sticking to it. Sometimes I'd like to have a wardrobe of the same outfit in different variations.

Hey! Nothing wrong with mom jeans! They just get such a bad rap, it's so not fair. I love the fact that there's a hidden element to your outfit and I want your boots....but in my size.
