American Rag

March 21st, 2011



American Apparel Headband, J.Crew Shirt, Vintage Bracelet, Zara Skirt,
Elizabeth and James Booties (which are now on sale!), Mulberry Bag

Every time I feel a bit uninspired by what’s in my closet, I reach for classics. I’ve had this chambray shirt for well over a year, yet I’ve only worn it a handful of times. It’s oversized and worn-in, so it’s perfect to pair with more sophisticated fabrics like chiffon and leather. It’s also inspired what’s now become my spring go-to uniform that includes an unstructured top, a short skirt and an easy hair accessory.

    Great look! I wish I could already wear skirts without tights. I am so ready for summer (not my legs though… they first need some sun/tanning cream). Great bag!!

    Cute look! I have been wearing my chambray shirt a lot lately–I feel like it goes with practically this season.

    Amazing! Surprisingly, I think it’s the shoes that totally make this outfit work. I’ve been wanting a Mulberry bag forever. The gold link bracelet is also a really nice touch!

    This shirt is great, perfect ‘vintage’ feel to the denim. Good styling here too, love the chain bracelet.

    I love that hair accessory! I had bought one from american apparel but my hair is layered in the front so it looks odd. Once my hair grows out I hope it works better for me!!
