Once When I Was

I am not afraid of stripes & florals. (Taken with Instagram)

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I have a thing for denim.  It starts in the fall and lasts through spring.  Summertime is all about a denim cut-off and with the collection I have there are always a few pairs ripe for the hacking.  But I digress, this post is about my market recap of the AG Jeans FW12 collection.

The preview was tucked away in the heart of downtown in Greenwich Village in a loft space with rustic wood floors, metal walls and vintage couches.  The vibe fit well with the embroidered jeans, 70’s style flares and rainbow of corduroys being offered up for fall by denim staple AG.

I channeled a 50’s vibe with this AG Jeans striped tee and chambray circle skirt from OBEY Clothing.  The best element are these Low End Theory tights I found at Bloomie’s that I can’t recall the brand and don’t have a tag inside.  Sorry!  But don’t they remind you of Tribe Called Quest’s seminal album Low End Theory’s cover art?  I love them so much.  If only I could run into Q-tip while wearing them.  Sigh. 

Vintage headscarf is Avon, yes, as in door-to-door make up.  The tag says Sweet Honesty.  Weird, huh?  The Echo of the Dreamer bird ring which is getting a lot of comments lately from readers of The Hunger Games.  Not sure why, I gotta read those books.  Kept it simple with my J Shoes booties that are so comfortable I will miss them once boot season is fully over.

@AGJeans kills it on so many levels when it comes to @ProjectShow in Las Vegas.  Let me start by telling they have a lil’ cafe serving Nobu sushi and the yummiest cookies.  In my opinion they have the best event to hit up in the evening as well.  This year I got to see Foster The People play and last year it was The Black Keys.  So there, jealous yet?  But sandwiched between all that nourishment for my soul with fine food and solid tunes they put me in a frenzy with these prints in denim.  Which one to pick: florals, dots or stars… I can’t decide. 

Happy Halloween!  There was a snowstorm this weekend (little factoid: last time it snowed in October was 1959!) so I opted for a really casual get-up while running errands.  Real errands, like getting a bagel and picking up the laundry.  Not the fancy errands that some style bloggers wear 4 inch heels for on a lazy Sunday.  This is a I’m not looking at what my hair is doing kind of get up.  And I am sharing it with you.  Wild, huh?

I am wearing a jacket c/o Superdry, new favorite holey sweater c/o Aro, super soft long sleeve tee shirt c/o AG Jeans, boyfriend jeans c/o Agave Denim, unicorn socks c/o Sock It To Me, clogs c/o Dr.Martens and vintage Gucci scarf c/o dearly departed Great Aunt Jeanette.
