100 PLUS DEGREES

I've always loved paparazzi shots of 60's rock stars, and lately it's been unbearably hot. Put these two in my mind, give me about 10 minutes to try stuff on from a pile of my clothes, and you have this:






Vintage flick jean jacket, vintage Ray Bans, vintage scarf, random shorts, and vintage Stacey Adams shoes.

I'd have to say that most of my inspiration came from these pictures:



There's something about the styling here that's so over the top, and frankly a little off, and I like that. It's very devil may care. They're rich, they're famous, and talented, in furs, and don't give a flying fuck.

"It’s not I want to be that. It’s I want to feel that.”

I think this is the first time I've worn sunglasses on the blog. I love sunglasses, I really do, it's just one of the only pairs I have are these Ray Bans from way back when and it's not that they're not nice or anything, but I avoid em because they're so synonymous with the whole hipster look. But I also happen to like them, and I think they happen to be a classic despite being worn by skinny bitches the world over. So I threw em on to add some glamour, or what have you. That, and I wanna protect my eyes.


Other than attributing being a little more busy than usual lately to the slow down in posts, it's just too damn hot to wear clothes right now.

YOU SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

This past Sunday was my 17th birthday, so I decided to do some hypothetical birthday shopping with my hypothetical fortune.










Not to say I didn't have a great birthday, I spent it with friends and family and went to Disneyland courtesy of the Disney empire itself. The reason I went to Disneyland for free is the same reason I'm hypothetically luxury shopping. Although I have to admit that a lot of the vintage stuff I see, and own for that matter, is a lot more appealing to me than some of the stuff these high fashion monster brands churn out saison apres saison. The only real advantage the fashion houses have over vintage is the footwear, other than that it's not like I can't find something with just as much creative quality in a dusty nook of a dimly lit vintage shop.

But this post isn't all about trashing high fashion, it's also Denim on Denim's 100th post! I just wanted to say a quick thank you to you, the readers, for coming back and supporting the blog. And also that I'm happy to have had the chance to correspond with some of you and that whenever you link to this blog or pass it along to one of your friends, it means a lot. So thank you! :)
