LEATHER LOVE

It's spring break here in Orange County, but it's still cool enough to get some last good wears out of some of my winter staples. With the threat of warmer wearing looming in the sun filled months ahead, I decided it was time to see some garments out in style before they're packed away for the summer. I've been giving these Gap leather pants extra attention lately because besides being generally amazing for being leather pants, they're actually great for colder weather (and the hardest to try to wear in the summer heat). Here's some ways I've been styling them lately...











Gap leather pants American Apparel tee, vintage everything else

Pretty simple outfit thrown together with some favorite pieces- not a lot else to say besides the fact that it keeps me really warm.

Fished this sassy cat shirt out of a pile of dirty vintage tees at a flea market. One of my favorite ways to style leather pants is completely out of context, so I thought I'd pair the two together. Inspired by a few things borrowed from my dad and concert goers from Wattstax.


Can't finish this post without a shot of our trusty cat Pinks. She always watches me make a fool of myself while taking pictures for the blog!


Borrowed these shoes from my dad. I love the design, color and they are super comfortable (which is not something I can say about the majority of the shoes in my closet).

A LOVE LETTER TO BOBA FETT

My childhood obsession with Star Wars has segued into my obsession with clothes. Admittedly, Episode I is a lot harder to sit through today than it was when I was 7, but I still have an intense appreciation for the visual aspects of the saga. I can indeed say in all seriousness that Boba Fett inspires me sartorially speaking, so when I remembered that we have a Boba Fett helmet in our garage I thought I'd be fun to pay tribute to the most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy with some clothes of my own.

Pulled together some pieces with Fett's faded Mandalorian armor and braided Wookie scalps in mind. Took a shot without the helmet in case I ever decide to wear this outfit in a non-comic con setting.




My dad is going to sell these shoes, so I thought I'd put them to good use before he did. The soles and the cracked leather make me think of them as decaying battle tanks at my feet.
