Stolen Look (From the Boys): New-Cycled Denim
This was a cold day in November. A sunrise shoot. Third outfit of the morning and it wasn't getting warmer. The seaport/city looked so beautiful in the early morning light and Will captured it perfectly (per usual, would you expect anything less? #magicianmann)...
So here is the scoop on the outfit - it's all about the jeans. They are recycled or as I like to say, new-cycled. I made something old, new again. The denim was part of Bryce's wardrobe for years - they are worn, soft, and super slouchy in a boyfriend (err husband) kinda way....
Women pay upward of $200 for a pair that will fit just like this, but in reality all you need to do is scour your male counterpart's closet. These are Citizen's Of Humanity and can either be purchased here or stolen from your local closet. :o)
Tricks about stealing from the boys...
- The Old Wash & Dry: boys are rough on their clothes, so wash before you wear! Also, dry them on the highest temp to make sure they are as small as they can get...
- Length: you can bet that they will be long on you. So roll 'em! I like the "french roll" - it gives a tapered look!
- Waist: they will be large through the waist. So... grab a funky belt and cinch it up or roll the waist down so they sit low on your hips like I did!
Full outfit details -
1. Sweater - UNIQLO (c/o) - similar here for $39.90! This sweater is slouchy, comfy, and menswear inspired. They are such an amazing company! If you live in the Boston area you can hit up the following locations - Legacy Place, Natick, Chestnut Hill, or Faneuil Hall!
2. Jacket - ZARA (here) - of course you know my obsession. This is a core item in their assortment every winter, so it's available in different colors depending on the trends.
3. Shoes - Sam Edelman (here) - good, classic black pump w/ a twist. Add a feminine touch to the ruggedness of the men's look.
4. Bag - ANOTHER SECRET STYLING TRICK... KEEP READING TO FIND OUT MORE!
We made our way from the Seaport to Castle Island. All places we love to see from our boat. Here I am watching the sunrise and wishing it was an 80 degree day ripping through the harbor on our boat....
Here's another fun trick.... the leopard Marc by Marc Jacobs bag in this shot is actually a laptop bag that I swap out for a clutch all the time. Especially when I travel for work - that way I don't have to carry multiple bags on my trip and it's cross-functional. Additionally, they are SUPER affordable! Check these cute ones out - here, here, and here! All around $100!
Being cold and goofy while capturing the sunrise with my phone...
The winter can only last so long..... Lift up your eyes and see.... the sun is rising!
Have a fashionably snowy day,
