Among the Palms and Cherry Blossoms


In the spirit of the Wardrobe Architect, I'll share one of my favorite casual silhouettes: a chunky knit sweater, rolled up jeans, and Oxfords. Maybe it's the tomboy in me, but I like nothing better than slouching my way through the weekend in a too-big top and comfortable shoes. Paired here with some Marc Jacobs aviators, a Steven Allen tote bag, and a pair brass chain earrings by Mata Traders (see the last picture for a dramatic closeup of these beauties).

Outfit details:

Pink skinny jeans (old) / Adriano Goldschmied (made in USA)
Brass chain earrings / Mata Traders (fair trade)
Leather Oxfords / Charles Jourdan (thrifted)
Imogen Tote / Steven Allen*



* Note: while this bag is imported, Steven Allen has a great track record when it comes to using sustainable materials and American manufacturing. They're definitely I brand I can get behind -- and this Imogene tote might be the most beautifully constructed thing I own. Seriously, I saved up for this sucker, and it brings me more joy than I like to admit.
