Jean on Jean Action


(Tank, Gap. Vest, Vintage. Jeans, Express. Sandals, Urbanoutfitters. Bangles, Vintage. Clutch, Vintage.)

Style can be either one or two things: Simple or Complicated. Each can be complex in very different ways and each can be extradinarily beautiful. When pertaining to my style though, I perfer to keep it simple. Less is more in my book, yet that does not mean I am not inspired or in love with the more complicated looks that I have seen. It's all beauty to me...

Anywho, I'm usually not a big fan of the "jean on jean" look, but today I could not resist. I hadn't worn my 70's inspired vest in a while so I thought I would take it out for a spin (check out the back of my vest...too cool hehe). . .So I paired it with some cigarette jeans and called it a day :)

Question: Again, I'm wearing my new favorite shoes, but I am unsure as to what to call them... gladiators or bandage style sandals? I mean, it really does not matter too much, but I've been wondering hehe

i love the outfit, and the criss-cross vest back is perfect.

and since they're your shoes, i think you most definitely have creative license on what to name them! :)

That vest is so awesome, the back is like a piece of art.

A La Femme said...

I really like this look. You pull it off really well!

Vain and Vapid said...

That denim vest is too cute, I love the back detail. I'm not sure what to describe you sandals as gladiators or bandage but you're right, it doesn't matter cause they are lovely either way...

Awesome shoes. My mum and I call them Jesus sandals, because when I was about three my mum had some old stylee shoes like that, and I said that's what I imagined Jesus would have worn. -Random-

Thank you so much for your amazing comments. I would love for Karl to come and ask me to design for him. I would of course say, "you know Nicole knew it first." Thank you for being so kind!!

Dear, you did a GREAT casually chic look! The luxury is all on your details. The back of the vest, the turned-up jeans and the superb sandals are seriously good combination! You go girl, you've got a great style xxxxxxx

ETL said...

I've never been a fan for too much denim either, but I really like this outfit! The proportions and washes are just right, and that vest is a great vintage find! =]
