denim swish

Jeans: Miss Sixty (thrifted). Belt: Men's H&M. Shirt: Vintage. Brogues: Naturalizer. Jacket: Thrifted (Camden Market/London). Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville. Shawl scarf: Thrift: Bag: Thrift DIY studded. Crucifix bracelet worn as necklace: Fashionology
A few days ago we checked out some trees and I wore one of my fave kind of jeans: Flares. These are right up there with skinnies. These are by Miss Sixty found for about $20 (thrifted) and even though they are 1 size too big for me I took them regardless. (I can slip them off with the button still closed).
The swing from the hem when walking is so damn cool. They fit like wide legged trousers. The shirt bought about 6 years ago from a vintage shop has a skinny/narrow cut that I love. The print is a flapper girl sitting on a cloud.
I bought the leather jacket in Camden Market in London. When you get off the tube, turn right and it's that basement level indoor market. I remember the day I got it. I hope that seller is still there. He had the best leather jackets and vintage slips and dresses.

  14. I love the jeans (obvs) and the jacket. It is the perfect color mix, a bit oldish vibe. But the shirt... :) From far away it looks like with some penises pattern :D Sorry.. It's my art classes, that taught me to see penises and vaginas everywhere... :>
