checked



Me in the village - it rained about 10 mins after this. Read on for more...




Flannel shirt: Uniqlo. Shorts (these are a true red which I like): Resin. Boots: Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony (sold out but similar looks here and here). Bag: Coach via eBay (yep, I had to get it in black). Red version is here and brown here.  Hat: Asos (GAP has similar in diff colours here).

These pics are from a few days ago in the west village (Michael and me just missed the down pour that quickly followed). I wore a flannel check shirt from Uniqlo.  It's like the female version of a men's classic and I'm surprised I never had one of these before.  They never go out really.

I wore it with red cut offs and the platform Victorian boots (my new name for them). You can so easily see this shirt worn more punk stylee - buttoned all the way to the neck with drainpipes and creepers. MUST try that next!

  17. I love red flannel! I remember when I was in 6th grade, I would always raid my dad's closet for his red flannel shirt and wear it to school. I'd knot the bottom or wear the top unbuttoned a few notches or tuck it in or layer. I lived in that shirt! (I almost want Fall to come because of this.)

    You look so sexy here, Karen! Your legs! How do you get them to look like that?

  38. I co-sign this look (except the hat) right down to the shoes. I thought about picking up with CS platforms but I think they were made in China and I couldn't reconcile that with the price tag. Nevertheless, you look great, especially your legs!
