Out of focus

So I was attempting to highlight the boots, not the pants, in my outfit today...

Unsuccessful.



The pants were way more noticeable! I liked it anyhow. You know you look a little crazy when you get stares traveling down...

And here are my new boots! If you guys like, I'll take a better photo of them later. Go thrift.

(Now that I think about it, they look more like loafers. Hm.)

UO t-shirt, thrifted/vintage (?) NY&Co. trousers, thrifted/vintage(?) boots.

QUESTION:
How do you discern the difference between thrifted and vintage? I've seen both used interchangeably, including labeling thrifted things as "vintage"...

Trousers

Lately, I've been ransacking the closets and wardrobes of this house. One of my finds is a pair of my dad's old blue-y grey trousers. He let me have them, and another pair, since they didn't fit him anymore and he was just about to throw them away! Nick of time or what? I love love love wearing them, especially after seeing Karla's take on male trousers... mm mm mm, certainly opens up a new branch of fashion. Here's my take on them, Fops and Dandies style!





1 - altered hanes white tank, gap cami (gift), vint trousers and belt (from parents), ? studded cuff (from a friend)
2 - charlotte russe henley (from a friend), vint belt (from madre)

I've been a lot more enchanted to that cuff, which I dug up out of a drawer the other day. Though wearing accessories feels totally strange to me (it's the weight), I'm slowly easing into them again...


P.S. I love blogging now. I'm learning so much more than just watching my schoolmates follow blindly the horror that is Uggs and A&F.
