runners

 

i can't call my shoes sneakers because i actually wear these while running. like the day before this i did 8 miles in them and then later this same day i took them on a 4 mile jog around town. these shoes aren't just for fashions' sake, i put them to work. except that they are basically the worst ever. seriously, i can't unrecommend these enough. i love the pink and green color scheme and how trendy i look while wearing them, but at what cost? knee and foot pain, that's the cost.

but minor injury aside, i do like how they went with my diy cropped man jeans. and the fact that since i am my own boss i can get away with wearing whatever the heck i want to work on a blistery cold day. comfort is key on those days, lest i will absolutely refuse to go outside and face the unkind winter.

but i have loved dressing in menswear inspired ways this month. i've discovered that jeans from the boys section are super great. the pockets are bigger and there's plenty of crotch and leg room. even the denim is softer. it's almost like wearing sweats but acceptable for outdoor use. these, unlike my stupid shoes, i highly recommend you try.

i'm recycling outfits again. i originally wore this on saturday in austin. it was kinda the perfect thing to throw on for a super hot south texas afternoon of scoring rad thrift merch. and really, the summer here has been kind of a disappointment. yesterday temps finally made it back into the 90s so i jumped at the chance to wear something easy and that i can sweat in without it looking like i sweat in it. i know gross, but it's also totally true.

i also thought this the perfect opportunity to introduce you to our sobro monster (sobro=south broadway). a friend came over and tagged the wall off our back deck. eventually we'd like to graffiti the whole thing but this is a good start. i dig it.

overalls and harnesses

so i decided to take some overalls out for a spin yesterday, which was kinda fun. see these are big and baggy and roomy and comfy. it felt a bit like wearing a dress but since we've been having crazy windy and stormy (read: tornadic) weather lately, i didn't have to worry about a strong gust sweeping through and showing off my lady parts. win/win i say.
and i'm pretty pumped about my new wrist harness from gage huntley. i've worn it two days in a row i love it so very much. it makes me feel like a dainty lady.
