glamorously patched

8.18.2011




Boulee top. GAP jeans. Proenza Schouler shoes. Pour la Victoire bag.

How sick is this top? It reminds me of Proenza prints paired perfectly with quirky cutouts and a mini skirt-thing at the waist. Wore it down with one of my favorite patched-up jeans and thinly strapped heels. Thought it was an appropriate outfit to shop around Melrose and lug bags of clothes to sell at Wasteland Alas, it’s nearing the end of the week and my cold udon noodles cravings are coming back stronger than ever. Can’t wait to slurp some down this weekend and maybe go to the movie theater. Something I forget I love doing so much.

That top is totally mesmerizing, Raych! And so wondrously paired with those patchworked denims. Udon noodles sounds really delectable right now. Mmmm.
