distressed black jeans & linen motorcycle jacket

you guys, these jeans are amazing. and on sale and comfortable in a way that denim almost never is. WHAT!? also, this jacket: not on sale but worth every full-price penny.  i’ve already worn it so much that i’m kind of wondering if i should buy another because i’m going to be sad when i’ve ruined it (which will likely be soon because i’m a clumsy mess).

do you buy doubles of clothes that you really, really love? seems crazy but then i kick myself when i spill something on a favorite item and realize that i thought about buying a back up and didn’t.  which leads to a hunt where i realize there is nothing like it to be found anywhere on the interweb. every. single. time. WORST!

and that was your installment of True First World Problems. thanks for not slapping me in the face.  xx- sarah

high waisted skinny jeans: oh my, yes! {or} oh, hell no!

so i’ve been hesitant to try high waisted skinny jeans, even though i’ve already braved the high waisted bikini bottoms (here) and the high waisted bells (here and here).  but i had concerns that the silhouette would make me feel a bit like betty boop (oh hips!).  so, what do you think? would you wear them?

pleather jeans i can’t quit you!

i decided to give pleather (or “vegan leather”) pants a go, putting aside my bad feeling about pleather leggings and pairing them with a cozy oversized sweater and my favorite moccasin boots.  it’s the kind of outfit you wear to kick dirt or otherwise pretend to be a little bit more badass than you are. i think this pair is going to be a closet staple worn with long tunics, oversized sweaters and this blouse.

pants: blank denim (similar), sweater: free people (here, here) moccasin: minnetonka (old)
