I am forever and probably always will be, drawn to distressed everything! from furniture to clothing, I just love a raw edge and a rip. this is not in any way a new trend, although, I think the holes are getting bigger and some styles truly serve no purpose other than to conceal the money shot, but my favorite is the shocking price tag!! I love when the older generation makes a joke about buying me patches to stitch up my holes, or asking if I payed money to look like a poor person. well, yes, yes I did!! and usually good money at that!! but for me, these are a staple, which is an investment item, so I don't mind forkin over a few extra bucks for a style I really love! this particular pair is actually pretty fair priced and im pretty obsessed!! they had me at their holey hello, but upon trying them on and realizing they were a bf fit, obvi they were going home with me!! I paired them with this pretty pink blouse (with a raw edge hem!!) as a bit of a juxtaposition and funked it up with these silver pumps and pinks sunnies. now, for my jewels, I admit, im super particular about the pieces I buy and usually only wear items with sentiment or estate. it is rare that I add a costume piece to my collection. but I have found a site that meets my love of sentiment and costume, and all from small independent businesses!!
9th & Elm offers a little bit of everything in a flash sale forum, think Etsy meets Hautelook. I perused the sales and finally landed on jewelry!! ive been looking for a way to incorporate J into my everyday layers and this bar necklace fit the bill. it also comes with intitials, J+T, but i thought that would be confusing with the boys initials already in the mix. to feed my need for something fun, I chose these neon stone earrings, they're bright and a little edgy, and definitely unlike anything I already own. be sure to check it out, and leave yourself plenty of time to browse!!
