Daily Wear: HEY HO, LETS GO

I think this outfit pretty much took inspiration from one of the many magazines I read cover to cover during everyday's commute. Therefore I cannot remember exactly which publication I saw this in, but I am wanting to say it was Lucky.
Maybe, who knows??

It doesn't matter where I saw it, because it's so obviously a ME outfit.
It was the Ramones shirt I saw in the mag that did it for me.
I thought, "hey, where the heck is my Ramones tee??? Haven't worn it since I was maybe 25"

Being as how today was a work day, I think I should "try" a little harder than just a t-shirt.
In previously mentioned inspiration pic, she was wearing a jacket too--although now that I think about it, it was a whole spread about wearing boyfriend jackets and concert tees--
duh! That's a no brainer-
I'm a girl with hordes of rock tees and a fervor for trends like BF jackets!
I don't really need advice on that outfit combo-but thanks.

Yet today, I didn't want to go with my boyfriend jacket, the colors of the ones I own are too stark against this neon green tee.
So I pulled out a new blazer. It's a light gray, short and cropped sleeves, and fits pretty well.

Perfect! My way of "pulling myself together"
for a day at the office.

(disclaimer: this is NOT my actual house--this is the stairwell/hallway before you enter my apt., my place is NOT this dirty. Cluttered yes, but not as dirty)

Of course with this t-shirt/jacket combo, skinny jeans make the perfect compliment.
And no surprise here, they're Uniqlo jeans.
It's no secret-I LOVE MY UNIQLO JEANS
-They fit my body type pretty freakin' well
-They're super affordable-these were only $20!
-The rinse is a perfect dark denim shade, no?
(BTW-I have numerous pairs, so in all these posts I am not wearing the same ones day in and day out. Although what does it matter, I also blog about doing laundry like every other week. But yeah, just thought I'd let you know that I'm not wearing the same pants every single day of my life--ahem, although I know a few boys that do just that. Not mentioning names)

Put on those guilty-pleasure shoe purchases (that would be me and Jessica Simpson shoes),
and a few of my new(er) rings-since I'm trying to get into wearing rings.
And I'm ready for a low-key, yet "stylish" day at work.
(thank god for these creative industry jobs--that's all my wardrobe and styling abilities can say)

Your boots are absolutely fabulous! I keep hearing rave things about Uniqlo jeans, now I want to get myself a pair. Take care!

Well I guess I'll have that song in my head all day:) Thanks a lot!!! Hehehe. I love those jeans too, I just wish Uniqlo wasn't just in NYC. Next time I come back I'll definitely buying more.

This is great. I love how you've added the blazer and boots to dress up the tee and jeans. You look so polished, but ready to go out after work at the same time.

Jennifer Fabulous said...

I really adore those boots and that t-shirt. You look so bad-ass and chic at the same time. Nice combination. ;)

I also enjoyed reading all your side notes. Lol. You crack me up.

PS. I also wanted to thank you for the really sweet and encouraging comment you left on my blog yesterday. It has been such a rough, sad week for me and it is bloggy friends like you who are helping me get through it.
