Shoes: Chuck Taylors (DIY studded). Shorts: DIY cut offs. Top: American Apparel. Cardigan: Topshop. Necklace: Vintage
We’re on a roll here. More summer sun. Walked the dog (his name is Sir Oliver), laid on the grass and ate ice cream and an apple.
I LOVE this crop top from American Apparel. Feels old school in grey. I also love their neon version that I wore here from an older post. They do basics in such a non boring way (although it’s easy to just slash a T yourself really).
I got the silver ‘old coins’ necklace yesterday from a vintage shop while walking around the Lower East Side.

I think the only way I could pull off the cut-off tee look is with layers….but your photos are so summery. 🙂

Gorgeous dog Karen. Love that you can dress completely casual with a tee and old sneakers yet still look like a million bucks.

This necklace is fabulous! And I would give anything for a mr softee ice cream, I miss NYC!
Anika says:
I have that cropped tee and I have to agree with you, it’s so soft and vintage-y. Although I bought a cropped baggy tank from target (of all places!) today that has made its way straight to the top of the ‘croptop bestseller list’ 😉

Tom Tuttle – at a vintage shop. Then I studded it.
Nika – usual roller set. although sometimes I get a blow out like I did in this shot. I LOVE my hair stylist who is insanely good. She finishes with a ultra wide ceramic iron.
Eternally Fixed – love that name. Thank for finding me : )
Anon – relaxed

Love that necklace!
Ashley says:
Hey Karen! When you stud your shoes… do the back of the studs (the prongs?) ever stab at your ankles or tear holes in your socks?
I want to stud my boots, but the potential pain concerns me. How horrible would it be if my tombstomb read – bloody ankles, death by studs! =)
