before 100

JBrand kiki flares in Pure (found them here as well).  Jacket: Vintage. Crochet top: Thrift. Boots: Forever 21 (better pic of them in this post).  Shades: Ray Ban.  Ring: Mania Mania.  Hat: ASOS. Snake print bag: Rebecca Minkoff (worn with a tea dress here). 
Before the heat wave hit and New York wasn’t a sweat box, I wore my favourite things: denim flares.  I like how slim cut these ones are, only kicking out from knee down.  Plus they are stretchy – bonus. 
You  know the jacket by now (seen in this post with leopard heels).
These are the little things I really miss wearing because it’s so hot right now: denim flares, a fedora, a jacket.

    I love the saturated color of your bag against the neutral tones in your outfit. Not that that’s a new concept, just that something about it here really strikes me.

    I love that top (I tell people all the time about the seriously awesome stuff you can find at a thrift store, they rarely believe me, lol). Hand bag is great, too. Love the purple.
    Looking forward to checking out more.
