The Dog Days of January

casual-d1casualleather7casualleather6

These days I can’t even be bothered to put on more than a shirt and jeans.  Just in one of those casual phases, you know?  I think it’s because after all the chaos and looking-cuteness of the holidays, January is an entire month to just chill. out.  Right?  Right.

However, the other day I tried to switch it up with a little faux leather and James’s henley.  I realize that I don’t usually wear black, let alone anything tougher (like leather), but it’s nice every now and then to project a somewhat different image.  Casual toughness, though.  Let’s not go overboard just yet.

I also need to do some laundry.  That could have something to do with it as well…

faux leather pants & necklaces: Forever 21, henley: James’s, DIY glitter boots: Aldo Qualheim, ring: Jewelmint

    Not having any other clean clothes is a pretty good reason to try something new.
    i think it's a success. but those boots can do no wrong.

    Chic on the Cheap

    You should "need to do some laundry" more often then. "Casual Toughness" suits you.

    Great look!

    BTW... leather pants & a great sweater is my "go to" nearly every Saturday at this time of the year. I love how it is casual, yet chic.
