FLANNEL SQUARED

Most great things come in twos: Reese’s cups, Shamwows, The ATL Twins, certain male reproductive organs. This plaid flannel-on-plaid flannel pairing is no exception. I layered a knee length plaid shirt-dress with cutoff sleeves over another flannel wonder, this one with sleeves still intact and a casual cut reminiscent of most bathrobes. With my outerwear lending itself to a “trailer trash heroism” theme, I knew the rest of my outfit would have to follow suit and honor the classically American look. Ergo, overalls. It’s finally warm enough to bare knees, so I’m trying to get as much wear out of this vintage Vigoss number before it either falls apart or my butt gets too big to squeeze into it (very likely considering my recent cheese Danish obsession). Overall (no pun intended), the look is “prole on the prowl” – calculated nonchalance and hobo chicness in tow.



FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

Beanie – H&M

Sunglasses – Retro City

Gray flannel robe – YES STYLE

Blue flannel cutoff shirt – Secondhand

Ladder necklace – Vanessa Mooney

Snakeskin turtleneck – Boohoo

Vigoss overalls – Secondhand

Bag – Rebecca Minkoff

"Opera booties" – Pink and Pepper

These here shoes are a rockin’ new pair from my buds Pink& Pepper, cheekily titled “the Opera bootie.” They’d surely fit right into an ‘exclusive art ambience,’ but I prefer wearing them to downtown dives and flea markets where my frayed flannel is not only socially accepted, but encouraged. Less pressure. I’ll be leaning against a chain link fence somewhere shotgunning a PBR if you need me. 

Everything is infinite,
