ugly sweater

here i go espousing the virtues of synthetic shoes and then the next day showing up in leather ones! oh well, i ain’t perfect, or i’m a hypocrite, or a work in progress, or whatever you want to call me, but i am going to try and phase out buying new leather shoes (vintage still seems okay to me… thoughts?)

i saw these shoes first on Knight Cat and had to type my way over to Topshop for some damage. they’re so wonderfully tall and i will definitely wear them longer this fall/winter than it takes to eat a steak… i paired them with this fantastically ugly (and synthetic) man’s sweater i got from the Goodwill in Maine by my grandparents’s house. it has pleather stripes down the front, slouchy sleeves and dare i say, a mock turtleneck! ugh fest!

- topshop shoes and leggings, Goodwill sweater, Ali’s raybans, all Mr. Kate jewelry (Bark, Twig and Glow Worm cuffs and Twig Stack Rings) -

    I also don’t buy new leather. If it was a gift (which is rare anyway) or someone’s chucking their old leather purse/jacket/whatever, I’ll take that also. Older things and reusing them doesn’t matter as much to me because it’s not made anymore, so we’re not really supporting it when it comes down to it. But I definitely don’t buy new. :)
