Smells Like '77: Sneak Peek

shirt: Reformation, vest: Alice & Olivia, jeans: J Brand, belt: J Crew, sunglasses: Pucci. Photo by Chuck Grant.

I'm not angry at you, sweethearts. Ignore the face, the sun was beaming directly into my eyeballs.

I have homewhack to attend to and thus cannot post an extensive thesis on the new shape of denim right now, but here is a sneak peek of a photo that comes with the post, which will run later today. You have my word. While yes, you cannot see what style jeans I'm wearing, I will tell you they are called the Kikis and any avid J Brand wearer will know what that means. If you're not, however, an avid wearer, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the feathered vest over my shoulders because I think we can agree, I am so marabou chic.

As you can see, this photo--among others--was taken outside, before I went jogging for Glaucoma. So to those of you who ask: would you ever wear these outfits outside the confines of your home? The answer is yes. And not only do I wear them, I jog in them.

Now onto the questions portion of this teaser: is it just me or has New York been looking an awful lot like 1977 lately?

  1. Of course my attention goes to the vest. I love it, you look a little bit like a bird, a city bird, a gorgeous bird, a fashionable bird. Love the combination with the simple white tee, always love a tee when it is a little bit transparent. The jeans looks smashing so I can’t wait to see the whole look. ps. the fence looks actually pretty interesting, all the little bars.

  7. I think the face is actually pretty perfect... because what should NOT be ignored is that the combination of your face and your vest made me automatically think of "Angry Birds". So I instinctively touched my iPhone on my desk... it's a sickness.

  18. Haha, your blog is hilarious and your outfits are to die-for!
    Thanks for an amazing blog, and excellent-written-texts!<3
    BUT, now lets get to the serious part.
    I challenge you to go jogging in a pair of shoes of your choise, and a maxi dress or, a cocktail dress of your choise ;D
    Do you take up the challenge?
    This is so silly, but worth a try :D<3<3<3<3

    Once again thank you for an amazing blog, and I hope you don't think I'm some kind of a weirdo now (I'm only 47 percent wacko ;D)

  31. Do you like Chlidish Gambino solely because of his reference to Rag & Bone in his song "Be Alone"? I do. Or maybe because he also has a song called "I Love Clothes".
