90s Child

Living Doll LA Tee / Vintage Levis / Converse

Born and raised in the nineties, I have this thing for anything vintage from the era. There's some type of rule that if you lived when the the trend first began, you're not supposed to wear it when it returns. But I say to hell with it. Wear what you want. This whole mom jean revival. Totally in. Converse, Keds, and the like. In again. So when I spotted this tee on the Living Doll site, it was a match made in heaven. Like my vibe smack right on the front of a shirt. Put the three pieces together, throw me on a fire escape with some good music, and it's like a scene of Friends or somethin'.

Candela Sweater / Vintage Tommy Hilfiger Jeans (similar) / Converse / Vintage and Handmade Rings

The CUT describes Normcore as embracing sameness deliberately as a new way of being cool, rather than striving for “difference” or “authenticity.” Stylized by mom jeans, white tees, turtlenecks, and Birkenstocks, the Normcore movement has taken the fashion industry by storm and I'm all in. With a bit of a nod to the 90s, it takes fashion back down to the basics: clean and simple, plain and comfy.

I rock Normcore on the reg and here's one way I like to wear it. I pair my mom jeans and Converse with this amazing turtleneck by Candela. The open-knit weave and cropped shape give it a bit of update while still keeping the simplistic feel. Shop the look above to achieve your new, Normcore self ;)

P.S. I was seriously under the weather during this shoot, so major props to my boy Jose for knocking these photos (and video) out of the park!

Patricia Field Vintage: Hockey Jacket / Everlast Tank / Mom Jeans / (my own) Calvin Klein Pumps

When you first walk into Patricia Field, there’s a crazy array of spikey jewelry, Coca Cola bottle purses, quirky sunglasses, and sequined clothing. An editorial stylist’s dream. I had always heard of this infamous store, so I was even more surprised when I walked through and discovered an epic vintage section. I got my Sail Away with Me romper, Color Me Kelly Ripa dress, and my favorite denim jacket seen here and here all for around $40 each! I hadn’t been back in a hot minute and was excited to find out there was a whole slew of new vintage just in! As you can tell, I found some gems.

This might be one of my favorite outfits I’ve shot so far. There’s something a very "cool girl” about it. Sporty but casual with a little sass. I love how each piece juxtaposes the other-- a tight tank and mom jeans, a hockey jacket and pumps. Dare to branch out and mix things up. Shop this look at more at Pat's Store (details below)!
