Good morning, Thursday. I'm all up in the Hudson and I love it here so much. Going to DIA Beacon today and have enjoyed our stay at the lovely Roundhouse- more Hudson Valley recap tomorrow if at all humanly possible. Still enjoying my vacation lethargy oh so much.
But wanted to give you an itty bitty fashion tip this season- it's all about a good denim jacket to make that transition from Summer to Fall.
Denim jackets have always been a classic staple but feeling like they are having a real moment again- I've had a million different versions of them (and still covet my best friend's vintage Helmut Lang number from the 90s- mine were more often from the Gap and Earl Jean) but am now digging a more oversized silhouette vs. the more close to the body versions we've seen in recent years. I guess you'd call it more of a trucker jacket situation, and my heart almost stopped when I saw the R13 denim trucker cape online, and then it almost stopped again when I saw the price. I'm not a thousand dollar denim jacket kind of girl, and that's the truth. I'm not sure you should be either- it's like I don't even know you anymore...
But I was inspired by its coolness and decided I'd try to replicate in a less spendy version, and on a late weekend stroll through my 'hood in Brooklyn I stumbled into Free People and found the answer to my more attainable prayers- I love this oversized jacket that can function as more of a shirt to layer over sweaters, etc. I bought mine in the black/grey but the classic denim is super cute too. And it's a little more than a tenth of the cost of the R13 version, so wear with joy. And if you really feel like you can't spend over $100 on a denim jacket, go vintage and comb the piles of dudes denim for a more oversized vibe. I bet you'll find what you're after. And that's what's up this keep on truckin' on kind of Thursday in the 212. Yours, in outsized denim. XO
