WORN | Leather Tee + Neuw Jeans + White Sandals

The day I transferred $50 bucks into some random Trade Me account for this leather tee, I should have insisted on sending a chocolate fish in thanks.
The purchase was made on a hunch in 2008 that the leather tee with boxy proportions would be a wardrobe staple someday. Lies, lies, lies - it was a whim purchase and it worked in my favour, okay? Now back off.

The "hunch" has served me well but also created a monster.  I'm forever looking to upgrade and expand the leather category in my wardrobe and am currently on the hunt for a buttery soft white tee. And some shorts to match. And more pants. Or a skirt? And in tan too. Or in burgundy? Something cobalt, definitely cobalt. I think a dress too? 
Aaaaand, focus...
I hear Winston Wolfe is a great place to start but if you know where else I could be looking, let me in on the action. Thanks.


Now, speaking of action, these Neuw denim skinnies have been getting a lot of it. Woah, woah, woah Dirty Gerties...not that kind of "action", [I have three kids. I'm done with that "action"] I'm talking high rotation wardrobe action. But if you are in the market for some "action", I'd say these jeans would serve you well. 
PSA: play it safe. 
If you're not in search of "action" these will still do you well for your day-to-day-to-night-to-day standard action. Just do the freezer thing to keep them fresh as a daisy. 
You can get a pair of Neuw denim here or here but will need to bring your own action.


Last things last, can we all give a round of applause to the return of the chunky 90s sandal. My obsession started with Marques Almeida's S/S 12 collection and worsened by S/S 13. The Windsor Smith version will do me just fine - sans the tassel fwanging about on the ankle strap - and in all seriousness, I'm hanging out for winter so I can chuck a pair of black socks on with these. Seriously.

  1. The word "fwanging". So good.

    1. S'my favourite. Conveys so much just as it is and a multi purpose descriptive in my circle. Added bonus if you gesticulate wildly like a possessed water hose.

  2. I've been wanting to get the black versions of the windsor smith sandals but the tassles stopped me. Are they easy to take off? do they leave a mark? x

    1. Hey GK - missed your question. I just pulled the tassels thru and there are two 3mm slits per ankle strap. No damage.
