do it like a dude

Gap jacket, pants and belt, Emma & Sam tank, Steve Madden booties

This has been my uniform lately. The slouchy, boyish look is elevated (heh heh) with the addition of my favorite wedge desert booties. Pants that make the boys go, "Uggh" make me go, "Yay!"
Route 66 flannel, Mango camisole, Levis jeans, Gap belt, ASOS booties
These jeans were my first foray into the 'boyfriend' look a couple years ago. Rest assured though, these babies aren't getting me any dates. On a recent stroll down Chestnut, a charmingly-inebriated Marina bro slurred, "Lesssbian" as I walked by. For the record, homeboy could have used a little homo in his life.
Gap jacket, Quicksilver shirt, Plush leggings, Converse shoes
Menswear button-down, little boy's sneakers and leggings, just to prove that my legs aren't always sheathed in extra yards of canvas and/or denim. I can almost hear the, "leggings aren't pants!" cries now but these fleece-lined wonders will make believers out of even the most adamant stretchy pants opponent. Deny them, I dare you.


The moral of this sartorial story? Borrow from the boys with pride. Style tips from dudes in popped-collar polos are made to be ignored.
