design on a dime

I know there have been lots of posts about Jonathan Saunders for Target on the blog circuit lately. I'm just as excited for the Dries-esque printed shirt and jacket as the next person, but it was more than just the clothing in the press photographs that caught my eye.


Look at those shoes! The low quality makes them a little hard to make out, so squint your eyes if you have to. They're essentially the Chloe boot before it got into a fight with a Bedazzler! And they're going to be a fraction of the price, for sure. I'm juiced.


I really really hope that the boots are actually going to be sold at Target and aren't some fancy label picked out by the stylist.

Even though I haven't found that much good use of my AA eelskin leggings yet, I'm clearly falling for the leather pants/leggings trend. I love them so much that I decided to scoop up yet another pair of latex legwear!

Behold, (as the salesgirl called them) the "leather legging". Here's how I'm going to justify this purchase; $42 at American Apparel, $18.50 at Wet Seal.

They don't fit amazingly. My eelskins are slightly higher-waisted and aren't prone to sliding down. These ones, unfortunately, contribute to front butt syndrome:

They're still pretty legit to wear under long sweaters and tunics this fall.

For those of you who can't bear to have sub-par leggings, I encourage you to take advantage of American Apparel's current sale! College students (maybe high schoolers too?) get 15% off purchases through September 2nd. And we all know this stuff like, never goes on sale.
