Baggy jean bare essentials

Baggy jeans.They're the one essential that every gal should have in their wardrobe: no matter what kind of mood your in, the baggy jeans will always be in the mood for you. I think a lot of the time people simply place them in the "can't be bothered" pile - or perhaps you're using the "too hard to pull off" excuse. Stop! Drop! ...And thrift shop! (hahaha - but seriously!).

You're missing out. I honestly couldn't even count on both hands how many pairs of baggy, high-waist vintage jeans I have. My hope is to do a lil' bit of DIY but hey, let's be honest, I'll probably be 50 by the time that comes around... so here I am, rocking the old school Levi's that were most likely the reason that girl is now the girl. And I mean really, who doesn't want to be that girl? Ooozing with good vibes, an edge that's like no other and a style that speaks for itself.

And that's the great perk about vintage - It's never the same. All garments are authentically made, created and worn; embedded with memories, past and future, ready to be shown off, complimented and flaunted. Next spare moment you have, think about the outfit you have on - what memories do your clothing possess? When you're in vintage, it's not just another one of those manufactured pair of jean's. Your wearing life - you never know who wore it before you and better yet, who could potentially be wearing it in 50 years time.

And with my words spoken, here's to whoever got to cherish these amazing pair of jeans before myself.

Let me know what you think of vintage - yay or nay? Do you have that one vintage piece that you'll never let go of no matter what? Tell me! I'd love to hear your stories.

SPORTSWEAR X STREETSTYLE

So this is what I like to call Street-wear Steeze.

Right now, you may be asking yourself what on earth the term steeze actually is - but hey, let me tell you - it's all in the style (don't worry, not long ago I was asking the exact same question). It's a popular quirky term introduced by the young and reckless society published on Urban Dictionary... 

        Steeze: 'The combination of style and ease'  ie. "Damn girl, you got some steeze".

I love street style x sports wear. Its comfy and casual yet has the potential to be the most on-edge outfit, overflowing with tremendous amounts of steeze (yeah, I did just go there). The versatility of this trend is somewhat incredible and I can't stress enough the power to go nuts with this! Play with it, mix things up - Its street style, you can do whatever you like and in most cases, you'll pull it off (unless your having a FASHION101 breakdown!).

It's a trend that hasn't been amongst us in quite a while, therefore it's the opportunity for you to 1. make it your own and 2. set a trend within the trend. It can become luxurious and powerful, paired with the perfect pair of ankle hugging heels or, quite opposite, it can turn you into a street-style-B-Ball-playing-Goddess when complimented with those favourite pair of high-top sneakers that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting, screaming even, "WEAR ME". Take it from me, grab those bad boys out, and start making the most of this while it's still around. 

Right now, grab your wallet, head out shopping and grab yourself a jersey, or better yet, you may even have that Jersey that's been hiding in your cupboard, just waiting for that perfect opportunity, well, grab it out, put it on, and start walking with steeeeeze.

Don't wait for the steeze, let the steeze find you (humour intended - but honestly, just go for it!).

NOTE* Obviously I'm in a very humorous mood today - Hope you found my post somewhat comical.
