American Apparel tank top, Everly vest (similar), BDG  embroidered jeans (similar studded style), St. John's Bay handbag (alternate style I love), and Sam Edelman boots

Presenting my casual Saturday look for a long-awaited lunch and successful shopping date earlier this month with fellow blogger Toni.  The layering and comfortable boots are my way of expressing that I'm more than ready for fall, although the sleeveless tops indicate that indeed, it's still warm outside.  All I really want to wear at the moment are softer-than-soft knits with slim-fitting embellished denim. 

After a few weeks of debate, I opted to buy these Marant-inspired jeans, and you can probably guess that I'll be wearing them with ankle boots, chambray shirts, and practically anything else that has fringe in a strong nod to the Southwestern trend that has captivated me this season.

Embroidered jeans are one of my favourite Marant staples, and I love how these totally capture the same Indo-chic feel of them! Love this look :)

Gah, did you get these jeans recently?! Love them. You've been wearing such great print jeans lately! I love how all your pieces really complemented the jeans -- from the vest down to the fringe S. Edelman boots!

No one does the boho chic look quite like you - you're killing it with this outfit. Embroidered jeans & fringe boots have been on my shopping list for awhile - need to make the commitment and buy!
