Outfit #12: August 6, 2011


Shirt: c/o The Merchandising Society of the Fashion Institute of Technology
Shorts: Abercrombie & Fitch
I worked on reconstructing this shirt for about two days. I found some really good tutorials at youtube.com/salinabear. This garment was HUGE on me and I just had to do something to it. Some of the members of the Merchandising Society got these t-shirts in honor of the club’s 50th Anniversary. This year, we will be celebrating the Style Shop’s 16th birthday.
The shorts are a pair of old Abercrombie ones that I purchased years ago. They’re short but they’re comfy and cool for summer. I just paired the whole outfit with some gladiator sandals and a little bit of jewelry.
Outfit #9: July 8, 2011


Shirt: Old Navy
Shorts: Abercrombie & Fitch
Shoes: Sketchers
Bracelet: Juicy Couture
I can’t believe it’s been a very long time since I’ve done an outfit post! On June 1st, I did a look that was based on this one. However, I thought I’d post the actual outfit now that I have time and a new camera!
The shirt is my favorite, cheap white tee that I have been wearing to death all year long. It’s comfy and can be dressed up or down.
The shorts I’m wearing are a few years old, actually. They’re very light and stretchy. This is one thing I’ve always liked about Abercrombie & Fitch jeans and shorts: they’re of good quality and comfort.
The shoes are not Toms as most of you may have thought. Sketchers makes a line called Cali, which features shoes that look exactly like Toms shoes.
The bracelet wrapped around my wrist is from Juicy Couture. I purchased it for about $20 at one of their shops. It’s very fun to wear however, it tends to get caught on my clothing so I have to be careful.
I didn’t mention my ring because it’s just a little, cheap thing I got at one of NYC’s many flea markets.
» How is Abercrombie doing well?!
I don’t get this. Their sales were down 20% last year and now all of a sudden they’re coming back up? Their clothes aren’t even fashion forward! I wasted my time the other day by going to the huge Hollister on Fifth Ave. Their clothes were exactly the same as they were years ago!
I don’t get how they’re doing it here. It seems that most of their revenue is going to come from their international locations…
