I think the trick to Spring is mastering the art of layering. At least in Chicago it remains true. One day it's 70, the next it's 40. Either way, I've learned to make good use of my closet!
This tshirt is over a decade old. I keep it because it's such a different spin on the traditional Stones tees. In all honesty, everything I'm wearing is old; just well preserved. My trick to shopping inexpensively is to take care of the $20 shirt just the same as you would the $120 shirt. Hand to god!
It's hard not to love a good flare jean, too. I get more compliments on these suckers! I remember buying these in 2004 and feeling like it was such a big splurge to buy designer denim. Still is but there is a lesson here: buy what you love and it will always be in style!
