Got my new Tory Burch creepy-cool beetle sneakers and am really loving them! After Thursday's closet challenge, where I was more dressed up than I usually opt for, I felt the desire to revert to my more extra-casual self.

Scored this really cool vintage 70's beat-up leather jacket at the thrift store recently for $35. I'm a fan of 70's leather because so many of the styles were more cropped and somewhat fitted, which I think works better on my small/short frame. I especially loved the warm brown/tan color and the cool zippers on the sleeves that run all the way up the arm of the jacket (and I got a kick out of the vintage label in it that says "Made exclusively for the Clothes Horse", Coral Gables, FL).

Decided to go "Full on Fauna" with my jewelry as well (and provided some detail shots since none of the jewelry is large in style). The beetle necklace is actually a real beetle encased in lucite (interestingly enough, identical to one of the beetle types on the sneakers) that my boyfriend randomly surprised me with several years ago (the guy really knows my quirky tastes!) I get a kick out of it because whatever is in the lucite is designed so it actually glows in the dark!

So what do you think of my first styling of the creepy-cool beetle kicks?

Jacket: Vintage (thrifted)
Navy blue & Blue/Green striped t-shirt (Splendid via thrift store)
Jeans: AG Stilt roll up (via ebay)
Sneakers: Tory Burch (via ebay)
Bag: Vintage cigarette wrapper purse (the purse was made in the 60's by prisoners for their girlfriends/wives). It is actually entirely made from woven Camel cigarette box wrappers that are woven using different parts to create a cool pattern. I acquired it and a bunch of other ones as part of an estate buyout I did many years ago when I was still in the vintage clothing business.
Brass bird cutout earrings: Can't remember the brand but bought them on Gilt back when they first launched.
