new thrifted leather pants

Fashion
Mar 4, 200982 Comments

Yesterday when I left for school my mom was getting all excited because one of our favorite thrift stores was having a leather sale. She was like, "I'm going to get us sooooo many leather pants, Jane!!!" 
I wish I didn't have school so I could have gone too!
But when I got home from school my mom had bags and bags of leather pants. LOL.

Some of them turned out to be definite 'no's but this pair was a definite keeper.
(Also keepesr: cute oversized leather shorts and my mom got this amazing pair of leather culottes that look SO good with her Ann D's)
Leather pants worn with patent Alaia studded gladiators, a borrowed wool coat, AA tank and Alex and Chloe deerhorn neckace+my own cross
pics of other finds to come soon!
Gotta go to school now but maybe some of the leather pants my mom got will make it to the up-and-coming vintage store :)
xx jane

    hilarious – musta been leather pants day as i bought a pair at the thrift yesterday too! sadly mine turned out too small. i was really hoping they’d fit like yours there.. but they will soon be a lovely purse and the sleeves to a crocheted sweater:D
    can’t wait to see if/what your mom does with the “no’s.” her refashions are always inspiring.

    I remember you doing a post some time back about jumpsuits from Target and only owning a few jumpsuits – just wondering if you’d like to see or if you already knew about this!

    it’s very easy for leather pants to be so wrong. as ever, you get them so right.
    i can’t believe you’re only 17, your style has the sophistication of someone much older. without ever looking like a young girl wearing clothes that are too old for her.
    i’m gushing a little but you really do deserve all the recognition you get.
