Too Poor for Couture

Multitask

Too Poor for Couture — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:26:39 +0000

Mom’s Pluto sweater, Forever 21 shorts, Frye boots, OTK socks from Japan, Free People watch, H&M bracelets

One of the things I miss about Japan is their sock stores. Yes, they have huge ass stores full of SOCKS in every single color/print/style/length you can imagine. When I was studying abroad there in college I must’ve shopped more sock stores than I ever will for the rest of my life, and these were one of the many pairs I purchased – but I still regret not getting more!

Leather + Sneaks

Too Poor for Couture — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:37:36 +0000

Topshop sweater, Zara pants, mom’s Helmut Lang denim jacket

I love how versatile leather is. Most of the time I use it to spice up an outfit or dress up. This time I paired it casually with a denim jacket and Keds. As much as I love dressing up, at the end of the day, comfort will always be key.

Adidas X Jeremy Scott ObyO Wings Leather V Jacket

I know this Adidas X Jeremy Scott jacket has been out for awhile and I’ve been obsessing over it for so long. Pretty sure it’s still sold out and isn’t getting restocked. STILL obsessed! If anyone can find it – please let me know!!

Being Bad

Gifted sweater and necklace, American Apparel leggings, Urban Outfitters shoes

Being “Bad” (cue Michael Jackson). Love the element of pop in this pair of red leggings. Of course the zipper detail is totally awesome as well.

Sometimes adding a little detail here and there make big statements. How cute is the rocking horse?

Beastly

Found a gem at Forever 21 in this red studded leather jacket. I want to break into the moonwalk.

Why don’t I own a pair of Doc Martens yet?! In order of preference (of course the first has to be THAT much more than the others), below are three I’d wear to threads.

Izzue Stud in Black $240

1460 Women’s in Purple $115

Taking full advantage of Instagram and it’s amazing photo editing tools (follow me @toopoorforcouture!). Found a corner at work that works pretty well for photo opps, so today is my first time utilizing it. The life of a fashion blogger without a photographer!
