Super Hero Style: Part Two

Last week, I showed you how I styled this funky vintage t-shirt in a slightly “amped-up” casual/cute outfit. Today, I want to show you an additional spin on this look with jeans, a leather jacket and a pair of fringy ankle boots. I loved the feedback I got last week, but perhaps my favorite was the comment that it was an inspiration to “try harder” in regards to everyday style. How easy is it to throw on yoga pants or jeans, and forget about the little details that give an outfit personality? What I’m saying is, it doesn’t take much to give a jeans-and-tshirt outfit a fun twist! Swapping out flip-flops or tennis shoes for a fun shoe with a low heel – a bright pop of color on the lips – simple statement jewelry – all those things can take a simple outfit from drab to fabulous! To an extent – the beauty really is in the details!

I’d also like to mention – I think a good leather jacket is an essential wardrobe piece. I looked for years – literally – before I found this soft grey washed version at Buffalo Exchange for less than $50. It’s one of my favorite pieces in my collection – it goes with everything, I can rolls the sleeves up or down, and the draped neckline gives it a little extra femininity. I’ve listed four different options below, in case you’re in the market for a versatile leather jacket!

What I’m Wearing

Marvel Comics T-Shirt: Vintage (cute versions here, here & here - and yes, I’m partial to Captain America!)
Boyfriend Jeans: Paige (thrifted – but I’ve heard wonders about Gap’s Sexy Boyfriend Jeans!)
Booties: Target (still available online!)
Leather Jacket: Banana Republic Collection (thrifted – cute pink faux option from Nordstrom, studded faux Sam Edelman in the perfect color, moderately priced option from Eddie Bauer, MAJORLY gorgeous investment piece by Vince)
Bracelet: Forever 21
“P” Ring: Thrifted
Lips: Mary Kay “Red Salsa” (discontinued – I recently bought MAC’s Ruby Woo, and I love it!)

I’ve never been a fan of ankle-height shoes until I spotted these low-heeled fringy boots at Target. I got them on clearance a few months ago, but they’re still available online (listed above). They’re my go-to shoes for Spring, especially with jeans, dresses and skirts.

There you have it – the Marvel shirt in all it’s vintage glory!

I bought this ring at a thrift store, for no other reason than it was cute. I don’t have a P in my initials – no family or close friends with a “P” name – but my friend Sarah was quick to remind me that “P” is for PRETTY, and I think of that every time I wear it

And… just in case I didn’t already feel like Super Woman in this outfit, Michael had to go and catch some sun flare in my hair – I LOVE this photo. So much. Thanks for making me feel beautiful friend!

I’m re-wearing these boots in a totally different way next week – and I’ve also got a few other fun things to share with you, including a killer skinny/natural margarita recipe! Have a delightful Thursday!
