... at least if your gramps is the type to wear camo and loafers at the same time.
(And if you didn't catch on... I'm obsessed with this video. Especially 0:58... I die.)

I've been consciously focusing on expanding my collection of flats. As a heels girl, it's hard for me to take off the stiletto-goggles when I shop -- seriously, it's like I have tunnel vision. But I'm starting to trust that flats that are "me" will jump off the page/rack and slap me in the face when I see them, and will therefore jump off my feet and slap everyone around me in the face with their Sam-ness when I wear them. And deep down, that's kind of what I want everything in my closet to do.
So the moral of the story? It's either "the shoes" (like "the one") will find you when you're not looking OR buy things that slap you.
Obsessed with this outfit. And that video. The camo and stripes are perfect together, and you look pretty ballin' in your grandpa flats. That don't actually look like grandpa loafers at all.
ReplyDeleteI mean, it'd have to be a preettttyyyy Hefner-esque gramps to rock these babies. But I'd support it. ;)
DeleteHahaha 'slap you in the face' - that's hilarious! I love this outfit! Great jacket! I've been loving camo and stripes recently too, and I'm always a flats > heels girl :)

I checked it out FA SHO! We're clutch twins, I just bought it's sister last time I was at Target :)
DeleteOkay that video was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteGotta remember to wait till something jumps up and slaps me. I'm too quick to just grab something that lazily saunters nearby and gives me a "whatever fool" shrug.

BAHAHAHAHAHA "whatever fool shrug" kills me... we are going to make this a thing ;) We want slaps, not shrugs!!
DeleteI love this look. I've been really drawn to the edgy-feminine look lately and I love all the details you have going on here!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel like my favorite outfits are always the mixed ones, with something tough and something girly mixed in.
DeleteI wasn't sure if you'd see the reply to your comment on my post...but my skirt is the off white one!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks for making sure! Yours looks way better than mine. I ordered the off white but it looks almost dirty pink in person. I guess that's the gamble you take on a $10 skirt!
DeleteBahahaha I just recently heard that song. So ridic. But kinda addicting..
ReplyDeleteLove this look though! I like the colors going on here. And the camo. And the fact that those jeans fit you like a dream. <3
SO. RIDICULOUS. And I can't stop listening. I don't know why it took me so long to buy camo... I want to go shoot some thangs!! ;)
Deletelove love love those shoes, but can we talk about the serious amazingness that is going on with your hair!? If you have secrets you aren't sharing I am going to sic Doug on you ... and he will lick you. You have been warned!

NOT DTP!!! I'll confess I'll confess ;) Between you and Fran I promise I will work on a post but I can also promise that you guys will find it inccrreeedddiiibbblllyyyy anticlimactic ;)
DeleteI WANT VIDEOS. SAM ON VLOG PLEASE.
DeleteYou may get your wish young padawan!!
DeleteMy husband likes to pop his non-booty around the house and sing "I'm gonna pop some tags." I'm not sure he's ever been thrift shopping, but he's gonna pop some tags.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jessica: your hair...say whaaaat? Absolutely lovely.
Finally, I looked at those jeans and thought, "I like those. They look familiar." I then realized it's because I own them. They're one of my favorite pairs to wear because they're so comfortable!

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA the visual there is STUNNING. Cheers to great songs and great jeans ;)
DeleteDamn You!! I haven't been able to watch/listen to any other music since yesterday!! I think my fav line is "Aw, he got the Velcros"
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to see my granddad in what you're wearing tho. He wouldn't do it justice ;-)
YES!! THE SNEAKERHEADS LIKE OHHHH HE GOT THE VELCROS... except that line makes me want to go buy wedge sneakers and sing that song every time I wear them. I swear everything makes me shop :P
DeleteI love this look!!! Those flats are awesome. I wear heels ALL the time but I am trying to incorporate more flats into my wardrobe.

Thanks Amy! I'm the exact same way. I always reach for heels, but flats need love too! Plus it's a nice break for the old footsies.
DeleteYou look amazing!!!!!!!!!! I love camo, and those shoes are to die for. I had those on my shoe lust list for fall. I never ended up getting them, but love love love em.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time in my life where I had a flat phobia, but I've overcome it now that I've got kids.
You could call buying several pair of amazing flats desensitization therapy. Hey, if it's treatment it shouldn't count as excessive shopping.

Oh my gosh, if you can find them on sale somewhere you should totally get a pair. They're so comfy, and the cap toe makes me less iffy about the loafer thing. I am in loooove :) AND STOP FEEDING MY SHOPPING ADDICTION... you just make so much sense ;)
DeleteSo those jeans must have jumped off the rack and jumped on you Sam... I think it was love at first sight when they disovered this pretty girl walking by ;-). You have to tell me the specific name of the jeans, I want some love affair with them too hahahaha ;-). And those slippers are soooo hefnerishish, love em'- NEED em -BAM!
ReplyDeleteLove me some edgy girly mix going on there, you nail it!
Sorry for my long absence friend not feeling very good recently :-(
Hope you are doing great girl

I have MISSED. YOUR. FACE. Feel better my miauh kitten! The jeans are from American Eagle, they're actual skinnies and not jeggings. Jeggings make me look like a sausage. :)
DeleteI like the maroon flats with the camo jacket...and the song cracks me up too!

DeleteI found your blog through someone elses blog and I love it! Your outfits are the best-seriously! I want this whole outfit in my closet right now!
ReplyDeleteXO, Kelsey
Could you be any prettier? You look stunning in this photo and I absolutely adore this look. I guess I'm taking a trip to f21 to buy yet ANOTHER stripe shirt, no two stripes are the same. Am I right?
