the hole thing

(Topshop sweater, American Apparel mesh bodysuit, RVCA shorts, Aldo wedges, Luxeshop talon necklace)

Both Wang and Isabel Marant are to thank for introducing the idea of sweats being appropriate for wearing outside the house..so yeah pretty comfortable.

The breakdown:

  • FINALLY wearing the Topshop sweater I bought last year, it reminds me of Waterworld..as horrible as that movie is I'm totally into the idea of looking like an apocalyptic pirate. Favorite part = sticking my thumbs through the holes.
  • mesh bodysuit is perfect under most everything
  • I cut off these shorts to make them more me, ie. microscopic
  • Thanks to Lisa from luxeshop for the talon necklace, check out her shop to see the cool details
  • These Aldo wedges are ridiculously comfortable due to adjustable tie straps and the slightly lower than usual heel..must try with tights
  • Really wishing I was in Hawaii right now..chilling on an empty beach with Colin on the North Shore in a non-existent bikini with a stash of hurricane popcorn before getting caught in a tropical downpour..okay daydreaming over..

I love your sweater it's soooooo cute on you. I LOVE the holes I'm pro anything with a deconstructed or distressed look right now. Happy weekend Rumi baby. I love you.

I love that just after I finished bitchin' to my best friend that aldo surprisingly shitty this season, you come out with those dope ass aldo wedges I never noticed. Which makes me think my online shopping process is all out of wack.

So my question is going to sound odd or it's all ready been asked--could you tell me a little bit about your shopping process--do you just quickly skim at first and then gradually return to items---or do you meticulous check every item one by one, learning every detail about each item?

Mona said...

I own the sweater myself and I looove it! The shoes are amazing! Aldo always has something nice to offer! Cute style sweetie!!

KEREN said...

Ooh, much love for the sweater! The shorts are really great too. I approve of sweats being worn outside the house, especially when they look as good as those do on you. And to keep this ramble going, the heels are muy cute. ;)

gennie said...

ahh those aldo shoes are so great! they look like a mad mix of the chloé suede wedges i'm dying to get and dolce vita sandals.

camille said...

ah, sweats. i haven't been out of my baggy zara pants since i got back from ny and i'm loving it. even considering buying the isabel marant sweats at a local boutique... spendy but they could get a crazy amount of wear.

Lauren said...

I read your beauty post a few days ago and wrote down the items I thought were interesting. Yesterday while at Target I bought the Almond Oil Body Gloss and I love it. Thanks for sharing what you use.

PS Love the wedges!!

tania said...

the shoes are great.

Victoria C said...

Love those wedges, I'm waiting for the beige pair to wear with boyfriend jeans this spring.
Of course, Canada is lagging behind and they aren't in stock yet.

you look fabolous in the last two outfits!!!

Tamara said...

Hey, I looove the sweater, is great! :)

Shini said...

hah love how you cut the pants, they don't really look like sweats anymore. Bah I tried those Aldo shoes on in store and didn't really like them, but now they'll haunt me forever. I did wish the cage thingy was less close to eachother so there's more 'string', but well, the heel is the shizz. Thanks for starting another un-buyer's remorse.

Cindy said...

rumi, i really love this look. your making me want to buy everything. i think i'm going to have to get the heel, they're so lux. i'm totally feeling you with the hawaii thing. i haven't seen my boyfriend in two weeks and he comes home today. i just want to whisk him away for a while ;)

Stephanie said...

The gray sweatshort cut-offs, with the suede lace-up wedges and the sweaaaaaattttteeeeer-----> LOVE IT!!! It looks soo fantastic on you!

And your Hawaiian daydream sounds brilliant anytime of the year ;)

Have a great weekend, lady!

I'm really into this idea of sweats with beautiful shoes, I want to try it out with full length ones and ankle boots.

Coco said...

I love how you wear the short, it's so cool on you :)

Like you, i really think Wang and Marant's propositions are the best way to wear it.

Sabrina said...

Oh no same shoes! Not that it's a bad thing, but you're so influential I'm sure by next week the rest of the blogosphere will have bought these also ;) Looks like I'm going to have to really customize them now... heh

caylee said...

glad you finally wore the sweater!

they have a very similar sweater like that at h&m, but it's short sleeved and a dress...so cool too.

brittanyalexis said...

as i'm sure you already know - there's a poet with the last name Rumi. i was reading kite runner and they mentioned him and my mind wandered to your blog. as if you already didn't know, i looove this outfit. the shoes are absolutely to die for.

"The ground's generosity takes in our compost and grows beauty! Try to be more like the ground." -Jelaluddin Rumi

Micaela said...

Im talking about the wedges, I love them they are so awesome! The sweater is the perfect amount of holey-ness.. hehe.. I've been wanting to destroy a sweater but Im much to afraid. Also.. I shockingly like the sweat shorts..very unexpected of me.

Don't Be A Hero said...

perfect pair to chop if you ask me

have you ever noticed how critically a-craped, nearly cult movies usually breed the coolest styles? like blow and velvet goldmine

I've kinda always loved that

I've been hunting for something similar lately, I was actually planning on pairing it with my AA gray acid wash shorts,

I've got that body suit and I'd have to agree. I really wasn't expecting it to be so damn comfortable, ya know?
