An independent outlook on style

{my} stuff


A lot of people ask me where I buy my clothes, and how they can get them, too. Since I am still transitioning from my winter closet to my summer one, I have lost track of the clothes that I own and have begun organizing them in piles. Instead of sifting through those piles, I thought I would share with you some clothes that I recently purchased. This past weekend, in fact, I splurged and purchased a pair of mens-wear inspired slacks from American Apparel, the ones in the image. I love them! Buy them online at americanapparel.com. At {indie} independent, we love to try out all trends, and love to make them our own! I wore these pants with a tan loose top, vintage belt, and Jeffrey Campbell woven flats! So cute! And as my friends say, "I'm reppin' Dickies!" 

Another outfit that people tend to ask where I purchased it, tends to be my high-waisted jeans with a red and white striped crop top. I found great high-waisted jeans from Urban Outfitters, and they flatter everyone's figure! And for only $58, it's a great buy! Buy them online at urbanoutfitters.com. I love the high-waisted jean trend, and the nautical theme trend, so why not incorporate both? Try an outfit like the one in the image to the right. Sorry for the odd angle (I was ordering food. Yay, Greek food!), but as you can see, I am wearing a skinny brown belt (vintage), the high-waisted jeans, my red and white crop top (vintage), Jeffrey Campbell brown woven flats (not pictured; you can purchase other Jeffrey Campbell shoes at nordstroms.com), a brown cross-body bag (vintage, I think) and a gold Scottie-dog brooch (vintage; sorry, it's small). Most of my vintage pieces are from Goodwill, or Urban Ore (a recycling drop off center for re-usable materials, in Berkeley, Ca). I also love Etsy shops, and I can always find great items (my red and white crop top!). 

Thanks! I hope you have some ideas of where to shop now, and hopefully I have answered your questions! (:
