▲ THE WORK WEEK vs. THE WEEKEND 


HAPPY HUMP DAY. 

(Being that it's Wednesday and the half-way point to the weekend—I figured I'd share a style post which is a casual weekend vs. workday outfit spin on two looks which incorporate some of the same items of clothing.)


(THE WEEKEND.)
Ready to cruise the sun-soaked beachfront with beers in hand, this look is all about: casual, comfortable, cool (and cheap.) Perfect for that "giving a care but not looking like I do" slacker Sundayfunday mode...this is it. 
Last weekend, I did a little thrifting myself and picked up a size L striped blue/white turtleneck from Goodwill for only $3. I actually cut off the sleeves and created a boat-neck style from the neck. Wala! There you have a perfect oversized, super soft, comfy striped one-shoulder tee (add a tank underneath if that's your thing.)
Levi's 501 cutoff vintage shorts are available from The Sunset Sessions shop.
And so is the custom black vintage leather cuff in 'The Hook' model.
Socks are 19" Skatersocks navy tube socks, worn with low chucks.
Throw in an old skateboard and bagged can of PBR...you are cruising.
If you get chilly at sundown—an old vintage denim Levi's jacket, hoodie or beat up black leather moto jacket totally rocks with this look.


(THE WEEKDAY.)
This look is a more polished upgrade from the weekend look; still super comfortable, yet suitable for professional office environments—and with enough of a unique twist that it doesn't feel too office blah, blah, boring, cliche. 
Basically, you take the same modified striped tee made for the weekend, and, use it as a baselayer to add an old vintage denim chambray shirt, layered on top with an old classic vintage camel leather jacket. (The one pictured here is a very special 1970s reversible leather jacket from Spain. Totally insane.) 
Add a pair of skinny bootleg dark indigo vintage or selvege denim, and a pair of camel vintage leather boots. (Pictured here, are old 7forAllMankind super skinny indigo jeans and vintage ALDO boots.)
The matching camel brown leather cuff is a custom handmade design available from The Sunset Sessions
