Happy Friday, Ladies! Friday really means something after my the first week of school. Frankly, I’m exhausted! (If you’re wondering what I wore, see here.)
One thing I definitely did not wear it this funky tee I bought on our trip to LA last month!
Isn’t it fun? A guy onsite at a little boutique on Melrose takes old concert tees and adds the laces and distressed look.
I styled it in a weekend look with cropped jeans, Vans, and my new fav sunglasses, Illesteva Leonard 2

Thank God the first week of school is (almost) over!

Hey HOT rocker chicka!!! Been thinking of you all week, hope you've got great classes this year!! You sure are looking mighty fine, love the lace up!! Get some rest this weekend sweet pea!!
Aww thanks Andrea! It's been a heck of a week, but the first week always is! Yay for the weekend! 😀
I love this post! Lace up T-shirt is a great idea. The sweet puppy stole the show! Peace! Cheryl

Very cool tee! I've enjoyed having practically no concept of time whatsoever this summer, so as you mentioned it will be weird in a week when Fridays and weekends actually mean something! Thanks for hosting and enjoy your well deserved weekend!

Love the lace up and 70s vibe with this tee! WHy didnt I keep all my concert tees? I used to wear my Metallica tee at the music school in college! Going to check on those jeans too. You look awesome and love the sunglasses for that cool vibe! The first week, I remember was always exhausting!
