Did you buy anything?

Sadly, I did not.

I’m a writer, but I’m

unemployed, so

money has been a

little tight. I saw some

great leather pants,

Helmut Lang, but

then I realized I was

already wearing

leather pants.

Where are those from?

Prada, from a thrift

store. The fanny pack

is from a thrift store

in Houston. It was $5.

The sweater is Isaac

Mizrahi, from another

thrift store. It came

with a pair of

matching leggings.

The leather shirt is

Banana Republic,

from a thrift store in

Bushwick, and the

sunglasses are Gucci,

new, a gift from my

partne

literally all of the

fancy things I own.

the look book goes to

A Bed-Stuy

Stoop Sale

Organized by a fashion editor and

a photographer, a sale where passersby

picked up a snakeskin hat, white leather

bell-bottoms, and a pink kimono.
