Serve and Obey
don't you just love a successful thrifting spree?? i got all this great stuff from a thrift barn behind a temple in my town. The leather pants fit me perfectly but are a little too boot cut. I can't decide if i wanna make them into shorts, take in the legs so they are more fitted, or just wear them with a loose roll at the bottoms. . .
These great old combat boots are a bit too big for me (fit like a 9) so i might stud them and list them on etsy. . .
This wool school-boy blazer's pocket had the most fantastic embroidery. . . thus the reason for my buying the jacket. I think i'm going to remove the pockets and sew them onto something better fitting. . . I am pretty in love with the symmetrically bucking goats and the phrase "serve and obey" maybe it can become my Rackk and Ruin logo or something. . .
and the vintage oversized "Big Top" shirt just called to me.
It has a great slit almost all the way up one side and will be worn daily this summer.

wow such great finds man
love the big top, very chic&quirky. yess the sweater won't work with pants unless I wan't top look 90's in a bad (very bad) way! Don't you find that always the best finds come at the most random times? I just ran into that thrift store yesterday because the sunny day shifted to rain and I was half naked!

That's my old school's crest! Our blazers were forest green, but the boy's school next door has navy blazers and they have the same crest: http://www.habsboys.org.uk/
Amazing. Are you in Burlington right now? Imagine this blazer travelling from Herts, UK to Vermont!
Hey Molly, I googled Timothy Johnson and Habs and got so many results. I guess it's a really common name. A bit more info if you're interested, looks like the crest the Haberdashers' Livery Company's (http://www.haberdashers.co.uk) and they own a bunch of schools and I think some charities. I really look forward to seeing what you'll make with the crest!
Also, I've been reading your blog for ages, I'll be really happy if we could exchange links: http://ohmylungs.blogspot.com/
