My Timberland Vans Experiment This Morning
Got my dusty Timberland Vans outta the closet, stared at them like they owed me money. Wanted something quick before school run. Grabbed random stuff from my drawer, hoping magic happens.
First Try: Fancy Look Disaster
Thought black slacks and white button-up shirt would make them classy. Wrong. Looked like a waiter who just quit. Tried rolling the pants, bunching awkwardly around the ankle. Flopped hard. Needed texture or something.
- Added this scratchy beige scarf. Worse.
- Wristwatch? Just felt like a confused waiter.
- Tried black leather belt to tie it together. Nope. Lunch lady vibes.
Casual Reset
Said screw it, ripped off the shirt and scarf. Pulled on faded blue jeans instead. Immediate improvement. Cuffed those jeans twice. Shows the boot silhouette.
Dug deeper into the closet:
- Found an old washed-out gray hoodie. Slightly big.
- Threw on plain white tee underneath. Basic? Maybe. But safe.
- Messy high bun, silver hoop earrings. Looked… effortlessly okay.
Checked mirror. Hoodie hid the collar too much. Rolled hoodie sleeves up to elbows. Boom. Saw the tee sleeve and shoe leather together.
Quick Changes For Different Moods
Wanted a slight upgrade later. Swapped the hoodie for a thick, light brown shacket. Buttoned it wrong at first, looked crooked. Fixed it, let tee peek out at neck. Dark jeans cuffed still. Simple.
Threw out other combos that might work:
- Black skinny jeans + band tee + denim jacket
- Camo joggers + black crew neck (tucked in!)
- Olive green cargo pants + heather gray thermal top
Messy win? For sure. Coffee splashed on right shoe during testing. Wiped it quick, actually gave it a ‘distressed’ character. Bonus.
The trick? Keep it simple. Don’t force it. And cuff them damn pants.
