Hey, Hobo, tell us a story.
[J.Crew caftan blouse + TR cutoffs + Kors fringed boots + J.Crew hat + Splendid wrap cardi]
Rob and I won a trip to Delaware but things went downhill quickly when we refused to pay the $5 airport tax. Rob shook his fist at the ticket counter and we were thrown out for breaking the “Anti-Fist-Shaking Law.” With minimal transportation options, Rob suggested we wait for a freight train to roll through Shushan. On the train we met a hobo, and after giving him a thorough sponge bath, he told us a story.
Ok, I’m totally kidding. We were taking the long road through VT listening to a Howard Stern segment about a 600-lb woman who has a website where she funnels heavy cream and chocolate milk. The initial reason for pulling over will be hinted at in a moment.
[Rob waits patiently behind a hungry family for his mint chocolate chip cream, clearly losing hope as each minute ticks by.]
It was a perfect, storybook, sweltering Vermont afternoon, complete with stops for roadside ice cream, a pit stop in the bushes where I was caught with my pants down by a very talkative stray cat, waves hello to the Battenkill cows, and various species of roadkill.
This shirt is my new favorite thing. I got it in hot pink as well (sale at jcrew.com, check it out), and it has this Isabel Marant feel to it with the fluorescent accents. I can’t wait to wear them with all black, when I won’t risk heatstroke as a result.

omg i feel like such a nerd busting out a comment yet again, but seriously i am trying not to pee my pants laughing at this post. not the outfit (of course – fa-bu-lous), but the freaking writing. where do you come up with this?? you’re a genius and we need your mahnd (think franc from father of the bride)
FRANC IS THE BEST
why can’t he reprise his role as Franc. Man.
I love your comments, don’t change, shorty—don’t change.
This is what I sugg-ewe-st. I sugg -ewe-st we choose a chake first. So let’s just choose a chake, ok? THIS is fab-lus.
Welcome to the 90s Mr. Baaaanks!
Franck is my fav.
Ahahaha, I was just about to say, “Oh no you DIDN’T. ” With a head shake and a snap to go with it.
And of course the cat was talkative…you were probably marking HIS bushes. Ha Ha Ha
Oh, and the shirt. Love it. Got it in pink at my local J. Crew. They were out of the lavender. I am still trying to find a perfect pair of cut offs like yours. When you cut them yourself, how do you figure out where to cut them? I can never get the perfect length.
HAHA. This just made my day. You are hysterical.
a. I’m pretty sure that’s why he was so mad. He skirted off up a hill while I was going and just yelled at me. b. I haven’t worn the pink yet, but I’m thinking with leather shorts and my P&J suede fringed booties. You inspired me. c. has your daughter tried to steal it from you yet? haha d. I am seriously suffering trying to cut off pants. I ruined a black pair of Citizens last week, then went round 2 on these awesome Seven Dojo jeans, but if anything I was conservative so I’ll let them fray then go back. The key I’ve found is holding up another pair of cutoffs and marking how high up the leg they are. There’s usually a little dot stitch there. Then I marked the inner thighs. Then I traced under the pocket, and the last part I just totally effed up and made them too long. I think I’m cutting off jeans that are too fitted around the legs or something. The best part of these white ones is the wide leg hole, which I’m starting to think they just made ’em that way.
I love jcrew blouse.

I have one that almost beats “Franc”. We went on a hike in Harstad, Norway, and the Norwegian guide tried very hard, but his English was a little sketchy. “Ven ve get to ze top of ze montain..mon-tane…ve vill be served some coffee and snakes.” A few of us almost got busted for uncontrollable laughter!
