Rebel Yell

When I put this outfit together, my Mod Cloth package had not arrived yet. My husband and I went out to a company holiday dinner and returned to find the package at my doorstep. I wore the clogs because I liked the height, but I wasn’t sure how much they kept in the “rocker” feel of this outfit. If I had my “Walk the Walk Boots”, I think it would have complimented this outfit just fine.

No matter what, I’m always going to love my rock t-shirts. I have so many from dozens of concerts that I’ve attended over the years. Back in the 80’s, I bought them large to cinch them a bit on the side or wear them long with leggings. Now I wear them more fitted and with everything. I wear them dressed up or down, and even to bed (my older shirts that are bit too big). My all time favorites are my first Duran Duran concert shirt from 1984 and a Depeche Mode one from 1985. They’ve worn over the years to that soft vintage feel. My more recent favorites are Joy Division, Recoil, a limited edition John Mayer Trunk shirt, Marc Broussard, and the Billy Idol one I’m wearing here. Music is a big part of my life, and I don’t mind incorporating it into what I wear.


Outfit: Forever 21 sweater; Billy Idol concert shirt (2008); Hudson bootcut Jeans; Hot Topic pyramid studded belt; Gifted Union Jack belt buckle from Bristol, England; Burberry scarf; Juicy Couture sunnies and ring; Jeffrey Campbell clogs

      1. I just ordered them. They went on sale for $36.99 AND Modcloth uses Ebates, so I have an additional 3.5% going back into that account. Woo!

        1. Lucky you! I just bought them last week and paid full price. But I wore them today and got lots of compliments at work…AND they are really comfortable! Let me know what you think when you get them!

  1. Awesome outfit! I wish I’d saved my concert shirts from the late 80’s. Alas, the shirts were size L, since it was fashionable back then to wear it baggy! Remember that? I miss my Smithereens “Green Thoughts” tour shirt!

    1. I remember that! Which is why I have a lot of concert shirts that I use for sleep shirts. Anything I’m wearing now are new one’s from recent concerts…except for some Depeche Mode and Duran Duran ones that actually fit right now because I bought them so small.

      You saw The Smithereens in concert!? “Blood and Roses” is my favorite song by them.
