So the other week when Cath was in New York she was a sweet heart and bought us matching (yes, matching!) Uniqlo sweaters. I haven’t had the pleasure of going into a Uniqlo store, but I’m been wanting to since it opened up north. This is definitely the next best thing! It also gives us the perfect opportunity to do another “The Same Thing Worn Differently. by the AsianCajuns” segment (we are working on that name).
Here’s Cath’s take (and my personal favorite):
Looking very Frenchie with my old H&M trench coat to keep her dry.
I love how she layered all her bright royal blues together. She was worried she looked smurfy- I think she just looks divine.
The necklace she’s wearing (yet another present she gave me after a business trip) is from Sarah Jessica Parker’s now defunct Bitten line. Was anyone else a fan? The price-points were amazing, the clothes were generally better made than most things you can pick up at the mall, and the designs were classic, but cute, not stogy.
I paired by blue sweater with black Blank cords, a DIY studded tee, a Proenza Schouler for Target scarf and Asos boots.
The red plastic ring is shaped in the silhouette of a diamond ring– my kind of jewelry! Once again, Cath got it for me as a present from another NYC trip. This is from the MoMA store -le swoon. If I were Capote I would have called it “Breakfast at MoMA.” It’s definitely a place where “me and things go together.”
I tied the sweater in the front. Cath tied her’s in the back (see the top pic).
We hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!!! What do you have in store?
xoxo, Lar
I am so loving this color.literally my blue heaven shade of blue!! Once again you style so differently but both are awesome.
I like the backwards effect and I like the red daimond ring!!
Way to rock it girls!
cool beans. that uniqlo is huge no? It’s cool that you guys can rock the same thing so differently. Were you able to get to muji? Just got back from NYC and am missing it already. I wanted to hide in the MOMA and spend the night there.
oh and ps. you guys have pretty epic boots.
my sister and i both are obsessed with uniqlo and moma. and she goes to muji whenever possible, including in the jfk terminal. i love the blog and your two distinct styles. and i agree with greenjeans-very jealous of all your boots. i rarely find any that fit my calves.
fabulous outfits!! i will be heading to sf to visit a friend and family. have a great weekend ladies!
both of you look really cool- love the boots in both pics!
Ahh great outfits ! the sweater(s) look really comfy! about the weekend- i think im gonna make dinner with a friend today thats all i know what are you guys up to?have an great weekend darlings.
I love Uniqlo, they have such great coloured things. I actually bought two tops just yesterday. love how you both styled your cardies!
Beautiful color on both of you like how you both styled very nice.
Looking Fab guys.
Those sweaters are fantastic! Great color!
Ooooh I love the gorgeous hues of blue! Not Smurfy at ALL And that plastic ring = fantabulous!
This feature is SO FUN, you two! I love seeing your two very different styles side by side. And Cath, there is nothing remotely smurfy about your take.
I’m lovin’ both of the looks ladies! 🙂 The blue on blue on blue on blue is fab! And that scarf that Lar is wearing is great!
i love all your blue looks!
BLUE = BEAUTIFUL
j’adore le bleu! i was in NYC two weekends ago but it was soooo cold, my friend actually purchased some good denim from Uniqlo, sadly he went without me and we were only able to go to topshop together.which was a big teaser for myself.
I would wear BOTH THOSE OUTFITS! I love royal/bright blue clothing. I wish I could wear it more often
Great, great outfits! I would definitely wear both of those to work!
Cath–might I say, you look so magazine chic in that first photo. You guys are gorgeous.
I want your ASOS boots so badly.
Blue is one of my favourite color, and it look great.
I’m in love with both outfits.
Thanks for your comment!!
Aww how sweet! I wish I had friends that were this thoughful (Not like my friends aren’t, but they never bring me back fabulous matching sweaters). You both look adorable!
Have a fabulous weekend, girls!
xoxo
You guys are such amazing sisters!
I love the blues you are both wearing, the drapiness of that sweater, and that ring! And of course the new segment with the long name, LOL, you’re too cute.
Happy weekend to you both!
xo
Definitely not smurfy 🙂 I love those black boots in that last picture, so cute!
eeeeeeee so pretty!!!! love all the blues!
Hi there-you both look fabulous and Uniqlos pieces always get my vote!!
Ooohh fabulous looks ladies! I esp. love the H&M trench and your rad scarf- love how you tied it! Hoping you girls can make it to my slumber party- details are on my blog 🙂 xo, Mel
awww matching sweaters that`s so cute : )
The same thing worn differently, great idea! love it!
You both look so lovely in that shade of blue, a favourite shade of mine too! Cath does not look at all smurf like at all! I have a black version of that ring too! Mine was from the pompidu modern art gallery in Paris! So awesome !
You two look great! I love how both of you styled the sweater. The blue color is amazing. and Lar I love your boots. I need to purchase them now! Well, maybe after my toe has been healed!! 🙁 Hope you two are having a beautiful weekend. the weather has been crappy in Hawaii. so much VOG!
Hey ladies. This is unrelated to your post, but I know you (and probably a lot of your readers, including me!) are huge lady gaga fans so I wanted to tell you that all proceeds from merch sold on her site (www.ladygaga.com) today (Sunday Jan 24th) go towards relief efforts in Haiti!
PS, I’m a long time reader, but I’ve never posted.I love the new blog layout!
Hey Josephine! Thanks for letting us know. I didn’t think we could be any bigger Lady Gaga fans, but now I love her even more!
Matching sweaters. how sweet. I like both takes, casual and preppy. Cath’s blue trench is great. I’vc never seen a trench that is that hue! And the asos boots are reallly unique too!
Awww. Fantastic post. I love how your personalities shine through with how you styled the same thing. The electric blue colour is amazing. Uniqlo is great for well-made basics and classics.
I am loving all that blue. Seriously, it’s striking and makes such a statement 😀
♡,
Jessica
I love the blue!!!! Did you see the blue in sandra b’s dress last night, blue is just amazing!
