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

January 21st, 2010 at 10:54 pmcool 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.

January 21st, 2010 at 11:38 pmmy 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.

January 24th, 2010 at 10:57 amHey 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!
