Levi's 501


Recently, I often wear these jeans from Levi's 501-series. I used to wear jeans from Levi's in my 20s. At that time, I worked part time at a shop which had vintage clothes in Harajuku. When a big box with vintage jeans from Levi's reached the shop, a president of the shop taught the staff about valuable vintage items. We could get great items before they were in the shop. I was so happy. Although I almost forgot everything about vintage clothing, I haven't forgotten the feeling. I think that my casual style comes from that feeling. For about twenties years, I used to wear different jeans, from my son's jeans from GU to trendy jeans in shops like Barneys New York. However, now I want to try Levi's again. I told the Levi's shop staff about my taste, she then chose one pair quickly. Fortunately, those jeans were just my size! I was excited, so I wear them every day. The same jeans are maybe here.

今、いちばんお気に入りのジーンズは、このLevi's501。20代の頃、リーバスをよく履いていました。 原宿のお店でアルバイトしていた時に、ヴィンテージのリーバイスがダンボールにいっぱいアメリカから届いて、社長にヴィンテージの価値も教えてもらいました。スタッフは先にいいのを譲ってもらえるのが嬉しくて、あの時の知識はほとんど忘れてしまったけど、 その時に味わったかっこよさが今も原点になっているみたい。 時々息子にGUのジーンズを貸してもらったり、セレクトショップにあるようなお高いジーンズも試してみたりしたけど、ご無沙汰していたLevi'sに戻りたくなってきました。 そこで、新宿の路面店のお店の女の子にリクエストを伝えると、このジーンズを選んでくれました。一本めでサイズ感も丈もぴったり! 嬉しくて毎日履いています。私のはたぶん、これかな??








This cardigan from Kate Spade was great deal last winter. I found it with a red cardigan online on the official Kate Spade Japan website. When we see many items on sale, the style of some items that had been in the shops six months ago probably look a little old. However, I am sure that we can get wonderful items if we choose them as the deal for own basic style. Waiting in long lines for family sales in big places used to be so hard for me, but now I enjoy shopping for great deals with coffee at home. I was thinking how times have changed for the better!!

このケイト・スペードのコットンカーディガンは、去年の冬のオンラインセールの時に赤いカーディガンと一緒に購入しました。寒い時期のセールの半年前のアイテムは、トレンドが去ったばかりで古く見えますけど、自分のベーシックを基準にじっくり見ていくとお宝が見つかります。以前だったら大きなファミリーセール会場で行列に並んでくたくたになったのが嘘のよう。仕事の合間に、美味しいコーヒーをいれて優雅にお買い物ができるなんて素敵な時代になりました♡

  3. You look so lovely in this Levis 501. I really like this model, it's so iconic and classical. Plus, it looks great on you. I also like your bag. This is a great styling. You look fantastic in this!

    I stole a pair of vintage Levis 501 jeans from my husband. I also have a pair I wore as a teen but they became so worn out I had to turn them into shorts....I still like them, though. I wear them in summer.

  6. I use to work for Levis when I lived in Seattle, they do indeed make some great jeans and I too recently bought a pair of Levis about a year ago I got the wedgie cut. Yes 501s are their biggest sellers.

    And the Kate Spade top and bag are gorgeous! And love the pop of pink with the shoes.
