Pretty Legit recently purchased a pair of Doc Martens. There was something in her nonchalant pose, her bare legs, and her simple tee-shirt that reminded us of one of our old shoots Spin Me Right Round. The geeky girl gone chic vibe is very much alive in the Doc Marten aesthetic and in our shoot so we thought we would dig through some of the proofs that were never published just for fun. And guess what we found? We are guessing that great minds really do style alike. Sure its just a passing fancy that connects the two shots for us and our model isn't actually wearing proper Doc Martens but it sure makes us feel like bearing our legs and going out in stompers.

Pretty Legit has turned our attention to Forever 21's incredibly cheap and yet totally darling panties. At first we thought we were simply going to enjoy the look but find ourselves disgusted by the fabrics. But miraculously the collection includes many 100% cotton options. Thus while community members Fashion Indie, Catwalk Queen, and Chic and Untroubled focus in on Kate Moss' return to Agent Provocateur for their new bridal range we think we prefer the cheap chic option for a change. There are plenty of lacy white underthings if you have a rational aversion to debt when getting hitched.

Our network partner, Pretty Legit, gave a shoutout to one of our most favorite vintage finds: the marching band jacket. A structured vintage coat, whether it's a military jacket or other kind of wild costumery, always gets us going. What we like most about Pretty Legit's shoutout, to a fashionista wearing the marching band jacket, are the tails on this particular coat. If this tailoring is what you seek, picking up a vintage version is easy enough. Every tuxedo store in town should have this style of coat, and it shouldn't cost you more than $150 (especially if you can sneak yourself into a boy's version!). If it's the structure and lapel details that get you going, check out our spread of some options, below. Either way, a structured, tight-fitting wool coat is always a smart wardrobe staple, as our educated network partner, Pretty Legit, points out.
