Hello gals.
I think it’s safe to say that the whole Canadian Tuxedo look is my daily uniform.
For real.
The more denim, the better, in my humble opinion.
I like mixing shades of lighter denim, and I like it to be baggy up top, and a little fitted around the legs/butt area, so I don’t look like TOO much of a bag lady.
The whole vintage Levi 501 thing is kind of the shit right now. They kind of outline your booty without being like “HEY EVERYONE CHECK OUT MY SWEET ASS!” Ya know what I mean?
Trying, but not trying at the same time.
I bought these babies at a vintage shop in Austin, but you can find them online as well.
This whole denim-on-denim-on-denim thing is a ‘fashionable’ option for the lazy girl.
I’ve shared this jacket about a million times via Instagram, because I can’t get enough of it.
This jacket was made for me ( obviously, lolz ) & I’m so impressed with the jacket selection, the way the back side came out, and how COMFORTABLE it is.
It was around $200 to get made ( not SUPER expensive for something like this ) and I got a size small, for those of you considering doing this.
They source vintage Levi jackets that are the typical women’s ‘small’ to make these. I was a little nervous about the fit when I ordered it, but its safe to say that these peeps KNOW their fit.
Flawless.
I’ll link a non-custom option below, too. OR you can find one at a local vintage/resale shop! It does usually taking some looking around to find that perfect fit, though.
So, my go-to bag rn: big enough to fit all my shit ( laptop, notebooks, headphones, mini makeup bag, etc ), has a long & a short strap, is such a good color for spring/summer, and it has a little edge because of the perforation.
I’m a big fan of spending a little extra on my every day bags to get real leather and quality hardware. I don’t want it falling apart in .5 seconds.
I don’t buy many brand-name bags, I just focus on the quality and the size. This bag is real leather, from Nordstrom, and it’s affordable for the quality.
I just think that’s the way to go.

So who else is rocking the Canadian Tux on the daily?
OH BTW: I am getting my college ring tomorrow! This is kind of a big deal at Texas A&M, so I’m pretty excited. To ‘celebrate’ ( as tradition would require ), we have to partake in a ‘ring dunk.’ Basically, I’ll be standing on a stage at a bar with all of my closest college girlfriends, and we will be dropping our rings in our personal pitchers ( YES — personal pitcher ) of beer, and chugging the entire thing until we get to the ring at the bottom.
Seriously. All at once. At exactly 10:16.
Then, you can catch me throwing up at 10:17-10:18 ish. LOL. Kidding but not really at all kidding.
Welcome to Texas, my friends.
So, if you want to check out this weird AF tradition, follow me on SNAPCHAT: PAYTON_SARTAIN to hang out! It’ll be a trip.
Talk soon, babes.
