Although Micol and I generally share the same fashion sensibilities, since she prefers to remain the photographer behind the lens it’s rare for our readers to get a glimpse of her individual style. A shame if you ask me, because she’s one of the most fashion-forward girls I know.
Don’t believe me? Check out how she worked 80%20’s versatile Edie loafer into two completely different, but equally cool, looks below…
WORKING WOMAN
Outfit details: Marc Jacobs Crosby Sutton bag, Blank Denim jeans, White zip blazer from La Di Da Dee, Brooklyn.
Work attire doesn’t need to be a drag! Here Micol dressed up the Edie for the office by incorporating a black and white palette, a crisp blazer and a structured handbag. I especially like how the black and white tones allow the subtle color of the shoes to stand out.
BRUNCH BEAUTY
Outfit details: Thrifted sundress, Vintage Member’s Only jacket, Marc Jacobs 70’s style shoulder bag, vintage belt.
Who wants to think about the office during your day off? To achieve a laid-back weekend look, Micol paired the Edie with a voluminous striped sundress and vintage bomber jacket. Perfect for brunch at one of our local favorites, Walter Foods (PS: See if you can spot our favorite bartender Reuben in the background).
Getting Lauren into anything other than four inch heels or her $hitkicker wedge boots can be a challenge, but when she saw these 80%20 suede brogues she instantly fell in lust. And good luck trying to get them off her feet after she realized how comfortable they were. As usual, I was reminded of our daily frustration – we’re not the same shoe size.
Paired with some cuffed black jeans, a studded belt and her boyfriend’s vintage tee it was the perfect outfit for a low-key dinner at one of our favorite nearby spots, Traif .
Insider tip: If you ever get a chance to check the place out yourself, don’t forget to order the bacon doughnuts. They’re almost as drool-worthy as these shoes.
xx, Micol
What is The Marcy Stop? It’s a New York fashion blog that’s the brainchild of two friends and neighbors living and swapping clothes in Williamsburg, Brooklyn just off the Marcy Stop of the JMZ subway line. Here are a few things to keep in mind about Micol (the photographer) and Lauren (her muse) as they join 80%20 as guest bloggers this month:
Lauren: total Francofile, graphic artist/designer/sometimes painter, California girl at heart, of Vietnamese descent, has been known to spontaneously break out into a British accent.
Micol: Baker, half-marathon runner, closeted writer, Jameson enthusiast, tech nerd, of Sicilian heritage, will spontaneously break out into a Southern accent.
Mutual Loves: cocktails, Alexander Wang, Pies ‘n’ Thighs, summer/the beach, home cooking, travel, dance parties, oysters, accents, our neighborhood, and our bike gang: the Southside Heartbreakers.
Our daily frustration: we’re not the same shoe size…

Outfit details: Boy. by Band of Outsiders shrunken oxford shirt, J.Crew sweatshirt, Rag & Bone shorts, 80%20 Molly sandals
These sandals are so comfy, especially with the hidden wedge for some heel cushioning, I was running all over town in them…literally. I wore this outfit to go house hunting this weekend (we haven’t found the one yet…the search continues!) I like the boyish look of the Molly sandals with these Rag & Bone cargo shorts, and it would have been too easy to overcommit to a safari look, but I wanted to feminize it with a pop of bright pink.
