La outfit 3

Third day in LA I wore this very comfortable jersey dress with a vintage belt for this simple but classic look. I started the morning at the new bakery 189 by Dominique Ansel but the highlight of the afternoon was a trip to the famous Stahl house.

LA Street Style Day 3

 After a 9-year absence, my fashionable friend Emma returned to LA from Japan this summer. I flew down from Portland to meet with her. Emma and I lived in LA in the mid-2000s and have a lot of good memories together. To honor our friendship, I dug through my closet and picked out a few dresses that I bought back in 2006-2008 when we lived in Orange County together. This is a dress I wore 10 years ago, and one I haven't worn agin until this trip. All items pictured vintage and purchased at various stores around LA. 

This dress came from Squaresville in Los Feliz. The only other place I wore it was in Japan in 2006. I am so happy I had a chance to wear it again.

Dressed for Die Fledermaus

Haven't worn this dress in nine years. I bought it back in my late teens when I was obsessed with long-sleeve silk vintage dresses. Now long sleeved dresses are kind of note my thing, but I still love one. I'll probably try to wear it more often...

The Green Skirt Dilemma, Part 2

Okay, so this is the follow up to my first post about the Green Skirt Dilemma.

Basically, I had been determined to find a green skirt for a long time. I stumbled upon this awesome vintage one (which I had to take apart and re-design) only to realize that I had no idea what to wear with a green skirt. The color was so jarring it didn't seem to go with anything, so I decided to take an experimental route. Last time I paired it up with maroon and brown, and this time I tried a muted pink and back. Here are the results:
