Live in color

aa button up shirt, skirt, vintage scarf, dance shoes

Hate to bore you with another work outfit, but this is most definitely one of my favorite ones to wear.

Wearing a scarf as a belt is a nice and simple way to make any simple outfit look colorful, polished and complete.

It's also fun to loosely tie the scarf around your neck with blouses. I tried with this outfit but it looked a little girl-scout-y. Trying to steer clear of anything too costumey. Sock might have been nice with this.

Also, hope you noticed that I'm not wearing a stitch of black- it IS possible! It's summer, so now is the time to wear colors

:)

Now and then

thrifted floral polyester button up; aa jacket, shorts; keds

Wore this to move some boxes into my new place. Just moved to Noe Valley in San Francisco :)

This outfit was kind of inspired by the costumes in Now and Then (1995)

Romp around

thrifted romper, loafers, satchel; aa lace bra

Finally, a trip to the mother ship!

During my trip to LA, a buddy and I visited the American Apparel Factory Headquarters.

I was so excited to walk around the production floors. Got to see all the smiling workers, laughing and chatting away.

It was interesting to see the art of clothes-making. Cutting, sewing and creating high-quality clothing is hard work. It made me appreciate the company I work for. But I won't continue to bore you.

I found this romper at the Buffalo Exchange on 2nd Street in Long Beach for $12. Hollllerrrr!

On the real though, I just want lots of rompers. This one is made out of polyester and is very slinky and free-falling.

These three from F21 are cuuuuute:

Golden puppies

thrifted blouse, loafers, satchel; aa zipper shorts; h&m bow clip

Bixby Park, Long Beach, California

Sat in the park and watched the locals play soccer. Did some boy watching. The usual.

My friends & I are boycrazy :)

Dudes-- if you didn't already know: dogs are chick magnets.

Just get a pup and you will get a date. Did you really not already know that? Get on it!

Hey all,

Just got home from my trip to visit a friend in Long Beach.

Can't wait to share my adventures with you.

Spotted Liv Tyler in Hollywood, took a tour of the American Apparel factory and got a lot of beach time in.

Lots of outfit posts soon (I didn't have to wear AA head to toe for five days! Are you excited!?!?!!!)

But for a sneek peek, check out the lovely ladies I met at a trip to the Getty: WeLuvLosAngeles
