Red Headed Stranger





Whatcha Wearing?
Kick-ass Alaska Eagle t-shirt and flannel from Goodwill / Jeans from H&M 
Nine West leather jacket from Beacon's Closet / Clarks boots from Zappos

This was my weekend coffee shop breakfasting/thrift store hunting/errand running/Super Bowl watching outfit. A low-key outfit for a low-key weekend. It's actually cold enough to pile on a few layers too. For a while there we had temperatures that stayed pretty steadily in the mid-70s to mid-80s I'm not complaining, I know that almost everyone else has been in a snowy deep freeze!

So here's my new hair cut and color care of the talented folks at the Vidal Sassoon Academy. They always do such an awesome job! It might have been a really early morning and a really long day at the Long Beach International Salon and Spa Expo, but I still had fun hanging out behind the scenes and having my cut done in the Sassoon booth. The deeper, less coppery red colors they used are a nice change from my usual orange color too. I haven't had such vibrantly red-red hair in a while and the deeper tones woven into the fringe give it a nice depth. Maybe I'll keep it this color for a while...

Oh, Hi! I'm Still Here...








Whatcha Wearing?
Monki top from Buffalo Exchange / Vintage cardigan from Crossroads Trading
Shorts from H&M / Scarf from American Way Thrift / Bag from Council Thrift
Tights from We Love Colors / Sunglasses from Target / Army boots from Goodwill

I just realized that it's been over two months since I last posted here. Time flies during the holidays and when you're traveling! Since my last post, I've made two trips to Las Vegas and one to Cincinnati. Seems kind of crazy for such a short amount of time.

I wore this last Saturday for free museum day here in Los Angeles. Matt and I went downtown to check out MOCA and have lunch. After living in NYC, it never ceases to amaze me how quiet DTLA is. Where are all the honking cars? Where are all the pedestrians? Regardless, we had a great time! On Sunday I did a hair modeling job for Vidal Sassoon at the Long Beach Salon and Spa Expo, so I'm going to look a bit different in my next post. It was a long day, but lots of fun and I really like how my new cut and color turned out! I'll make a point of taking photos this weekend and not wait another two months this time...

How I'd Wear It: Feather Print Pencil Dress

Whatcha Wearing?
Shoes from Payless / Belt from who knows where

This is such a cute dress, but I have to admit that I probably couldn't actually wear it. It's so tight on my hips that I don't think I could sit down! Good thing it's in the shop where it can find a perfect home with someone a bit narrower than I. It has such a whimsical print with the little sketched feathers. I left the accessories to a minimum here, but I feel like this dress could work equally well for day or night just depending on how you style it.

How I'd Wear It: Black & White Floral 90s Dress

Whatcha Wearing?
Leather vest from Goodwill / Tights from We Love Colors
Bracelet from Buffalo Exchange / Necklace from a garage sale / Soda boots from Shoe Carnival

I bought this vest at Goodwill when I was in Cincinnati last Christmas and then completely forgot about it! I'll have to find a way to work it into some of my actual outfits this winter. Instead of mixing eras, I decided to just go balls out 90s with this outfit. 90s dress, combat boots, and a silver choker. Did anyone else have some really awesome chokers in the 90s? I remember two that I had very specifically. One was a thick black fabric cord with a silver peace sign attached and the other was a flat velvet ribbon with a gold cross attached. Anyway, this dress is super cute and great for layering. The black & white color palette makes is super versatile too!

Peach Floral Mini Dress
I just love that rainbow striped skirt up at the top. It's too small for me otherwise it never would have made it to the shop! That peach floral dress is another favorite of mine. It's obviously a spring/summer dress, but don't you think it would be equally (or more) interesting paired with tights, boots, and a chunky cardigan for fall/winter? I love wearing floral dresses that way during colder months. A little bit unexpected and the light colors really pop up against dark cold weather accessories.
