I usually wear this dress on it’s own (last seen here for a Summer date night) but I covered it up a bit by layering it with this sleeveless trench (last seen here) and added a pair of sturdy wedges to ground the whole look. There’s just something about a trench coat, in any form, that makes anything you wear feel more polished. Even in the trenches of a hectic work week.
Market Ready.
Without the feeling that I should be somewhere soaking up the sunshine, I was free to stroll Melrose Flea Market and then head east to the neighborhood of Silverlake for lunch and a little research/shopping for my upcoming jewelry line (hurrah!). Since I’ve spent the past couple of weekends in pretty laid back beach/pool ready attire, it was nice to return to a summer in the city type look. This striped dress is a classic that I can already see wearing a million ways – so I can’t promise this version (paired with my favorite vintage navajo beaded belt and these skip around little shoes) will be the last you’ll see of it on the blog. Plus it matches with my flea market/grocery store/catch all canvas tote bag – convenient, no?
Seeing Clearly.
Weekend Flashback.
Smooth Transitions.
It’s been well documented that I love a good printed dress. And when it gets to this point in Summer (when you sadly know that Fall isn’t all that far off) I like to reach for ones that are still hot weather appropriate but will easily make the turn once chillier temps come my way. Black and white is by far the best way to do that – and even better for pairing with these boots that would make everything instantly cooler. Happy Friday!
