They say when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when in Silverlake (the quickly gentrified, hipster-y neighborhood of northern LA often compared to Brooklyn), I say do as the Brooklynites do…
For an afternoon spent browsing the record/vintage/cheese shops of Silverlake that meant a nineties style button down maxi dress (one of the most surprisingly versatile pieces I’ve bought in a long time), layered under a plaid button down (the calling card of hipsters on either coast), and a utility vest (ditto on the versatility of this piece). This is one of those outfits that combines several pieces that aren’t typically my style (vests are few and far between in my closet and this is honestly the only maxi dress I own), but somehow manages to still work. Just don’t try and get me to wear ripped tights.
