Mary Quant

I know it's been sooo long since my last post so shame on me!  I do have an excuse though and it is pretty passable.  Recently I've acquired a new job and school is starting to drive me crazy again.  Nonetheless, I can't stay away for too long and so I'm back.  Recently I discovered the 60's fashion genius Mary Quant, while looking through one of my textbooks.  I was actually pretty embarrassed for not having heard of her before but I'm still learning.  Turns out she was a very well-known designer in the 60's and many give her credit for the "mini skirt".  Remember this was considered a HUGE change from that "clean" 50's image.  Just thinking about the risk she had to take makes me want to yell out, "GO GIRL!"  Looking through photographs of her designs made me realize how incredibly talented she is!

Here are some of the pictures I fell in love with...

Short Attire

It's been terribly hot in golly-old Fresno for the past couple of months.  That is one thing I miss about Los Angeles, the forgiving weather.  Here in Central-Cali we definitely try to dress as cool as possible.  I had a job interview on the day I wore this and I didn't feel like suffocating in a suit.  So, I wore this!  That loyal pencil skirt always seems to come to my rescue (thank you skirt).  And as long as the weather is in the triple digits, I'm going to keep wearing the shortest things in my closet!

Top: Eva Franco, Skirt: F21, Purse: Thrifted, Shoes: Steve Madden

Risque Days

This was an outfit I wore while still in Los Angeles.  For those of you familiar with the area, I'm sure you can tell I was in Little Tokyo! I'm not going to lie, I felt really hardcore wearing these nylons and high-waist shorts. The morning of, I kept questioning whether this outfit was a bit too "risque".  I've found that outfits that take you out of your comfort zone are the best ones! Plus, in L.A anything goes and that's what I love about the city!

Peplum Blues

Today is my last day in the magical city of Los Angeles, which makes me deeply sad.  I've enjoyed every minute of my adventure.  It feels like I'm saying goodbye forever even though, I know my path will lead me back very soon. Lately, I've been so inspired and I know it's due to being here.  So until next time! Here's an outfit for the road.

Blue Paisley

Sometimes all a girl needs is a vintage blouse, paired with some high-waisted shorts, and a thrifted belt.

How to Wear Printed Pants

I am sure many of you have noticed that printed pants are all the rave right now.  They are the hottest trend on the runway and on the streets.  I have taken a closer look into the fun trend, even though I have been an all jeans girl for quite some time now.  Printed anything is a bit scary for some people (I know).  Don't be scared. In this case, printed pants allow for a variation of amazing outfits! For several years, I felt something was missing from my wardrobe.  I owned a lot of pretty tops but boring bottoms.  Lately, I have found myself shopping with an open mind.  My closet has been looking a lot more colorful!  If you are in that "boring bottom" situation don't be afraid to try something new!
