80's A Go Go

Photos Cred: Style.Com

I am obsessed with these looks. Though some of them are easily recreate able, just by popping in your local thrift store. I know I have a few of these looks in the archive of my wardrobe somewhere. The last look, this cute red ensemble is a must have and I am definitely putting down on my wish list. As I was going through the runway shows I was enamored by such creativity that Marc Jacobs has. I need all of it. Check out the LV as well. This guy is just so talented. I sat here and just stared at the pictures envisioning myself in every single piece. Wishes can come true.

Highly Waisted

I finally got to wear my high waisted Grey Ants. I am a curvy girl so, sometimes I feel a little Boom Boom but, who cares. I went to Loehmans after visiting a few of the boutiques around town. Even though everybody is 75% off, I still feel that 75 of 400 is still 100. I'm a reccessionista and I am looking for the real true bargains. I got 5 great items at Loehmans for 100 bucks. 2 Whitley Kros tops, Marc by Marc Jacobs skirt, Ali Ro blouse (shown above), and some amazing wide legged pants by Rory Beca.

This is the back side. I just love exposed zippers. It's a crop bloused and went perfect with the Grey ant Jeans.

Today's Diggs

Jeans, Paper Denim: Blouse, Velvet: Jacket, Vintage: Boots Dumond

This was today's work outfit. I thought it was best to start wearing more of the things that I have and really incorporate a lot of the old with the new, such as the vintage velvet jacket. Sometimes at night I think of different things that I have and how I would wear them and say to myself, " I don't need another thing but what happens is I don't really listen to self. This is the L.A. uniform for winter, boots and skinnies.

Style For Today

Dress: Sue Stemp, Jeans: Joe's Jeans, Boots: Steve Madden

This is really a dress but, not to appropriate for work due to the length. The one thing about my body type is that it's very curvy and not to much on top. Finding things that fit proportionately can be difficult when you need the upper to be small and the bottom to be medium. Hence, the tank top or you will be seeing a lot more of me. To do list for that, get it altered. Most things have to be altered to look right and that is just the way it is. Especially when you find things that are thrifted. I am able to see the beauty of something frumpy and turn it into something amazing that looks like I bought it at Barney's. Those are the pieces that are exciting because when someone likes it, there is no other one out there. It truly becomes one of a kind.

Happy New Year

This was actually last year, because this year meant staying at home and just chillin. I had to get ready for my amazing hiking trip that I took on New Years day and needed the beauty rest. It took my friend and I 5 hours to walk to the beach. Of course we had to take the alt route and discover something new. It was exhausting but well worth it. I hope you have an awesome 2009.
