on a sunny afternoon

lunch break
IMG_2831

It felt like summer yesterday afternoon when I went to the park, on my lonesome, for my lunch break. It was actually too hot to even wear this heavy cheetah coat. I'm sure you'll agree that a 50s cheetah coat is essential to a vintage coat collection. I found this one almost 10 years ago at the thrift store. I've found a couple since, which I've sold, because they've never been as nice as this one, or they didn't fit. The skirt I'm wearing features Greek pillars on a checkered print. It's one of my favorite skirts, another thrifted item that I found nearly a decade ago. I recently thrifted this brown ribbed top; it's from Forever 21. Generally, I don't care much for fast fashion, meaning clothing from F21, H&M, Urban Outfitters, etc., but this was thrifted & it's more of a complimentary piece. Underneath the brown ribbed top, I'm wearing a 50s sheer shirt.

While at the park, I chatted with a gal about her Cannon Digital SLR. I love talking to strangers. I definitely want a better camera, but I think I need to master my film camera (Pentax Sportmatic) first. I'll show ya'll some of my film pictures soon. I'm also taking a beginning photography class in January. I'll be taking a Saturday class that's nearly 8 hours long. I think I will enjoy it though. I haven't been in school for a while, but I'm hoping this will prepare me for the last university class I still have to take.

ok dudes, I hope you're well.

not sure was inspired this outfit, though I love the 90s vest (thrifted), everything else thrifted also. Though my bottoms look like a skirt, they're actually shorts.

Outfit 3: thrifted mocha tent dress
IMG_8886I love the free shape of this tent dress; it makes me like a tiny dancer. Though this dress is thrifted, it's not vintage. (no label inside). I'm wearing Nine West shoes, and aqua AA socks.

The simplicity of the dress vaguely reminds me of this dress:

we'll it's another beautiful day in the LBC. In a few hours, I'll be celebrating my brother's birthday & I'll also have my niece for the weekend. I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to take some pictures for Etsy. Has anyone noticed I'm the worst business promoter ever? haha! Bon weekend, friends!
