pop up shop!

Over the weekend I was able to check out a really unique and fun pop up shop that was put together by a bunch of people in Seattle. My friend Paulina put me on and I was able to shop her closet as well as a bunch of other extremely well dressed individuals.

I went with J. mean and the boyfriend. We all left very happen, slightly me more than them because I went in! I mean most of the people selling their stuff are people who's style I've admire from a far, so yes, I was geeky out slightly.

The talented photographer and homie Avi caught all the best action over on his blog. But these are just a few snaps I was able to get.

I hope they are able to do it again or something like it! Got some great items that I know I'll be posting soon. Here's a little example from UrbanExchange's instagram:

for what it's worth, make it strange

With fashion you shouldn't go for the obvious choice. It's easy with style to have a routine or uniform; you got to step out of your comfort zone. For example; I don't wear dresses that often. As a reader of this blog you might think otherwise because I post so many posts with me in dresses. But that's why. It's a rare thing.

 

I've had this great dress that I found when I was in Chicago. I've owned it for years now and have only wore it twice. It's summer time so I am leaning towards more dresses. I of course have to take my own spin on it. So I did. Converse and a flannel. New uniform meets old uniform for something strangely different and fashionable.

I haven't been able to go thrifting or shop as much as I've wanted to because of summer laziness and work. But here are some of my latest pick ups:

      

The first four are all from Goodwill and the last shirt is from Forever 21. The first white basic I already styled when I had my ladies night with my friends. I am in love with the floral silk button up. It's Calvin Klein so it's most def a great come up at only $7.00. The black tank was $4.00 and the white see-threw tee was $5.00

The stripped referee looking shirt was on sale at Forever 21 for $12.00. It's more of a fall thing but I like it and can't wait to wear it.
