From Work to Play

Wearing a repurposed vintage item, I decided this time to dress the floral romper with a more sophisticated approach...hopefully.  With my linen pointy toe wedges and my all-season tweed blazer,  my romper, while always worn for play, was this time ready for a casual work day.



We spent yesterday evening on the roof sighing over the view.  It never gets old.  And on days when I'm tired and spent, the downtown L.A. skyline is an instant peace bringer.  
Thought I would share some of the view with you... again :)


By itself, this once frumpy midi dress, turned elegant romper is perfect for brunch, casual dates, personal days and even a work meeting here and there.

 wedges: Castaner / earrings: Frencesca's Closet / belt: Zara Man / all other other items were thrifted 


This romper was actually very easy to make from the dress it was.  (You can get a better view here).   As L.A. slides deeper into Summer weather, I plan to find some more vintage dresses to remake as a my daily easy breezy staple!  More on that later :)

A Date with The Magistrate

After years of dutifully paying each parking ticket I receive each month (oy), a friend told me I probably should stop driving paying full price for each ticket.  Apparently, I can get them lowered if I contest in court?!!  Woah.  So instead of following my normal routine of logging into my account and paying for this particularly high ticket, I set up an appointment with a magistrate.

And of course, I came to the appointment prepared: my camera, my guy and a sophisticated ensemble.


This BCBGMAXAZRIA blazer originally fell at my ankles!  I shortened it quite a bit.  
I also shortened the arms to 3/4 length.  Tailoring is everything.






This sweater dress is a staple this Winter.  You can see it here and here.  

The magistrate ended up cutting my ticket in half!  No, not literally, can you imagine?  That would've been fantastic.  No, my ticket was 50% off though.  Black Friday prices up in the courtroom!  So my lil date was worth it - almost worth parking an hour in that 3-minute load/unload zone....
