Animal in the city

I've been sitting on this post for way too long. The piece I made is of course the printed zebra shirt dress. I got the print from my old work and from then it was already sitting around waiting for me to do something with it. So what I decided to do is dress shirt with a pleather back and rolled sleeves. I gave the hem a shirt tail shape because hems need details too! Plus it does well to cover up the rear. And here I am sitting by the pool as one of my favorite things to do. just not in a bathing suit. Maybe in a later post, huh?

Labor Day Trippin Outfit

This weekend my boyfriend and I went to hang out in Catalina Island. Our time there was amazing! Right from the boat ride on the way there. We ran into friends and a coworker, saw a pod of dolphins swimming with waves the boat made behind us, and star gazed over the dark ocean. Then arriving to a welcoming small town night life on a cool shore breeze. Discovering the very next morning on our run along the edge of earth that the water surrounding us is sooo clear you can see everything below! It's so amazing this wonderful place is just a boat ride away from the crowded city of Los Angeles. Why didn't we do this sooner? Well, here's my outfit for this post. The brown polka dots on navy ground is a design of mine from a company I worked at. It's a sheer number suitable for the high temperatures which we were spoiled with on this weekend. I paired the top with some denim shorts and sheer laced thigh highs under a pair of black multi-buckled cut out booties. Not your usual resort or beach attire but I love it nonetheless.
