I call this, “Barney called, he said to stop stealing his branded shade of self-tanner“.

From the velvet shoes, to the floral skirt, to the gingham patterned button-up, purple threw up all over me. Yeah, I kinda liked it. This was motivated by me wishing that summer would just come already. I mean, honestly. It’s June for Barney’s sake. What’s the deal? Why must the endless rain pour down upon us? I stopped rain-dancing ions ago (ohhh snap, ions or eons? Who knows. I propose it’s the latter?).

Lately, I’ve been feeling a bit retro whether that includes pin-curled bangs, knotted button-ups with the collared popped (a’ la below), or mini dresses. I am really thankful I grew up in this era where we can pull from the past and create looks that fit the lifestyle of NOW and somehow just make it work- passing off several decades in one layered-lucious look.

Oh yeah, and… I got major cat calls from the numerous construction workers and its’ posse’ in the Mission. It made my life.

I wish you all could of seen the awesome, abandoned police station we shot in front of. It was eerie and kind of sexy. Then a bum decided to plop his scummy ass right next to the gate and take a gander. I barfed…then posed.

    Ah Christina I LOVE this!!!! The skirt is AMAZING!! I am NOT a very good thrift shopper and never seem to find fabulous items like you. I better make you take me next time you are in town :) Love this look the purple on purple on purple works and the green beaded necklace makes it feel modern and sort of bohemian. You look fabulous and Lydia is taking some GORGEOUS shots of you. :)
