You should wear Polyester! These polyester palms are kind of the bomb - am I right? A little bit Don Knotts circa 1960's (for those of you familiar with the Andy Griffith Show). Keep up with my outfit ideas and inspiration here. #YSW - You Should Wear will bring you all sorts of fun takes on my fave vintage finds, prints, patterns, colors and eccentric outfit choices.

This pink wall downtown (nope it's NOT the infamous Paul Smith wall on Melrose!) was a perfect spot to capture the boldness of these patterns. As I'm sure you've already picked up on I enjoy styling mixed patterns and prints...of many kinds. This look features pants by Zara, top by Without Walls, shoes by Converse and socks by J. Crew. Sometimes (always) you've just gotta mix things up.
Let us stop and reflect upon the rare season-less city I live in - Los Angeles. Though it means I don't get to enjoy Fall/Winter layers or amazing outerwear, getting ready for the day can be as easy as throwing on a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt. In this case I give you a "simple" pair of contrasting floral jeans and floral print shirt - total flower power domination. I am clearly a fan of the floral print whether it be an accessory or an entire outfit. It is no new trend nor is it out of style. In my opinion it is here to stay thanks to Designers like Dries Van Noten. But since we can't always afford designer prices I threw this look together for under $30, yep! How? You might ask...
This look features:
Shirt - Vintage find at Slow on Melrose Avenue, crazy cool detailing on this shirt - digitized needlepoint flowers.
Pants - Joyrich (gifted to me by my lovely roomie)
Shoes - Nike Airforce 1's
Shoelaces - discovered at Belmont Army shop in Chicago
Sunglasses - Top Shop (they are Women's but...shhhhhh)
It's the the beginning of Fall which for Angelenos means WE WEAR THE SAME EXACT CLOTHES WE WERE WEARING ALL SUMMER! Perhaps even less given the recent 100 degree weather : / There's nothing to report about seasonal specific dressing today - but I leave you with this: Black denim, active wear and a vintage jacket go a long way.
