Vintage wrap via We Move Vintage at LA Flea Market. Urban Outfitters top. H&M shorts. Vintage Cole Haan shoes

Picked up this oversized cocoon-like wrap at the LA Flea Market this past weekend from We Move Vintage.  It instantly caught my eye with its 80s flair and built-in shoulder pads.  I also got the gold HOPE double connector ring at the LA Flea Market.  Of course, due to the extreme heat, I thought the ring fit me when I initially tried it on but now it doesn’t.  So I stacked my F21 bird connector ring on top of it and voilà, I can now wear it.

Overall, the first LA Flea Market at Dodger Stadium was so-so.  While the presence of multiple food trucks was a highlight (hello rajas fries), food doesn’t trump vendor quality.  And so, will I be going to the LA Flea Market next month?  Probably not.  But I may go back in a few months to see if the number of vintage vendors have expanded.  For now, I’ll stick with the Rose Bowl Flea Market and the occasional trek to Long Beach to check out the Antique Market (highly recommended).

    I love your wrap, I’ve always had a thing for things that look like they might have been worn by one of the Golden Girls (talk about unlikely style influences)! And the color is just so beautifully vibrant.

    I’ve been dying to go to the Rose Bowl Flea for years now. Flea markets in general can be kind of hit or miss, but honestly, a few good food trucks is all I need.

    ps. that snake bracelet is dope!

  9. What great vintage/flea market finds. I usually consider myself a good flea marketer, but I don’t think I’d make it in the heat! I have a couple of rings that I can only wear if I stack something tighter on over them. Still worth the buy!

    I love the batwing 80s style of your wrap! And the color is gorgeous as well. Fab rings too… especially the Hope ring. Let me know if you have any questions about Hong Kong. I haven’t posted all the stores I visited yet because I’m currently a little backlogged, but I know you’ll love it there! A great place to find great cheap fashion :)
