California Select vintage skirt. American Apparel top. Aldo boots. Topshop headband

This outfit is as low maintenance as it gets.  Headband to cure a bad hair day. Check.  Long flowy skirt to move freely in.  Check.  Flat boots that are so comfy I’ve practically lived in over the past week.  Favorite soft cropped tee.  Check, check.

And because I’m going to start injecting more of myself (personally speaking) into this blog, here’s a vintage photo of my twin sister Melanie and me donning our cropped tops at Disney World.  Apparently, my love for cropped tops started early on.

Can you tell us apart?  Am I in the red or blue?

    This is like a rock star on her day off. So LA, so comfy, so stylish… amazing what a few key pieces can do :)

    Anyway, I’m thinking of doing a little get-together maybe next week with Alicia from Inny Vinny. Are you interested? Will email you and Mel.

    Oh, also, I’m so not going to guess on that picture because I’ll get it wrong… you guys looked so much more alike when you were younger! OK, maybe I will guess. You are in… RED! Amirite??

    XXo,

    I am going to break ranks and suggest you are the one in blue. I pride myself in telling twins apart so let me know if I guessed right :)

    Always great to hear from you. Thanks for the comment about my interview with Maya. I try to surround myself with amazing people, of which you are one, and I am very thankful for that!

    Love the outfit!

    I just pulled up Melanie’s blog to see if that would help…it didn’t. But I’m going to guess you’re in blue. SUCH a cute pic.

    I like your relaxed, hippie inspired look. It seems very californian to me (over on the other coast).

    xoxo, Ashley

    I love this outfit. Long skirts that aren’t tiered are so hard to come by these days! The grey + cream combination is perfection.

    I’m going to say you’re in the red?!

    You asked how work was going, and it’s going all right. I know I don’t want to stay there forever, but for now, I can deal with it!

    I’ve been on the hunt for a long skirt all summer. I just can’t find one that is long and floaty and not too heavy! And that picture with Goofy has to be just about the cutest thing ever – gotta love the fashion we rocked as children!
