A high-waisted skirt paired with a crop top is an easy outfit that always make me feel pulled together. There’s just something so lady-like about skirts like this one and love how I feel like I’m playing dress up, but as an adult!
I went a little nautical here with this red bag and Hermes scarf that I’ve had for years. I actually got at a vintage store shortly after I graduated college and moved to LA. I felt like I found gold and bought it and have treasured it since.
Today I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite parts of my wedding with you, my aisle style! In case you missed it I previously posted about our flowers and invitations.
I started thinking about my wedding look pretty much the moment we got engaged. I already had an idea of a style of dress I wanted, thanks to a picture I saw of a backless dress on Pinterest. That image stuck with me and luckily I was able to track down the designer and visit her showroom in downtown LA!
What’s old is new again, friends! It appears that even though I just did a major closet purge some “vintage” pieces still made the cut.
Denim skirts are the new denim shorts so it’s lucky I held on one… I definitely felt like an 18-year-old wearing it. Speaking of teenagers, these converse shoes have been with me since I was a sophomore in high school. That’s nearly half my life!! These bad boys have been to three different countries and look better than ever. I also pulled out my favorite balenciaga I’ve been carrying since ’04, that thing has only gotten better with age. I topped off the look with a new piece, another Sol Angeles sweatshirt that’s so cozy I’ve been wearing it 24/7.
Sometimes it’s fun to wear one pattern and color scheme in three different pieces head to toe… even if they don’t “match.” I love that these high- waisted pants are vertical striped – it helps to lengthen my short legs. I played up the stripes and had fun mixing and matching with the two other pieces. Sometimes more is more. TGIF!

Although it technically is still winter, I’m definitely jumping ahead to spring trends. I paired this off the shoulder flare top with a pair of denim flares for a double dose of bohemian. This top is such a great piece, I can already see myself pairing it with lace shorts, cutoffs and even over a bathing suit. I’m definitely ready for it to be spring!

This dress knocks the color blocking trend out of the ballpark. And when you add accessories? It’s like a rainbow explosion so perfect and cheerful I couldn’t help but feel so summer ready and happy we found the perfect backdrop for these colorful photos.
When embracing a lot of color it’s important to balance it out like I did here with my neutral shoe. Also, I’ve mentioned before but I’m only 5’4″ (on a good day) so I will take any chance I get to elongate my legs and make myself look taller.
