Parking Lot
















What does one do on a free Friday? Naturally, a blog post. While in the company of my gorgeous friend Ava (and her gorgeous outfit), we decided that, as two clothing-obsessed individuals, it was obligatory to complete a blog post together. I've been thinking about new places for backdrops, and this breathtaking wall of 'graffiti' has always caught my attention. It occurred to me that this mural might be the perfect blogging background. In complete honesty, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Graffiti speaks in ways that are powerful, sometimes for good, sometimes for worse. Either way, it is a very expressive form of opinion that I find very interesting. Even though this is not technically graffiti (I would assume that permission was granted, since it hasn't been taken off), one can think of it like it is. It is certainly expressive, artistic, and (most importantly) painted on a wall. Okay. Enough rambling. Lets keep going.
It was freezing outside today (trust me, we RAN to a cafe after shooting this!), so sporting a sweater was obviously mandatory. I am in loooove with Ava's scarf - okay, lets face it, I'm basically in love with her entire wardrobe (the girl wears snakeskin pants!!!!) - and her military jacket also. I wore a loose (but cozy and warm) grey 3/4 length sleeve sweater, and the love of my life, my boyfriend jeans from the UK. See what I did there? Haha. I was feeling layer-y today - but not in the typical fall manner (sweater on sweater on scarf, etc.), instead in the beads kind of way. I don't know why, but I decided that beads, and lots of them, were a requirement for the day. I've been neglecting this kind of jewelry, but I think that they add such a cool, completely different vibe to an outfit! To finish off the outfit, I wore my black booties (typical), and my mothers pouch from India, complementing the beads.
