Leather Rose

Last month I attended a few LA Fashion Week events and for one of them I decided to wear a faux leather skirt which I bought a while back, since I was feeling a bit edgy and fierce. I paired it with a top my mom bought me years ago for a wedding we attended. I want to say I was about 14 years old.

I love mixing old and new pieces. When I say old pieces I really mean old, stuff my mom bought me when I was a teenager like this blouse. I still remember finding surprises on my bed like garment bags when I got home from school. Then of course I would play dress up and model for her and she would show me how to make multiple outfits. Till this day she still amazes me even though she is no longer with us. Her words of wisdom, gifted styling ideas, fashion views and everything else. She really knew about trends and pieces to own and what to splurge on. Best places to find great bargains and quality and what worked for my body shape. She is my inspiration and fashion icon I look up to.
