ashes to ashes

 You may recall a few weeks ago I said that I was going (to try hard) to post a few more "personal style" related things here and there so I figured I would do another reckless daughter wardrobe post today, thus keeping my promise.

You may not be aware that Southern California is hellishly hot at the moment (and literally on fire in many parts) and with the impending apocalypse goes the practicality of layering of any kind.  I've been doing my best to stay cool, drink my iced lattes and look on from the shade as bits of ash and debris fall atop my freshly washed car. Thanks to this lovely vintage discovery it's not all that hard to do it semi-stylishly...

The other thing about these fires is the weird light (and I am sure terrible air quality) that goes with it. I've been trying to take pictures outside for a few days (these ones are from the weekend) and the lighting has been a complete pain in the neck. I even ended up inside for a few of them. My apologies if these are a little hard to see in detail.

I would like to add, I found these shoes months before they landed in Urban Outfitters, thank you very much! I hate when that happens!

and speaking of ash...
