let's go to the hop

Hello, my dear(s)!  How is the week kicking off?  Mine has been pretty good thus far and tonight should be especially fun since it is the debut of "the Brit's" new 50s rock n' roll side project. The tunes are inspired by early Elvis and others from that first era of rock n' roll which I love.  I am so excited for him, although, figuring out what to wear is causing a small amount of drama...which probably I secretly like. Figuring out what to wear can be a bit like a puzzle that comes together after a few pieces are put in the right place.  I'm not there yet though so I'll report back when an outfit actually starts to come together! Did I mention I have 45 minutes for it to come together between work and dinner? Ah, my life... seems I never have much time to plan things out!

Meanwhile, I wore this little getup on Sunday and felt slightly dresses-up considering I wasn't doing anything in particular. Sidenote: Sorry, I'm wearing black again! but the vintage bag and the pink bows on my tights helped to mix it up a little, non?!

I can't believe this bag hasn't made it on to my blog yet! I got it in Joshua Tree when I was there for my birthday months ago.  It was a great summer bag and, I wager, it will be a fine autumn bag since in LA that apparently means an extended but slightly cooler summer. (I long to wear knits, people!)
