Crimson & Leather

Some of my favorite clothing pieces in my closet are these two items: A pair of black leather pants and a crimson red top. Oh, and some heels to top it off.


Decided to grab a bite to eat in Fullerton at  SOCO. The friendboy loves getting Country Fried Steak at Heroes. It was a little windy so initially I had a sweater on. And it was super sunny!




Oh! While walking around SOCO, we spotted this mosaic tile piece of a Fender guitar. Kind of matched the "rock and roll" theme with the leather and all. And, you could say I happened to go with the color scheme of the art piece?? Sure, why not.




SOCO is a cool little spot where all the dive bars are at. I've only been here a few times. Explored some of the hotspots like Heroes, Twisted Vine, and some.




We've never been during the day. Of course it's not as crowded because well, people go to places like this typically, at night. So there were wide open spaces -- Enough for me to stretch out! I slept funny the night before and my back was aching.




I don't know if you can tell, but the back of my leather pants have zippers. It's kind of neat because you can alter the amount of flare you get with zipping up or zipping down. These pants are a little long for me so without it, it would of completely crumpled up at the ankle. Instead, it flared and bell-covered my heels.



Lots of cute boutique shops there too. Check it out if you're ever in the area! Oh! And grab a drink for me!

As Sharp as a Tack

Older people are funny. They are just so cute with their quirk and wit! 

This morning I was helping a 95 year old patient of mine. He was telling me random things about the Marines, how much he loves Tabasco sauce and how he went to the factory where it was made in New Orleans, and how he thinks his wife stole his sunglasses (he's kidding)... which is why he came in today. He needed a replacement pair.

And then he asks me, "Where did you get your layered look from?"

I chose to wear a a layered drawstring dress in Dark Slate by BCBGeneration (now on sale from $108 to $69), belted with a wide, black,  stretchy belt. I also chose to wear black leggings underneath.




To top it off, I wore a short sleeved black pinstripe blazer that I had purchased from Urban Outfitters awhile back. Unbuttoned of course! And because I had a long week/weekend prior, I decided to wear my purple ballet flats and be cozy comfy!


 

How could I forget my eyewear?? Currently, I am wearing a black plastic vintage inspired cat eye styled frame  (since I have dark hair).

Dior 3179 in Black




I love how my 95 year old patient used the word "layering".

Happy Monday!
