Welcome to The Dress Up Mom.
[Music]
Hi friends, it’s time for another one of my What I Wore videos, where I show you the
outfits that I pick out for a week.
I really hope you like them.
Today, I have on one of my favorite vintage pieces, which is this Asian, I think it’s
from Japan, silk, vintage coat.
Now, I got it at ReLove in San Francisco, one of my absolute favorite places for resale.
I did a whole video, which you can see, I’m linking it up here, on how we transformed
this.
It was more of like a robe, and I took it to my alterations guru, Donna, and we turned
it into more of this coat/dress.
I can also button it up this way and wear it as a dress.
But, tonight I’m wearing it a little bit more casual because we’re going out for
a fun night.
So, I have it paired with just this little Kit and Ace top, a little shell.
These are my Levi’s, my 501 Levi’s that I actually bleached, cut and frayed myself.
And then finally, these are Moroccan slippers that are from Artemis Designs, the flying
carpet shoe people who, as you know, I adore.
Now, this purse that I’m taking, this little bag, is one that I’ve had for the longest
time.
And I got it from a street vendor and it’s so clever, I think.
It is made out of the album cover, an album cover on one side and then the actual vinyl
album on the other side.
And, of course, this is Audrey, one of my style icons and My Fair Lady, one of my great
movies.
So, heading out, a little fun tonight.
Today, we are going to see the Drowsy Chaperone, a musical, and I thought I would have a little
bit of fun with my outfit.
I’m wearing this green swingy coat that is vintage that I picked up in San Diego at
one of my favorite places, Bad Madge & Company.
I was channeling a little bit of Audrey I think in this, because I have very simple
pieces underneath it.
Just a little black shell, a long-sleeved shell from St. John Knits.
These are my incredible vintage Channel pants, that I got at ReLove in San Francisco, love
these.
And then my little Rothys they are sustainable shoes.
And even though the green is a little bit of a different shade, I think they go together
pretty well with the black in there tying it all together.
So, looking forward to seeing this.
We are heading out tonight and I’ve got on my Jennifer Grace Kimono, once again.
I love this.
It was the original one I purchased.
The vibrant colors.
I’m wearing it today like a coat.
I love it, it’s so versatile.
All I did is I tied these knots in the bottom of it to give it a little bit of shape and
structure and also to make it not so long and to make it a little bit more casual.
I have it paired with this Kit and Ace top.
This is white jade, I think it’s called, and it’s this beautiful beaded necklace
that was gifted to me by my mother.
I’ve got a Tano belt on, wonderful leather company.
Vintage 501 Levi’s that I cut, bleached, frayed myself.
My Bryr clogs that I absolutely adore, handmade in San Francisco.
And also, this handmade leather clutch from a local artisan here in San Diego, Erin Bynam.
I’m going to head out and have a great night.
It’s Sunday and it’s been such a relaxing, stress-free day.
I’ve been unwinding from a really busy week.
And tonight we are going out to have a nice dinner with the family.
So, I am wearing this top that I picked up at a place in San Diego called Flashbacks.
I’ve always loved it, it was a weird length when I bought it, it was too short to be a
dress really, and a little bit too long to be a top.
So, I just took it to Donna and had her cut it off right here and I’ve gotten so much
wear out of it.
It’s really comfy and I love the colors.
I have it with this necklace that was from my mom’s collection.
It’s beaded, and I think sort of it goes along with the tribal look of the top.
These are Mother jeans which I have had for just the longest time.
I paid a lot for them, but they certainly have worn well, and they always stay somewhat
up to date.
I don’t know why, they always look modern to me.
And then these are my Sven clogs, which I love.
They’re gold, halter-top, Sven clogs that I think just sort of add that pop of color,
give it a little bit of the Boho feel and I’m going to enjoy a fun dinner.
My hair is super dirty, but I’m getting it cut tomorrow, so I did not want to wash
it and we’re going out tonight.
So, I put this had on.
This hat my husband bought for me when we were on vacation a little while back.
It’s not vintage, but I like it because it looks vintage.
And, I think it’s covering up this hair quite nicely.
So, I’m just wearing it with a little sweater that I’ve had forever.
These are my Levi’s that I got in Ireland at Le Harlequin and I cut and frayed them
myself.
And then this belt here, I really love.
It’s also from Artemis Design, one of my favorite brands.
They’re they ones that do those flying carpet shoes and they make these belts too out of
Turkish carpets.
So, this was an old, vintage Turkish carpet that they repurposed.
Then these are my little Kurt Geiger little kitten pumps.
Look at this cute little red tiny heel.
They’re comfortable though.
I got these on eBay many years ago.
Finally, this Sword & Plow little cross body bag, I think ties it all together with sort
of the color in the hat and a little bit of the belt.
And I also love this brand.
This is all made from repurposed materials from the military.
So, that’s what I’m going to be doing tonight.
That is it for this week my friends.
Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it.
I would love to know your comments below on which was your favorite outfit, or if you
maybe thought something didn’t work, I would like to know that too.
Until next time, have fun and dress it up a little.
