Neighborhood Watch

Get the look:

This past weekend Andrew and I ventured into Silverlake so that I could do some research for one of my classes. And by research, I mean having brunch at Millie's and walking around the neighborhood. I know I've said this before...but sometimes being a Sociology major is just the best (minus all the paper writing and reading that comes after the research. that...is not quite as fun). I love exploring new parts of LA, and Andrew was a pretty big fan of Silverlake after we visited. While I'm not sure what my post-grad plans are, I think it's safe to say that Silverlake had been added to "the list" of potential future homes :)

For my outfit, I decided to break out this striped midi dress and kept things simple with my trusty denim jacket. Because midi dresses have a tendency to make me look shorter than normal, I wore some wedges. Funny story about these wedges: I bought them four years ago when I worked my first job at a shoe store in high school. They were in style at the time, but slowly slid out of style. Well guess what, this season I've been noticing a lot more platforms and these shoes fit right in! So, here's to hoarding shoes long enough for them to make their way back in style! And that, my friends, is how I save money.*

*Please note: never, ever take financial advice from me.
