For our Friday night date night
Jeff and I headed inland
to Old Town Orange.
I wanted to take out my new kimono
from Chateau Bel Age Boutique
in San Diego!
Their kimonos are my newest favorite finds!
These modern kimonos
even come with slash pockets
and
of course plenty of drama!
This week I opted to juxtapose the kimono with my favorite cowboy boots!
I paired these with dark wash jeans
and
my favorite vintage lace YSL blouse!
I made this blouse over 30 years ago
when my parents owned a fabric store.
I remember thinking at the time
how expensive the lace was …
but boy have I ever gotten my monies worth over the years!
It's a staple in my wardrobe always
because of it's extreme versatility!
My vintage straw always works perfectly
for a date night clutch.
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
Tamara, Look at you! Yes.. juxtapose applies to not only interior design but also what we wear. The boots work perfectly here and that lace is so pretty. Good for you for making that, and saving it for all these years! The clutch is darling and the straw is so fun with the overall look. I hope you enjoy your Sunday! xxleslie
