Mornings almost anywhere have things in common: the gradual waking up, coffee, lots of coffee, and if you’re early enough a moment of peace. Mornings in LA include all of that, but are a bit magical, at least in my opinion. No matter what time of the year, mornings in LA are usually a bit cool, there’s a bit of dew and fog, and if you’re lucky you can feel some of the ocean breeze. LA is a busy town, but early in the mornings there is a peace, ad calm that’s just addicting. It’s almost as if the entire city takes it time getting up, so if you’re up early you have the playground to yourself. The light is soft, you can walk and think. And Mornings in LA are the perfect time for amazing fashion.
This top is really a slip, made extra special with vintage patches. It’s from a dear friend’s line,
Velvet California, (this shirt is also a Velvet California fave). What I love about it: slips are perfect for the bedroom, for lounging, or for pairing with the bottoms of your choice (or alone, if it’s long enough) and rocking it in public–and the nod to the morning here made me happy. Any sort of car wash skirt is amazingly fun (even early in the am). The slits move, it’s like playing peek-a-boo with yourself. What I love about this one? The different colors that come through when you move. And how this couture skirt I got from Moda Operandi perfectly matched my slip. What I love about all levels of fashion is how you can combine them and make something new. And how the mornings are the perfect time to play with that!
Mornings in LA, or any where often get a bad rap. We want to sleep in, hate early start times, and think that all the fun comes at night. Loves, there’s an pureness and a new start each morning. Let’s embrace that. Let’s play with that. Let’s rock some amazing fashion.
I’d love to know: how do you Rock your mornings?
