An afternoon with Closet Fashionista

Last Friday I got a chance to meet up with Meg from Closet Fashionista; I took her on my usual thrift tour around town and we both scored some fun pieces (Turquoise J.Crew shorts and white Ralph Lauren Sweater for me, elephant print dress and floral print blouse for Meg).

We went to lunch and then to my beach for outfit photos! It is so less weird taking photos at the beach when you've got a friend. The people staring and commenting is much less uncomfortable when you aren't alone, haha.

It was such a perfect afternoon, with great weather, and great company.

You should go checkout Meg's post, shes got some different photos up too!

  4. You guys are both so adorable! Hope ya'll had funnn~ :D

    I love her purse and its gold details. Also, I think my mom has the same necklace that she does! And your heels are super cute and work so well with your semi-sheer blouse tied like that.

    Glad your photo taking was less awkward. Guess that's why I enslave--err, nicely ask my mom to take my pictures!

  26. Blogger meetup! You guys look great-- so colorful and summery.

    Yeah, photos with a friend are the best. You can get silly without feeling like a complete idiot.

  27. I think the thrift stores where you live are WAY better than the ones here in Portland. I never find things like that at my stores!

    I love your dress so much, and the button-up shirt tied at the waist was the perfect summery touch.
