Snapshot of Detroit - Part 1: Patterned Skinnies

I've been having a blast during my visit here in my hometown, Detroit. Yet, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the sad state of the inner city neighborhoods. I decided to take photos in a few areas that may seem unusual. 

What I Wore:

Earrings & top: Forever 21

Necklace: Nordstrom

Pants: Not Your Daughter's Jeans

Sandals: Chinese Laundry

These shots are not from a war torn country, not from a 3rd world country, this is a street in my old neighborhood: 

Detroit, MI USA

What I Wore: Casual Friday

I'm writing this post from my home state: Michigan! I'm a native of Detroit, and although I love the natural beauty that is California - it feels too good to be home for a visit!

Not only because of the overflow of love, visits, and good times with family/friends; but because of the feeling that I am truly grounded here. I am connected to this place. I guess that is indeed the nostalgia of being...home.

Dress: Cynthia Rowley

Jewelry & Sandals: Jessica Simpson

What I Wore: I Miss Fall

Here in Southern California, temps are generally mild year round. Being a gal from Detroit, I appreciate the seasons, especially fall. Although I am not in fall-like temps, I felt inspired to pull out some of my fall fashion.

Pussy-bow blouse: Ralph Lauren
