Bringing Down the Temperature

Photobucket
The weather is finally starting to cool down after weeks of 100+ degree temps, thank goodness! I'm not sure if its because we don't see them often in LA but I seriously crave/love gloomy days. After a while my eyes need a break from the sunshine and my wardrobe needs to include coats, gloves and massive amounts of layering.

Last night I peeled myself off the couch where I was pleasantly consuming unneccasary amounts of the Rachel Zoe Project and went to a girlfriends bday. I didnt want to change out of the comfy sweatshirt so I wore this little evening bag, which is my recently rekindled favorite item, to avoid looking like a complete bum.

Leggings: American Apparel (I higly recommend these as an alternative to the cotton leggings, they never bunch up at the knee and always fit like a glove)
Sweatshirt: American Apparel
T-shirt: American Apparel
Bag: Hand-me-down from my mom
Boots: Calvin Klein

I totally wasted entire hours of my week watching that show..it's "BANANAS" (R. Zoe-speak). My boyfriend already loathes her.

Cute! I really want to see if I can pull off the non-bummy looking sweatshirt.

And I am also extremely happy that the weather finally cooled off. That heat was ridiculous.

Could you hand me down that bag?! I could do with something like that this season. Honestly, it's not easy finding good quality vintage bags where I live. :(

Hey ladies! OK for those of you who own the leggings I was wondering if they ran small, because I really want them in Fluorescent Pink but they only run in Large or XSmall and if i bought them i would do so in the Large but I don't want them to be baggy :( Any tips?
