Primary Colors

My trips to LA are bittersweet, because I really love the city yet I know I’ll never relocate there. My daughter lives here in Oregon, so I call it my permanent home and as they say… “Home is where the Heart Is”.

But if Portland has my heart, then LA has my lust. I have the biggest crush on Sunshine and beaches and nearly-nothing fashion trends. Those things are so rare here in the NW… During my trips to LA for work and otherwise, I pack light. I try and keep it down to 3 pair of shoes and basics that can be paired with each other into multiple outfits. No coats, means more room for accessories!

I wore this outfit in West Hollywood to stay cool in the gorgeous sunshine recently. I’m wearing a red skort from Top Shop with a blue mock neck tank for a bit of a patriotic look. I added the black bag to bring balance with my black Zara heels. Gold accessories break up the primary blocking a bit, but it’s a classic outfit that feels neat, feminine and fun without too much fuss!
