weekend wrap-up

This weekend was incredible! I was able to spend so much time with one of my closest friends, Kevin of Chemistry of Cool! Thursday evening, we went to an Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros concert...it was so much fun! I've never seen a crowd so enthusiastic and genuinely fully of joy! Friday, I worked from Kamp Grizzly, then went on a hike and saw Scott Pilgrim(highly suggest it). Saturday, my sister and I moseyed about the city. It was a lovely, long day. Saturday night, I went to Kevin's house where he made me vegetarian dinner and cupcakes and i was extremely impressed - no food poisoning!! Sunday, I met up with some new friends from Seattle, and had lunch and frozen yogurt! Later, I met up with my good friend Jacque and we went to the Jenny and Johnny show. I also met a sweet reader, tabitha!
Amazing weekend, food, friends, shows, sister//sister time, and I was so sad I had to come home!!! Can't wait till next time PDX!xxoo chelsea

what i wore to:

Jenny and Johnny!I was able to see Jenny & Johnny at the Doug Fir over the weekend. Jenny is as cute as ever and yes, Johnathan Rice still melts my heart! Since I wasn't able to post an outfit on Monday, here is what I wore to the show!!I found this darling plaid dress at Fringe Vintage on Northwest Marshall street in Portland over the weekend. It was quite a bit longer when i got it, but i tend to cut my dresses shorter and this was no exception. The fabric has this bubble texture that can' t be captured on film but is so fun to wear! I paired it with green trimmed white knee-high socks that my sister let me borrow, and my favorite pair of vintage boots! My favorite cocktail ring plus a grandpa-styled leather belt made this outfit complete!!! It was fun and so comfortable for the show and allowed me to bop and sho-wap with the rest of the crowd!

If you are interested in visiting Portland and are looking for vintage shops, I suggest you check out Shop Vintage Portland, a blog all about Portland's vintage options!!
