Weekend Wear: To the SF Vintage Expo

Leopard poncho/sweater - H&M
Jeans - Duke and Duchess
Necklace - Forever21
Shoes - Miu Miu

I woke up bright and early this morning to take a look around the SF Vintage Expo.  There were endless vintage shop-booths up and down the aisles of the concourse exhibition center.  A plethora of furs, costume jewelry and of course, racks and racks of clothes! 

It's always fun to finger through items from the past: some so intricate they belonged in a museum and some that probably had seen better days.  But all come with a previous life and beg for another chance (unfortunately the musty smell usually gives it away...).  I came home with a $15 i.Magnin blouse and a profound appreciation for a select few vintage shop owners who had spent a lot of effort perfectly curating their collection... Their booths were far and away the most interesting to see. 

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

*SF Bay Area ladies, the expo continues tomorrow as well, entry fee is $10.
