It's a pretty casual place, people love their northface jackets and ugg boots here for sure. I wish there was a bigger vintage scene in Denver, though I hope to one day move to London UK where there is a huge vintage crowd!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-84500035149043879672016-02-03T19:28:02.588-07:002016-02-03T19:28:02.588-07:00You did such a great job pulling this one together...You did such a great job pulling this one together!

I love that you picked a plaid for your suit (and a bold, blue one at that), and it really was a happy accident that the plaids matched up. <br />On a side note, I love to see Coloradans with great vintage style. I grew up in Ft. Morgan, and I don't remember anyone dressing particularly well. ;)<br />Jessica, <a href="http://zellamaybe.com" rel="nofollow">Zella Maybe</a>Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-66182827699343256992016-02-02T23:17:29.316-07:002016-02-02T23:17:29.316-07:00Thank you so much Nora!
