Oakland Indie Fashion

racks of vintage dresses at the Armour sans Anguish studio

Early Saturday afternoon, my friend Bree and I went to an open house at Armour sans Anguish. There were racks and racks of beautiful clothes, both vintage stock and AsA's own pieces. I enjoyed looking at all the different fabrics and designs; textile craft is wonderful. Not to mention that everything was on sale!

Bree displaying a pastel AsA crop top for me. I can't help but picture myself wearing it over a swimsuit and cutoffs, hanging out in the sun by a river in Humboldt County. As I've mentioned before, the idea of an outfit can easily sow the seed for a daydream. This particular fantasy is not entirely out of reach--maybe I will cajole X into a mini road trip.

Back to Oakland: two guest artists were set up in the space as well.

That's all! I didn't take as many photos as I expected to, but for a good reason--I was distracted by actually being there. What can I say? Life gets the best of me sometimes.
