Dapper Day at the NHM

Sadly we missed the Dapper Day event at LACMA last Fall.  But were were excited when we found out that they would be doing a Natural History Museum outing.  As longtime members of the NHMLA, we were fully on board.  It was a hectic weekend... play performances, a Bat Mitzvah, and a whole lot more.  We did our best to rally and put on our Sunday's finest.

Here's the deal... we love black.  Please don't judge us because this is just who we are.  Ella got a spring in her step when she tried on this fabulous dress at Unique Vintage.  And I never knew how much I liked petticoats and vintage-inspired attire until I slipped into this magical dress.  The plaid purse, well, it was a revelation.  And it cemented my dedication to Magnolia Park shopping sprees.

Dinosaur bones and vintage fashion!

The day was splendid and we were happy to see so many fellow Angelinos, dressed up at this outing.  It all felt so sophisticated and cultural.  We are hoping that the Dapper Day crew continues to organize these types of events.  Thank you for giving us a wonderful reason to dress up and visit the museum. 

We just released our 9th Episode for Glamdom Fandom, where we discuss this Dapper Day outing as well as Disneyland After Dark.  Please be sure to leave us any questions or comments.  We love all of the positive reviews we have been getting.  Keep giving us those 5 stars on iTunes!  Here are the links to where you can hear our podcast...
