this weekend was a pretty full one with all sorts of free artsy fun that sort of just happened. don't you love when life works out that way? it's like hiring Fate as your personal secretary.
friday night a few of us headed out to a gallery opening at gallery 1988 to see "is this thing on?," an artistic tribute to the best comedians of our time. there were SO many great pieces! the exhibit will be there until saturday, january 29, if you live in the area. if not, you can check out the prints and original artwork on their website. there were so many beautiful, hilarious, talented pieces, but my absolute favorite was probably this one {although it was a close running with these flight of the conchord plushies}:
conando suave:
on saturday night, we had a friend who was in a poetry reading downtown at art share LA. there were so many great poets, much better than the small-time coffee shop poetry readings i've been to in the past. some of the poetry made me want to dance with the words, some of the poetry seemed to paint beautiful images in the air above the poet, and other poetry was just plain laugh-out-loud hilarious.
this was the friend we went to hear:
after the poetry reading we headed over to a house party and got to know a bunch of new friends. it's funny how i seem to stay out much later since living in los angeles. i tend to think 10 pm makes such a great bed time, but over the past few months i've been out so much later on so many nights. i guess this city will do that to you.
also, i may or may not have worn this same outfit to both events. but hey, it was with completely different people on each night. don't judge.

how was your weekend?
I love then I'm able to wear the same outfit more than once. Especially being pregnant I have really been appreciating that I could do that over the holiday season:)
ReplyDeleteI've totally worn the same outfit to different events on different nights. When you have something that works, you've gotta go with it. I really need to get out and see some art or theater more. Maybe I'll do that this weekend. I'm going to start looking for a few things to go to.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun weekend, and cute outfit! Definitely cute enough to wear twice! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Wow, that sounds like such an artsy and creatively-fulfilling weekend! :) I love that you went to a poetry reading...I can't believe I've never been! Next time you know of one, let me know? ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally wear the same outfit when I'm around different people :) I just get so excited that I threw together something cute, that I feel like everyone should see it :)
Cute outfit, I probably would have worn it twice too, hehe. Sounds like a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow, these events sound so cool! And, love your boots in the outfit shot :)
ReplyDeleteThat photo of you is so cute! And if the outfit works, why not keep wearing it?! :)
ReplyDeleteFree fun that just happens when you're not even expecting it? Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I think of a poetry reading, I think of that scene from So I Married an Axe-Murderer: "Harriet, sweet Harriet. She stole my heart. And my cat." Awesome!
You look fab in that outfit. If it works, wear it, I say!
I love free fun! And artsy, you can't beat that! I wish that the community in which I lived in embraced the arts more than they do! That would be fabulous! :).
ReplyDeleteP.S. love your outfit :)
Poetry reading sounds like such a fun event. I love everything about the last photo: your top and earrings and boots are super cute. The green on the background makes me so jealous, I haven't seen green in months thanks to the New England weather.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was filled with lots of cooking and reading, oh and sleeping.
better than "run like the flash, run like the flash!"??? impossible. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always look super cute! To be honest, I'm a tad envious of all the wonderful finds you make in the art & music world. I would love to find some poetry readings. My university has a a couple a semester but it's always the same night as my volunteer organization. Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteps - forgot to mention earlier..... I switched my blog template to another source and those links at the bottom were automatically added. I wish I could tell you more!
ReplyDeleteThe truth is I sometimes wear the same outfit to work unknowingly. Not day after day but sometimes I forget I've already worn it. I took it easy this weekend. Just chilled and looked out the window at the snow.
ReplyDeletep.s. The books rock!
Haha I do that with outfits all the time! Sounds like a great weekend! I just love how you described the poetry :) And that picture is fantastic!
ReplyDeletei may or may not have done that once or twenty times before. haha! no judgements here!
ReplyDeleteps. you look adorable! and that print is awesome.
your outfit is really cute. and i really like your blog! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i am a new follower. :)

I think it's o.k to wear the same outfit over and over again..and as always, you look so cute in the picture!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I heard poetry read aloud... maybe college? Or high school? Sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love love love the skinny jeans, boots, sweater combo. You look adorable!
Wow, such a fun-filled weekend!!! Also, I totally recycle good outfits -- it's one of the many perks of having different circles of friends!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend, I really like the artwork by Ken. And I think re-using outfits for different events is just plain smart...haha why fix what isn't broken? ;)
ReplyDeletePilar
Not judging at all, because that is one cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an awesome weekend and reminds me that I haven't been to a poetry reading in a crazy long time. A shame!
those boots are from target?! nice!
