Give Back Gala: Couture for Charity

This weekend I was lucky enough to be able to travel to San Francisco to participate in the Give Back Gala benefiting Woman Inc. and  Career Closet. Ericka Engelman Couture showed her collection as well as 9 other up and coming, and extremely talented designers. It was so exciting to see so many different perspectives in fashion coming together for such a great  cause.

Had a few hours before we started rehearsals  for fabric shopping and a little speed shopping through   H and M.  This was my look for the day. The vintage sweater was the perfect piece for the mild but slightly windy SF day and my sockless flats still made me feel Springy.



Sweater: Thrifted Vintage
Jeans: Target
Flats: Thrifted Enzo Aglio
Necklace: Thrifted

I wish I had the time between dressing models to get pictures of some of the other designer's pieces, there were some really amazing and innovative designs.

This was such a special experience and I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. Congratulations to all of the designers on pulling off such a beautiful show!
