I spent last weekend indulged in
gourmet food, culturally embroidered clothes, craft goods and arcade games at
the popular flea market, Hmong Village. As I walked in, I was excited to see
colorful plush dolls, toys and key chains hanging out from different vendors. Hmong
village is enriched with so many cultural goods, many from Southeast Asian countries.
My favorite merchandise from the flea market are the silver and
gold jewelries worn with traditional dresses. I think Hmong Village vendors are topping
it off with trendy, stylish and affordable apparel lately. I even met an owner who was
rockin his outfit that day! (Thank you for posing with me :) ) If you have the
chance, I would recommend to check out the apparel and accessories from the
flea market because you might just find something.
For my
outfit of the day, I was inspired by the scenery of the colorful flea market. I
decided to go for a look that will contrast with the colorful scene. I went for a look that is funky, sporty and bold. Black and white was my answer. I am wearing a
jersey crop top with high waist harem pants and creepers Converse sneakers. Adding
the yellow blazer gives it a pop of color and boldness. I love pairing together
black and yellow!
