Indiana Antiques

I flew into Indianapolis this weekend to attend a training on a cause I'm very passionate about (suicide prevention), and was able to extend my stay to spend time doing some things I love most in Indianapolis, one of which is antique/vintage shopping.  I grew up in Indiana and dreaded going antique shopping as a child and now as an adult, I absolutely love it.  In Los Angeles, we have wonderful antique/vintage shopping as well, but Indiana is just a completely different environment.  There is a different variety of items and bargains are much easier to come by.  Yesterday my friend R and I spent many hours inside of one of Indianapolis' largest antique malls, and she snapped some photos of me as I was shopping.  While antiquing, I wore an oversized printed button-down shirt, bright blue pants, and chunky wooden heels.  What do you guys think about my look?

Pants: H&M
Shoes: Marni for H&M
