Planned Parenthood--Oktoberfest

There are lots of Oktoberfest-type celebrations in Yakima in the fall, and the blogabilities are definitely out there. I love seeing women put together a look all their own with what's in their closets, not necessarily going shopping to buy an "outfit" to wear. These ladies added lots of different elements that clicked together for fun Yakima-style casual looks that were very current and didn't come off as too matchy-matchy and premeditated.

Julie, perfectly casual in the long shirt, uber-skinny jeans tucked into the most delicious grey suede boots that zipped up the back. (Sorry they don't show up very well in the pic, but believe me, they were delicious.) Boots that beautiful could change your life. Make you brilliant. Get you all kinds of new, interesting friends. Make you tall, blonde, & beautiful like Julie. Well, maybe not...but she looked great.

Fashion Fearlessness: Black & white argyle tights with a coatdress, tonite worn as the dress by Dora. Can't see the huge patent bag, but it looked fabulous. I told her my blog was about Yakima style & she said, "But I'm not from Yakima!". Big deal, Prosser-- close enough. I'd venture to say Dora is the most stylish citizen in that town. Blogalicious. And she & her husband supplied all the wine for the event, so how cool is that?

This is Addy, PPCW's brand-new Development Director, developing some style of her own with the black pencil skirt, skinny belt, luscious satin blouse with crystal-ball necklace, and boots. Perfect combination, not too overdone. Addy just moved from Phoenix--how often can you wear black leather boots in Phoenix? She looks very chic & put-together for an autumn event like this.
