LA Transformation

Photography by Karen Chen

Every time I’m in downtown LA I’m amazed by how much it is being transformed. Construction is always going on and there’s a fresh hustle and bustle in and out of the new buildings. But this new change in downtown LA also reflects how much I’ve transformed since my first day in LA. Coming from a small town in the bay I never imagined I would be where I am today. It’s no secret that fashion has gotten me to where I am today and among my most memorable pieces is my Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress.

You may recall this dress from my first post on The Journey Of A Dress a few months ago, but it’s just one of those versatile pieces that you could style in so many ways. It’s one of my most memorable pieces because wearing my first wrap dress helped empower me to become the woman I am today. The sophistication and elegance from the dress immediately replaced the nervousness I felt as a new grad about to start my life in LA. And it was this first breath of confidence that I had carried with me til this day. It’s one of those pieces that I could casually wear on the streets of LA, and then transform it into a sophisticated look to wear to the office. I hope that every woman can feel empowered by fashion to be the confident beautiful woman we are all meant to be.  Watch below, I’m sharing my #JourneyofaDress with this iconic piece!
