Never one to back down from a good challenge, my friend Crystal (a wardrobe stylist) wanted to put together a photo shoot using only items found at local thrift stores. A few weeks later, we were frolicking around the streets of Downtown Los Angeles. Although there was none of my beloved snow and fog, it was a nice change of scenery. Here are a few of our favorites from that afternoon.
